Yesterday, my server was having connection problems again. I was getting somewhere around 80% packet loss. This only lasted for a little while, and I have been getting my server co-located for free, but this sort of thing is really not OK — especially since this is my primary email server, and hosts a handful of websites besides this one. So, I bought the entry server kit from Server Beach. I have to say that I was impressed with their service, and they had my machine up and running within 6 hours. I then took the rest of last night and this morning to finish setting it up, and moving over DNS…
Long story short, you are now viewing this site on its new server. It should be much faster and snappier than before, as it has gone from a Celeron 533 / 320mb RAM to an Athlon 2200 / 1gb RAM. Leave me a comment if you have any problems.
PS: Anyone who is using webmail off my site, you should see a BIG speed increase when looking through large email boxes!

When you are hosted at serverpronto.com why do you say that you are hosted at serverbeach.com.
Any specific reasons for shifting to serverpronto.com?

Hi Karan,
Originally, I was hosted with a friend of mine who rana a datacenter. I then moved to Server Beach. After around a year, though, I found Server Pronto, which offers pricing at around 1/3 of Server Beach’s cheapest rates. The service isn’t quite as good as Server Beach, but for the price, I can’t complain (literally … I can’t call them up to complain).
