I am going to do it

I was thinking about changing around my hosting as I mentioned in another post (here) and have decided that I am going to make the change before the end of the month and then cancel the account in September.

This is going to give me sometime to find the errors and transfer all of my sites.

So if you see some crazy stuff happening let me know.

Hosting Predictament

I am trying to think of ways to minimize my bills and maximize my simplicity.  Basically I want to save money and live by my favorite (and probably every Engineer’s) principle KISS (Keep It Simple STUPID).

Right now I am running some of my sites on different hosting companies.  I have a couple of sites running on a reseller account from one company.  I think that I am going to move ALL of my sites to the reseller.  None of them are big in terms of resource hogs at the moment, and the way that my time scheduling is going and the weather is, I doubt that I am going to be spending a lot of time to build them up and MAKE them hogs.

Here is my headache however.  One of the sites that I have to move is this one.  I have had it on this account since time immortal, but it is a expense that I really don’t need.  My worry is that I am going to forget to set something up correctly in the move.  I have a lot of different scripts running on difference sub-domains.  Not that any of these are really making any money, I just hate seeing errors when I look at my stats.  Especially when the errors are my fault.

Anyway, that is enough rambling for now, I will be sure to let you faithful readers know when I am about to make the big move.  I am hoping to get it done by the end of August.

I am just wondering if anyone else is noticing a blip on their online marketing, ecommerce, and affliiate campaigns in the middle of all of this craziness on Wall Street.  I am amazed how much money centeral banks are throwing in trying to calm things down. 

I am not involved in affiliate campaigns that include credit of any sort so I am not really noticing much change at the moment.  However since it is the big ticket items that the real money is in, I am sure that there is going to be a trickle down affect that I am going to watch for.  Might have to start looking for more “defensive” type business ideas.

So let me know, what are you seeing.
