SMART 03 - find a new hosting service for the website

I checked out dc-hosting and discovered that the professional bronze account should be more than adequate for my future needs, so I bought one for £47 a year. I know it’s possible to get media wiki working there because frankie has done it, and I watched a little as he installed evan’s movable type blog there ( not so sucessfully, it turned out )

I’ve also done a “partial transfer out” from 10quid and pointed the old domain at the new hosts DNS servers. This will actually happen at 0400 or 0800 tomorrow morning, but I still have to go back and do the “full transfer out” sometime, otherwise they’ll try and charge me for domain name renewall later in the year.

It may be simplest at this stage to use the same one that Frankie uses for his domain and Wiki. On the other hand I think it only offers 10 MB on the basic service. Storage should really be cheap compared to bandwidth.

steps:

1) do research
2) make decision
3) buy service
4) transfer out from old host

TIMED – by next Thursday, 3rd Feb.
