If you haven’t noticed, I have switched from Godaddy Hosting to Justhost And I do think the load up time on this blog has double or tripled. We all fall in to that little trap where we want to keep our hosting and domains together and then I started hating the slow speed of the page loading. So that is why I decided to switch. Now this is so much faster on my end, and I am sure it is on your end too. While moving this blog, I did learn some things:

1. No matter how prepared you think you are, it is never enough –  I don’t say this lightly.   When I started doing the move, I thought I understood how to do it.    I now know, I should of been more prepared by testing it on a local drive by using Xamp.  If I would of done that, I would of figured out that the backup file was incomplete and would of fixed that but I didn’t.   That is why the Site was down for more than 12 hours.
