Well, I've signed up with an external host, the plan will be to migrate the main blog site over to the new server (at
http://www2.mostlylucid.co.uk) over the next few days. This should be a lot more stable and will eliminate the *holiday death* periods the site has tended to have over my past couple of holidays. Seems like a
pretty good deal too from
these people which includes 500mb web space, 10gb per month transfer and four SQL Server / MySQL databases. Anyway, I'll try them out over the next few months (with some SERIOUS uptime detection stuff in place) and see how it goes...
