On the move

The move observant among you may have noticed that BeckysWeb has been a little rough around the edges recently. Basically anything with a link to Flickr has stopped working properly, including my home page and even dear old Flickr Sudoku.

I'll save the latest rant about FastHosts technical "support" for another day, suffice it to say that this site is changing hosts. You won't have to change your bookmarks or anything, but you might have to put up with some additional broken-ness while all the little bits of my site get wrapped in newspaper, carefully labelled with meaningful titles such as "miscellaneous bollocks, 2006 to present" and shipped off to their new home.

I'm off to shout at FAQs about DNS settings until they stop being deliberately all complicated. Wish me luck!

[Update: well that seems to have been relatively painless! HostingUK have been very efficient and BeckysWeb is now ensconced in a new home. It will take a while for the change of address to propagate worldwide, but if you're reading this on my site then you've come to the new address.]

Blogger Joanna  I've been gradually moving all my sites across to Heart Internet. Only the angels left to move. They've been pretty good so far.

Aren't we always ;-) 
Blogger Becky  You could probably fit them all on the head of a pin anyway. :) 
Blogger sophie h  Hey, I know I a short-arse but even I dont fit on the head of a pin. :)
Good to see the site up and working again (so far) Becky. 
Anonymous Serena Mayfly  The links to Flickr thing might have been Flickr themselves. I've been having trouble with them for days from direct links. 
Blogger Becky  I wondered that Serena. But everything immediately started working on the new hosts, and they still weren't working with the old host, so it wasn't a problem with Flickr per-se. Anyway, I'd been meaning to change hosts ever since this cock up, and the recent security fiasco. The new hosts are doing a better job for cheaper, so I voted with my feet.

P.S. Funny I was just wondering yesterday if you were still around as I'd not heard from you in a while. :) 
Anonymous rachel  Been hating Fashosts hosting and Loving their domain management since 1999. It seems they come up with a corker of a fiasco every few years where their hosting is concerned. :) I always keep domain management and hosting separate - for a quick getaway!

Hope your new home lives up to expectations. 
Blogger LucyTolliday  I've yet to find anyone with a nice word about F******t.
Good luck with the new home. The switch looked seamless to me. 
Anonymous Ruth  I do all my hosting myself; I just buy domains from 123-reg and then update the DNS to point to the (static) IP address of my ADSL connection - then I have a Linux server that sits in my back bedroom that I have complete and total control over that does all my hosting and whatnot.
