90% Painless, honestly.
So folks, after all of the issues yesterday, here I am, back online, and back live. A few quick uploads to this directory or that one, an import or two, and whammo, here I am.
If you’d priorly registered to be a user here, you’ll need to re-register, sadly, because those users didn’t carry over. Even still, things worked well for the switch over. I believe the syndication feed on LiveJournal still works, but we’ll find out soon enough…
I have to give my new host major major props. Folks, seriously, if you’re looking for webhosting, check out SearchItUp.com. I e-mailed them with each and every issue, including an unforseen billing issue that popped up, and they took care of it on the spot without any problems. Seriously. I registered my hosting at about 1:30pm yesterday, got my confirmation e-mails by 11:50pm, they talked me through my nameserver switch-over–something that I know is easy, but seeing eHost was my domain service too, well, I had problems with knowing where to go to set my nameservers. And then, I was just waiting for the propagation at 2am, went to sleep, had the billing issues at 7am which were resolved by 9am with a quick e-mail, and then my service was online not even an hour after that. And because most of their e-mails back to me were within 20-30 minutes of when I sent in a question, well, I was completely surprised at the great service. And they told me they’re even faster when you actually open a support ticket. Not bad at all. Major props from me.
Let’s see… I have a good story to tell, but I’m waiting till I get something in the mail first to tell my tale. Other than that, I was excited to hear that Seven Mary Three’s day and night driving will be pre-leaked on iTunes within the next few weeks. This means that all of the pre-orders of the CD will be shipped earlier than February 19th, and I’ll end up getting an early birthday gift (January 31st) if everything works out well. Beautiful. I’m addicted to the samples that I’ve heard to this point, and I’m just itching to have that album in my hands. Simply amazing.
That’s all I’ve got, folks. Thank you for your patience in working with me, and I’ll be back to me sooner than you’d imagine…
