Things Don't Always Run Smoothly…

posted in: General Post | 1

Splodz Blogz is undergoing some changes at the moment while I switch to a self-hosted wordpress.org blog.

I purchased hosting from 123-reg and began to set things up. This turned out to be a bit of a mistake. 123-reg’s WordPress hosting is extremely slow. I couldn’t even get as far as setting up the site properly because it simply stopped responding all the time, so I dread to think what it would be like for anyone trying to view the blog if I ever got that far. Ping times jumped between 50-1000ms if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

I’ve cancelled that and will find another host. That means the domain name for my site has pointed to a few different places over the last 24 hours, and may take a while to get sorted. Temporarily https://splodzblogz.co.uk will forward to http://splodzblogz.wordpress.com as a workaround.

I apologise for the downtime today and any that may occur over the next few days. Most frustrating.

See you soon…

    I’ll be interested to hear how you get on as everyone always says you should go self-hosted. How much is it costing you ?
