Hosting Performance
So as I was making some posts and doing some backend work within wordpress I noticed some really slow requests… If you browse my blog what do you think about the performance? I hadn’t had complaints before and I wonder if something is going on right now (shared hosting…)
Amidst the fray I’m thinking more and more about hosting myself. I’ve migrated one of my clients partially to this host so I could use php 5+ but am reluctant to move them completely here if the performance isn’t really there.
I like the prices available @ slicehost. It will require me to secure & me to monitor etc etc but it is probably worth the performance increase and unshared hosting.
0The theme again.
I ended up finding a really nice theme that was still inside my desired color scheme yet was very clean and easy on the eyes. Theme is called deCoder. Here’s a link to the developer’s website. http://webdemar.com/
0Back up and Running
Well I decided it was time to get this blog back up and running. Hopefully my jabbers can give people some things to think about and respond to.
