Better blogging for me, thanks to Blacknight

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

I recently wrote about moving to greener pastures, virtually speaking. This blog is now hosted with Blacknight.

The reason for the move is that my previous hosting was on Microsoft Windows servers and simply put, it didn’t work.

Any Wordpress version above version 2.3.1 resulted in plenty of errors, blank screens upon logging in, not being able to use pretty permalinks, categories not loading etc. And not just on my blog.

The site is now hosted on a linux server and its running beautifully. I’ve been able to upgrade Wordpress to the latest version without problems and I’ve enabled pretty permalinks.

I changed over the hosting on Tuesday, which I stupidly timed with creating my first advert on Facebook for eWrite Lite. The ad created plenty of clicks and plenty of them might have received a blank site thanks to my own fantastic timing as the site changed over to BN DNS name servers. But thats for a later blog post :)

For now, Thank you Blacknight! I’m recommending customers using eWrite Lite CMS to use Blacknight hosting.

Moving to greener virtual pastures

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Im about to move this blog and site over to Blacknight hosting. I’ve paid for a small package and I’ll be changing the name servers shortly.

I’ve had some trouble recently setting up blogs on the existing hosting which is using IIS and so I’m looking forward to residing on a Linux server which will enable me to upgrade the blog to version 2.5.1 and enable the friendlier perma links which seem to cause issues for IIS.

Once there, I’ll be continuing to blog about the ongoing developments of eWrite Lite, eWrite Messenger and eWrite Forms more frequently.Who knows, I might end up being featured on Alltop!
