Hosting Move to Hostgator
Farewell, Bluehost. I’ve moved this blog (and macroz.net) over to Hostgator now. At Bluehost occasionally I would get an “exceeds CPU quota” error, taking down the whole hosting account for a little bit after trying to do some fairly normal stuff. You can see this guy’s rant/article for more info.
The transition has seemed pretty painless. Hostgator seems great, except for the connection timeouts I get sometimes when trying to SCP or SSH. It’s manageable though. And actually, rendering time for the WordPress PHP pages seem faster than at Bluehost (with or without caching). This is a really good thing.
I still need to make sure I’m not missing everything before the bluehost account expires. But in any case, I promise more interesting content will be coming here this week. Seriously!

Hello,
I’m the owner of hostgator and I just wanted to thank you for joining us! After reading about your cpu issues with bluehost I decided to check into your usage with us. To my surprise your cpu usage was one of the lowest on the server even with all your sites combined! “Top Process %CPU 0.2″.
If you ever run into any problems with regular support please email me at brent @hostgator.com Thanks again!!
Well, the CPU usage problem was when I might’ve been trying to do certain things with PHP, like maybe some WordPress plugin… I don’t remember for sure. Generally if I didn’t do anything to my blog, it would run fine. It was definitely still annoying, though.
Thanks again!
