Welcome To The New Server – We Outgrew The Old One

You only run this blog on that server? Seems way too overpowered to me.

Have you posted before how much your hosting costs for your site? Not that my site is anywhere near this but I was just interested.

My loading time delays were due to the MyBlogLog widget. Replaced it with BUMPzee, seems to load faster.

MyBlogLog site performance is worse than AGLOCO lately.

:smile: :cool: :oops: :roll: :razz: :lol: :shock:

We Outgrown the Old One? You do realize it should read "We OutgrEW the Old One" right? Come on John, have you outsourced your blog writing now? I mean I realize you've been reading the 4 hour work week but an obvious mistake like this in the title of the post is just sad.

:shock: :cool: :oops: :roll: :razz:

Bluefur looks like they have a lot to offer. When I make the change, which should be soon, I will surely keep them in mind. Even though I am not sure I will need the power of your server!

It's really nice to be a part of this change. I am glad to see that and I can say that I no longer have problems loading the comments pages (too many comments) :) This is rather good for the blog.

wow... I didn't realise one simple blog could outgrow a server... Surely you must be running other things

Is adult sites hosting possible there?

Is anyone else running on bluefur?? The reason for me asking is that my current hosting plan is up for renewal in a month and I'm looking to change, for a few reasons. I'm torn between going with a dreamhost or bluehost that offer insane space and bandwidth, but have, from what I've read, several problems with uptime, or staying with the smaller hosts where I know customer service will be there.

I don't need gigs of storage, I don't need gigs of bandwidth, but knowing that they are there is also nice. I do need to host at least 6 websites with a combined monthly bandwidth of about 5gb's. The price w/ the discount from bluefur is right for me, although I am a bit worried about hosting w/ a company north of the border (for phone support reasons). That said, having this large, robust and very popular blog hosted with them gives me more reason to give them a try.

Feedback from other bloggers?

new sever update that means john chow blog is more popular. it is a good news.

Nice, its running fast now :)

the bluefur homepage looks like something from template monster :eek: not that i have anything against template monster...

you have one stumble ;-)

Looks like you've settled in nicely. Put the kettle on then.

Its load faster than last time!!!

John,

Did you loose emails when you were changing to the new server?

I sent you one(contact form) and wanted to make sure because it happens around the same time.

Thanks

I too hope to have that problem one day, but the page sure does load faster! I knew it wasn't me because I have my connection through fiber optics.

Awesome John, you're going to be needing TB soon! :lol:

Of course, now half the traffic is on the old servers and half is on the new ones :)

Yes definitely much faster. Your site is one of the few ones that have that much traffic and still run smoothly (especially with all that keyword advertisements :))

The coupon is not available with domains.

Congrats, needing a new server means traffic's increasing a lot, must be because of the free e-book :smile:

Good luck with the new server- may there be many more upgrades in store for you!

hey john is your hosting free?

Hey,

Congrats on the server move. I wish the servers that my host use were that powerful :P In fact, I just wish that my host was actually working all the time :P Too often have I ventured to my site and found it down... I will move when the lease is up.

Perhaps I'll use the coupon when that time comes :) Thanks John!

Everything seems to be running good, the site loads a heck of a lot faster then it used to.

haha that seems cool, i wonder what causes a server update?

If you'd like i can christen the server. Don't blame me if it ends up covered in champagne.

Great! I got 15% off from John's coupon code.
