Every week, we dedicate 1 day to reducing costs at our voiceover wekbsite. It is what we affectionately call “sh*t Friday”. One of the items that came up last month was to move from our old hosting providers ‘Fasthosts’ to somewhere more economical. Fasthosts are a sales machine – literally. I asked for a discount on the current fees we were paying but they pretty much just tried to keep me paying the same rate. I did some research and selected Linode as our new hosting providers. We’re moving from a dedicated setup to a VPS setup, which should make it easier for us to scale and manage our costs as we go forward.

The transition went really well, except for my personal blog which is caught in some kind of database repair death spiral. Rather than persevere, its time for me to start afresh. Apologies to all the people I had linked to in the past and to all those who had taken the time to leave a comment.
