Hey All,

I just wanted to let everyone know that this website will be transitioning over the next few weeks (just in case their are any ups and downs along the way).

I was starting to hit the occasional database connection limit exceeded (the sole downside that I've found with my host is that connections are hardcoded at 18 and you can't pay to upgrade that limit). I also have a VPS, but I've found it just doesn't cut it for some of the shell related things that I want to do.

As a result I'm getting rid of the VPS and I picked up two servers, a 'Root Server' and a 'Windows Server'. I'm fairly happy that the costs are reasonable (compared with the other services that I looked at) and I liked the concept of one Windows, one Linux rather than 1 bigger server... Once I have all the software I want installed and everything configured, I plan on transitioning this blog to the 'Root Server'. Once there it will have it's own IP and associated SSL cert. I will also have a few test beds to play with.

Server Specs:
2.2Ghz AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1GB RAM
160GB w/ Software RAID 1
2TB Monthly Transfer (per server)
