I’ve taken the plunge, and am giving a new hosting provider a try. Things will be moving over the summer.
This is a big jump; I’ve been hosting my own shiznit for years now. That said, I can do most of what I need with a shared hosting provider… so I’ll see if I can get by.
I went with DreamHost, and we’ll see what happens. The most important thing is that I am able to run duplicity to back things up to Amazon’s S3 service. So, even if things go bad, I can (at least) recover anything and everything I had on the shared host.
Now, to move all of my research pages from baseplate.org to rockalypse.org… I think it’s time to downsize a domain…
