Foreign Perspectives

It took ages but I’ve finally got the images for the listings sites uploaded to the new host and the domains that I’ve transferred seem to be operational too.

That leaves me with about half a dozen domains to do today to complete the move of the listings sites. They’re the simple ones so there shouldn’t be any problem in moving them over.

Next up are the blogs and the directory which are a little more complex in that they both use databases. There’s a surprising number of photos in the blog too but nothing like the amount that the listings sites use.

Once they’re over, I’ll be able to delete the databases from 1and1 and downgrade my hosting plan which’ll save something like £10/month as the only pre-database plan I needed was all of £25/year. That’s actually the biggest problem with the charging structure on 1and1 – if you need a database then you’re immediately looking at a jump from a reasonable £25/year up to £10/month.
