Welcome to my new home!
Since Mari is moving from nightmare DreamHost to HoldFire I obviously had to backup my WordPress installation, backup all the files on the server that I needed and keep it safe for a few days until the switch was done. At some point during this very long and boring process, I did most of it manually, I decided that since I had about $50 in my PayPal account I would look for a good host / register and finally buy my own domain again.
It took me quite a while to track one down that was a great price and had positive reviews. I ended up going with VoNetwork.net’s S-200 plan for a mere $20.00 per year for 200MB of space with 4GB of bandwidth. I really, really don’t need any more space than that but if I do then I’ll just upgrade in the future. I came across VoNetwork.net via Jenn’s post about them on Lavish.
Anyway, within 20 minutes my site was live and I was searching for a decent theme to put up while I created my own. Something happened to my installation (uh, it went..nasty!) and by the time I’d fixed it the lovely people over at WordPress.org had released version 2.5 so I wiped my site and started over with a new install of this fabulous new version of WordPress.
So, ladies and gents, welcome to my new home - AshesFromStars.com
