I’ve Moved

The PTS Blog has moved. The address is the same (after a little monkeying about in the settings) but the hosting company is new. The new host has had no issues with the MySQL, PHP, or other alphabet soup required for administration and service of a dynamic blog or web site. Ironically, the old hosting company fixed their own MySQL mess yesterday, at about the time my payment to the new company hit my charge account. Too late, and also too little, judging from what I read last night around the internet. For a little fun, enter a random company name and “sucks” into a Google search, and let Google handle your due diligence.
The new hosting company is still unglitching my new web site’s address. When you set up a new account, you get a temporary address, like http://peltier.hostingcompanyname.com/, and when all the internet’s DNS servers have learned which DIN goes with which URL (I love TLAs), you can start using the permanent address, http://peltiertech.com. Well, for the next hour or so, only a mixture of the two will find my new site: http://peltier.peltiertech.com.
Not a major deal, considering that my site has been either very slow or completely shut off for parts of the past two weeks, and the hosting company took half a week to admit to me that there was a problem with the database servers, and over another week of “one or two days, we’re working on it, really, yeah, that’s the ticket” to get it working again. Not to mention the spate of problems I’ve had connecting to the old site via FTP in the past six months.
Update: The regular links now are working. Supposedly the problem was due to settings in the .htaccess files brought over from the old host.

“I love TLAs.” HA! You speak my language! I work for a military vehicle contractor, and we maintain an intranet website dedicated to explaining all the gov’t and CATIA TLA’s (Three Letter Acronyms, for those unfortunate enough not to experience their power).

I think your link paths have changed from
http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/2008/04/04/ive-moved/
to
http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/?p=46
You need to go to Options Permalinks and set you permalink structure.

Thanks, Dick. Fixed it. During the transfer to the new hosting company, some of the stuff I’d expected to carry over got dropped. I’m still finding little things here and there.

Jon,
I’m glad that you are up and running again. Any chance that you will reveal who the old host was? I’d guess not, otherwise you would have already. Still, the new host seems to be treating you well. How about some props for them?
After going through some less severe problems (20 second page load times) on a brand new site recently, I’m thinking about moving to a new host.

Jon, I noticed something missing from http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/, which is a link to click back to http://peltiertech.com/
