New Website Host

I have made a decision that many refuse to make! I have decided to migrate my website to a new host. This new host will support both my website and my email (but, not this blog!). The reason many refuse to make that decision is because this sort of migration often results in the interruption of service for the website and all email addresses. If done correctly, that interruption should take no more than 24 hours. If not, I have seen it take over a week. I cringe at the thought of being without email for an entire week.

I have tried to minimize the effects of any interruption by starting this on a Friday, hoping to use the quiet weekend to absorb some of the downtime. So, tomorrow is the day. Hope all goes well.

I should know in a few days, if the problems are non-repairable!! I doubt it, but the thought of all those emails trying to find my server and not getting pointed to the correct place is disturbing.

Have a great weekend. Hope that I do, too!
