Site, server, continent re-jig

Sorry if things are moving around, links are broken or functionality missing. I have just moved the site, and I mean that in a quite physical kind of way: it was, until last night, hosted in Freemont, California, US. It is now hosted in London, UK.

It has been on my mind for quite some time, seeing as I have access to top class hosting on both continents, and I figured there wouldn’t be too many site visitors on new years day in any case. The main reason for the move was simple: the majority of my site visitors (70%) are based in UK and/or Europe, and having the site physically closer to the visitors means less “hops” and better response times.

The actual move was surprisingly straight forward, even though I (in a slightly wine induced state at 04.00 in the morning) forgot to take any type of back-up of anything. However, there probably is, and will be, some anomalies happening on the site until I’ve encountered them myself and corrected them.

Now you know. Bear with me, it will all be back to normal pretty soon. :)
