emthree.org has moved!

There was some brief downtime over the weekend for various pieces of the site (the gallery, the wedding blog), but all in all it was a pretty smooth transition. That’s not to say, however, that my old hosting provider didn’t try to screw me one last time — namely by creating a “full backup” of my old site’s directory tree that had the last 3-6 characters trimmed off of nearly every filename for nearly every picture in almost every photo album in the gallery. But now it matters not; emthree prevailed. The blog abides.

This new hosting service, lunarpages.com, tossed us a few configuration headaches along the way, but nothing extraordinary — just your run-of-the-mill differences to be expected while migrating from one hosting service to another. Thankfully, lunarpages has something (lots of things, actually) my previous service doesn’t: a huge support community and excellent online documentation — and, based on the flurry of emails I received within five minutes of signing up, at least a decent (albeit automated) help ticket system. My old hosting service, ehostdepot.com, served me well at first (after luring me in by promising HUGE storage capacities and ROCK-BOTTOM prices!!!) — and then quickly slipped off the edge into the yawning abyss of we-have-your-money-why-should-we-support-you-now — managed to NEVER get my email forwarders to work (seriously, how frickin hard is THAT to do?!) and/or ignored all of my help requests about it. They now have permission to osculate my entire posterior. I am free.
