Right, so I finished up moving all of the accounts from the old webserver to the new webserver. I’m rather experienced in this process these days so it was pretty much a walk in the park. Most probably wouldn’t realize that the webserver was changed if they weren’t paying attention, lol.

I was scared to death to do this, which is why I waited for so very long… one of the reasons at least. The last time I decided to upgrade to something bigger and better it sort of exploded; my business has never recovered, that is to say that I still don’t have as many clients as I used to before that disaster. Anyway, I’m poised to conquer once again with a new server that barely breaks a sweat, so yay for that.

I tend to check netcraft whenever I do changes, basically as a way of keeping track of random and mundane things like software versions, etc. I checked Vangogh (the new and formerly very old webserver) and all was as expected. I then checked Picasso and saw that the netblock is owned by me. Instead of the NOC being listed, it strangely says “Indigo Meridian.” It was a moment of shocked surprise sort of wow and also a moment of “damn… that’s cool!” Damn for the fact that Picasso is going poof and thus won’t be on that netblock anymore. Oh well, lol.

I’m very happy with the new provider thus far. They had the new webserver up and running pretty much immediately. Technically it was delayed by a day, but then it was the 4th of July weekend so I can’t be complaining about that. They also have a monitoring service that seems to be as efficient as the one I’m currently paying for; they provide this monitoring service without additional charge. One of the nicer things is that they allow changes to the reverse DNS through a convenient web interface, versus having to always bug the NOC techs.

So, interesting observation, things are going well, I always like those positive steps. :)
