I've switched web hosting companies from Linksky to TextDrive. There was nothing wrong with Linksky, but TextDrive allows its users great power to do lots of cool stuff on their sites. The thing that got me was that they embrace Python, and allow things like Django, which I want to use for some things on this site (coming soon). So I made the decision to switch.

I had decided this a month or so ago, but there was a problem. TextDrive was in the process of moving their data center to San Diego (they're right off Aero Drive apparently). Due to the move, they weren't accepting any new clients. Drat. When they finally got the move all finished and started accepting clients again, they offered a fantastic deal, lifetime hosting. Just pay a (somewhat large) one time fee and never get a bill from them again. I worked it out, and it pays for itself in like 3 years. They've done this before, in the past when they needed some "VC" money, and had said they'd never do it again. I was jealous of the lifetime customers when I was reading about TextDrive, and now here I had the chance to become one. I jumped on it. So I'm here for life. And I think that's their life, not mine, so be nice to me and maybe I'll put you in my will to get this account when I get hit by a bus.

Anyway, this is a long winded way of saying that if you're reading this post, you're reading it on the new server at TextDrive, so welcome.
