Goodbye Ipserverone, Hello Exabytes

If you were here yesterday and you noticed that this site was showing a Wordpress Installation page, it was because I was transferring my files from Ipserverone to my new web hosting account in Exabytes.

Ipserverone initially was okay, but after sometime, I found it tend to be slow, and a few downtimes was also killing my income. Ipserverone also didn’t allow podcasting, which was another reason why I moved out because Abby wanted to do podcasting for her blog (she’s hosting under me).

My domain hoster also another reason why I wanted to move out. Malaysianhoster.com wanted to charge more (RM35 to RM40!) for my domains. I’ve already transferred mine out and this domain will be free for life. :P I’ll soon move Abby’s domain to another better and cheaper domain hosting company when it’s about to expire.

The server transition was smooth, and was pretty fast. I thought it would take about 1-2 days but it only took about 12 hours to complete the DNS propagation. Pretty quick!

BTW, this is my first time moving from one server to another. Things were pretty complicated at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was quite simple. LOL.

I’m happy with the results and the support provided from Exabytes, for now. We’ll see how it goes. :P

PS: checkout MalaysianBloggers.com.my quite cool innit?
