Moving servers - lost entry

Oops - I made a mistake and posted my last blog entry on my old server after the DB had been moved over … here it is again

“Well I am changing hosting services - even with 5 month remaining on my plan. My current hosting service (ipowerweb - that I have been with for 1.5 years) refuses to upgrade my account to the specifications of the new accounts they are getting. I originally signed up getting 800Mb of space - pretty good, but recently they upped the size to like 5Gb for new accounts. When I asked how I can get the new size applied to my account - they basically said I can’t without renewing my current policy.

I might of actually thought about it if it hadn’t taken 5 days to get a response. I hate lousy customer service especially when I know a number of other hosting services that would be more then willing to take my business.

Anyway - I will be moving my site over to another host (lunarpages) that will credit me the 5 months I am losing from ipowerweb. I have been working with them for my company for about 3 years and have had absolutely no problems with them. Their customer service is top notch. The longest I have ever had to wait for a response to a problem was 24 hours… usually they get back to me within 3 - if I can’t get immediate help on their IRC channel.

Lunarpages has transfered over all my files and databases and will do the DNS work for me. I unfortunately though have to get all the site pages re-organized with all the correct access credetials and links. Should be fun - considering I have never done it before.”

Raj - I know you made a comment to it , but it is also on the other server.

Since then I have gotten the blog back up and almost all of my links work… just the gallery doesn’t want to play… *sigh* will work on that tonight hopefully so I can get our old pictures up and add a few more new ones that I’ve been holding since I ran out of space on the old server.
