Update: Added the “logo”.
I made the choice to switch the host for AMG, if you don’t already know AMG is on a totally different server and plan than any of my other sites or any sites hosted on CreativeLive.
I used to host AMG with Eleven2 (pronounced ElevenSquared) under the “TheAppleMedia” reseller account, but that was costing me ~$50/month to host three websites (AMG, MacBrilliance, and TheUltimac) so I decided to put MacBrilliance and TheUltimac on the CL server and decided it was time for me to go on shared hosting for AMG.
After remembering a topic that was started a while ago in the Spymac forums about webhosts, I remembered a post by everybody’s favorite person - narco about a place called HostGator, which has been in business since 2002 so I feel safe enough with them.
Now AMG uses a lot of resources and bandwidth (don’t ask me why, but people actually like reading this blog) and so I had to get a nice plan with a good amount of bandwidth and unlimited MySQL db’s (I still have a couple of them to import, so no Mint for now :() and so I went with HostGator’s “Swamp Croc” plan. So far I’m happy with it, I transferred all my AMG data privately using the IP I was assigned to further prevent problems 
so all is good now.
Also, I said I might “reboot” the site, and if you haven’t noticed by now - I did. It’s nothing spectacular, just a much needed “simplifying” of Squible. I like this one, it’s simple and white is good - good color. But eventually I will employ my skills that I learned from the latest book I read, but until then you’re stuck with this ;). *snore* bye bye!
Horay! Glad to see its up. Btw, did anyone see the counter before this page was up? Did you notice it updated 20 hits per second? Yeah umm… that was me…. sorta…. *cough* was my brothers idea tar and feather him not me *cough. It was kewl though. 20,000 hits was kewl.
Hmm, that’s weird. You told me that CreativeLive was quitting, and that that was the reason that Macsicle and Webmacster87.info went down.
Wow, way to pay attention Doug, I never said that.
Umm, yeah you did.
You misunderstood me then, because that’s not what I meant…
What’s more, skoker told me that the site went down because I didn’t change the nameservers. The only problem is you never told me to change the nameservers, so don’t tell skoker that it’s all my fault.
Nevermind, this was a test of the emergency who gives a shit system.
HEY, don’t make me stop this car!
LMFAO!
And today is not Wednesday
Logo is Rip
Hmm… Awefully, similar. Perhaps I’ll let it slide as inspirational? ;p
How is AMG?
Oh, I’m sorry - I’ll revise the logo ASAP to try not to make it look like I copied you. Sorry about that.
Do as you please. How is AMG as a host?
I am not an actual webhost, I host with a company called Host Gator, sorry for the confusion.
oops. my bad. How is Host Gator?
So far, awesome - nice fast loading times, cPanel, great customer support, and very reasonable plans for the price. Highly recommended!
