You might have seen a blog maintenance notice. If you don’t, great! That means you’re on our new server, powered by HostGator.
We’ve signed up with HostGator because, while we’ve been growing, so have they. HostGator now delivers hosting that is both speedy and resilient… with a support team to match. We’ve been testing them internally for awhile now, and we’re happy to be spreading our hosting over to HostGator.
By switching some of our sites to HostGator, MechaWorks will save thousands of dollars per year on hosting. Yes, that’s right, thousands. In a bad economy, moves like these feel that much better.
Oh, and WordPress 2.8 is spreading across all MechaWorks sites right now. You’ll hear more about MechaWorks and WordPress in the coming days, so sit tight… especially if you live in Silicon Valley.
Just to be clear, we’re not ending our long-term relationship with RapidVPS. We still rely on RapidVPS’s excellent support and massive speed to power birds like PhoneNews.com.
