Moved server, intial GoDaddy impressions

Just moved my site and blog over to a new server.  I took the plunge and got some hosting at GoDaddy.com for pretty darn cheap.  It seems like it meets most of my needs so far like php support which is needed for this blog and decent storage and speed.  Their e-mail forwarding is great, too.  I had been running my e-mail through zone edit before which gave my forwarded e-mails a roughly 30 minute delay.  Godaddy’s e-mail forwarding is very snappy.

I’ve only noticed one issue with running wordpress on GoDaddy which is I can’t seem to be able to use pretty urls for my post addresses.  The other thing is support for Ruby isn’t included until the next higher purchase level (I got the economy hosting), which I was looking at learning eventually.  Besides that I’m quite pleased with the hosting so far and from past experience, their service has been quite good.

    hmm…we host both the Venture Outdoors website and Kayak Pittsburgh at HostMySite.com, but we get the separate http://www.kayakpittsburgh.org domain name from GoDaddy. So, I can’t tell you anything particular about GoDaddy’s service but glad it’s working out for you. I’m hoping to incorporate our VO blog onto the website at some point, so let me know how that’s working out for you (though we’re at Blogger).
