Few weeks ago, I talked about having problems with my web server. Yesterday, I decided to switch over to a more reliable provider. After some research, I decided to go with www.fivebean.com.
The greatest thing about Fivebean plans is their price. I am paying US$13 for a full year of service! At the same time, I get 5GB of storage, 50GB of transfer a month, and a full complement of features on the web site. For $13 a year, you could just get an account to play with and learn.
I switched over my domain name to the new server and all the DNS changes seem to have propagated. Changing servers is always a tricky thing, as the changes do not happen instantly, but may take up to 48 hours.
I am also playing with Google Apps for Your Domain. It allows you to setup gmail to work on your domain, and at the same time have all other google features, like docs, calendar and contacts. I believe I have it working on a test domain, but I think I will stick with my current gmail address to handle my main email.
I was actually getting a headache yesterday, as I was configuring two servers, using three DNS hosts, configuring three domains, and setting up two Google Apps domains. A lot of things that can go wrong, but luckily, everything seems to be working!
