I can’t believe that I just outsourced myself! After my recent Ubuntu upgrade experience, I finally pulled the plug and signed up with bluehost.com. For the money, it is really not a bad deal; especially if you are crazy enough to have multiple domains. Now I just have to figure out the logistics of changing the name servers and track down where the email goes. Not too big a deal, I’m just not looking forward to explaining to my family, just where to find their email!
I was really impressed with the cPanel application, just a couple of mouse clicks and you have a WordPress installation, another couple clicks sets up your email, and a few more sets up the FTP space. Pretty slick! This was not near as much fun as spending multiple evenings learning how to set this up on my own box; now I can really appreciate everything that cPanel actually does.
As a test, I transfered one domain, windyknolldesignstudio.com. Hopefully, in the next two days, all of the name servers will be synced up and I can see what I actually did! When I decide to move beilers.com, there is even a way to transfer my blog to the bluehost server; that will be an interesting test!
