So waaaaaaay back in 2004 when I started this blog, I went with a particular webhost. They had a simple interface and charged a reasonable fee for their services.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
On at least two occasions throughout the years, they have “upgraded” my plan with out asking me first, and both times they also increased the price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Now, I can fully understand the logic behind their actions, the whole thing just struck me as shady and underhanded. If they had given me an option of downgrading services or something, I might have let it slide… but nope.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So, today’s project was to sign up with a new registrar, a new hosting service, and migrate all the websites to new hosting. All of which, strangely enough went off without any real problems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
(Small issue: apparently Frontier’s primary DNS server is on the fritz, so I couldn’t actually check the sites from home until I changed the DNS servers in the DHCP scope…)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Now, to cancel the old service… you have to call. OK, call them up, wait 25 minutes on hold, identify myself 3 different ways….and the cancellation team only works Mon-Fri on Eastern time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Of course.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
