Server Migration Pains

I am migrating a database server (Microsoft SQL Server) from ReadyHosting to a new dedicated server on ServerBeach. Please pardon any errors you might encounter. ReadyHosting have been a discount hosting provider for me for many years (like $100/year or something!) but apparently it has now been sold, and the new guys are saying my configuration is incompatible with their setup. Grrr. And the ServerBeach costing $199/month has been nothing but pain. So far I am blaming all the hardships on Microsoft, but my patience is running very thin... I am also experimenting with this new integrated text advertising scheme from Kontera (who recently got VC funding from Sequoia Capital). Somehow Kontera and Yahoo seem to be buddy-buddy, and I don't know if it will affect our AdSense or Google PR. All that's bad news. The good news is that I am buying a nice server to accomodate the bunch of newly added Indian blogs and to host the spider. I have many many apps in the works. Examples: • Email a picture and recieve a PhotoQuilt • Request high-resolution pictures • Request bigger versions of all of our 12,000 or so pictures • Recieve Indian language contents (much of which is not suitable for web) as outlined in Computing via Email entry many years ago. • Content Managed Comments • Perhaps Contnet managed Discussion Forum (Comments Disabled for Now. Sorry!) First Written: Saturday, May 13, 2006 Last Modified: 5/13/2006 10:29:32 PM
