Changing web hosts is a drag.

Especially when you want dynamic content hosting. Setting up MySQL databases, webmail, blogs, forums and wikis isn’t a simple thing… no matter a control panel vendor says. I’ve spent more time with Tech support in the last couple of days than I ever have. But then before all I needed was simple HTML hosting.

To be fair, the Tech Support has been great. I can chat with them and usually everything gets taken care of in about 15 minutes to half an hour.

Word to the wise: switch hosts before your previous contract expires. Give yourself a lot of overlap time and don’t change the DNS until all the kinks are ironed out.

Welcome to the Heliomedia blog!

The blog is but one of the new features of heliomedia.com version 3. You will also find a forum, a wiki and alot of PHP.

Here you will find my daily rants and raves about computers, graphics, photography and the internet. Add a dash of philosophy and politics. And then we’ll see what it all adds up to…

Cheers,

Eric
