I just finished moving CornerPixel’s main website to ReliableSite.Net’s hosting.  Originally I had www.cornerpixel.net hosted on IXWeb Hosting.  The draw to IXWeb hosting was the unlimited disk space and unlimited SQL 2005 databases.  IXWeb hosting was good for a little while, and I was some what happy with their services and technical support.

Soon however things got slooooowwwwww.  I found that all that space was too good to be true.  Everyone else was jumping on the bandwagon and doing things like FTP was horribly painful.  My site being mainly just static content seemed to perform okay.  I also had several DotNetNuke sites on IXWeb hosting and they loaded fairly okay.  I was also having issues trying to install new DotNetNuke sites because the SQL server was so overloaded that the process would time out and fail.

So having said all that, I have moved www.cornerpixel.net to ReliableSite.Net.  The site is zippy and so far the support has been good. 

My next step is to move the blog.  I think I will use this opportunity to change from Das Blog to WordPress.
