$69 for a dedicated server? Does that include support or pay per support? I have been with cheaper Dedicated server before and just get crap support. I think I will stick to my 200$ server at Server Intellect and keep my support. I wonder if that $69 bucks is a VPS?

@patrick: MT was the interchange format for most of my migrations – it seems to be the closest thing to a blog migration rosetta stone. Many apps can export to MT backup (if not natively, then with help from plugins or external code), and most can import from it.

@obvious: too rich for my blood. My adsense is far too low to cover a dedicated server.

I’m considering iWeb8, that had ranked very high in last Netcraft Survey. You can have a dedicated server for US$69/month. Depending on your incoming with adsense, you can considered that (http://iweb8.com/).

In the past 5 years it’s been 5 platforms, on 5 hosts (1 for each of those would be the very early LiveJournal days).

I really should get around to importing the old MovableType blog into (the current) SimpleLog – MT has everything from 2003-2006 (b2 then WordPress then MovableType). But effort!

Heh – Uptime not as important as the response times… DH, currently training incsub at c.6000ms to c.1000ms.

James, is that an uptime throwdown?

The Dreamhost folks have been really great helping to figure out wtf is going on wrt performance. I’ll give them a couple weeks to sort things out. And then maybe I’ll take you up on that…
