Seems that my PR got bumped up a notch today to PR5.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.6.1 today. Not a security release so no need to update if you’re happy with 2.6. Read the change log.

Tried out the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin today (WPAU). A few scares with directory permissions as usual, but besides that, the upgrade was a success.

Download WPAU here.

It’s done. DNS records are up to date, mysql synchronized and directory structure intact.

My new hosting provider is Fivio Internet Services.

Why?

Simple, I’m tired of the big players. Shared hosting users don’t get the respect they need most times and I’m not alone on this. Many share my experience.

It’s time to look elsewhere. Smaller upcoming providers like Fivio will always have their customers taken care of well. It’s just good business ethics.

I’ve had excellent support from them during my move so far and looking forward to a great hosting experience with them.

I’m moving to a new hosting service today.My current host has been plagued with downtimes and DB issues. Hopefully in the future I can host with them again.

Hopefully the downtime’s minimal. I will keep you posted.

Shinjiru will be moving my shared hosting account to a new server tomorrow. The move is scheduled for 9pm (GMT +8) 8th May 2008.

Since my DNS records will also need to be updated, The Danesh Project will be down till the updated DNS entries propagate to all DNS servers on the net. This will take up to 72 hours.
