Thanks to my new server provider MaxtorHost FiddyP blog is now much faster and secure. The commentluv script is also more secure and faster.
My previous server was a bit pants, the plesk dashboard was super slow, ftp was unreliable and support was terse and “couldn’tgiveatoss”. I managed to overcome the ftp problems by telnet’ing to the server and gzipping the httpdocs folder and database (old phpmyadmin wouldn’t download an export file grrr). The kind support at Maxtor Host was able to restore my database and all root files and folders within minutes of me asking in a support ticket.
Now I don’t have to worry about losing any posts since before I went on holiday, I can get on with my master plan for the new CommentLuv site and perhaps get the AJAX version sorted so it can be easily installable and should be compatible with typepad blogs too.
I’m kinda busy with a lot of stuff I have to catch up on but I’ll get there eventually! Thanks to all those that wished me happy travelling. It was an awesome holiday which I’ll write about soon enough…
hazaa for Maxtor Host who can provide a managed semi-dedicated server for hundreds of dollars less than the crappy streamline.net. (their support roks too)
