Our New Digs at NYC Web Design

You may have noticed that we recently made two changes here, outside of a modified presentation.

First, we switched web hosts. While hosting companies may not seem to provide a direct link to web design, I have a few topics honing in on that concept that I will post in the near future.

But, for the purpose of this post, I think there are two main reasons we made the switch.

One, we are running WordPress and wanted a linux host, rather than the IIS host we had a number of sites on. We still have a number of sites with the host, but for linux, we needed to look around a little. To be fair, we also wanted a dedicated IP to use for two sites, to run as a case study, so that was the extra push to make the switch.

Two, we ultimately wanted to test more hosts. While we have an enterprise and middle-enterprise level host that we choose for most projects, we really haven’t ventured out and tested out a number of the smaller (read, cheaper, shared) hosts. So, we thought it was about time to go beyond the 2 or 3 that we have used a lot, starting with some of the big names.

So far…so…ok. Not quite good yet, but getting closer.

The other big change that we made was to refine our mission statement a bit.  That probably shows up in very small ways at the moment, but a lot more will be forthcoming on that front as well.
