So after 9 years with Evohosting the time came to seek out a new company to handle my relatively low space and bandwidth requirements, with 5 Domains and really wanting a UK based host, it was a rather trickier task than I first thought.
The biggest problem I was encountering was that most of the hosting packages only allow for 1 or 2 domains, to allow more usually bumped the price higher than I was already paying.
After a solid month hunting for a suitable host it was my fellow clan leader MK who put me onto the hosting company Vidahost. After some analysis of the options and pondering over cups of tea, I took the plunge and started the process of migrating my Welshtroll domain across. Moving to a Cloud based hosting and leaving the comfort of my shared hosting CPanel, was a little nerve-wracking but the Vidahost website is well detailed and doesn’t disappoint when you are looking for information.
Nice touches
One of the services that they offer is free migration of content from your previous host, providing you with a temporary link so that you can check it’s as you expect. In this climate of paying for every single addon, it was nice to see that it was a free service. Additionally they have a Concierge service for new customers which is aimed at ensuring they can find everything they need and if they have any questions.
So there you have it, I’ve currently transferred 3 of my 5 Domains over the next will be in a few weeks when I’ve resolved an email issue on my existing host.
That’s about it for now, but hopefully now i have settled into my new role at work a little more I’ll get more time to blog.
PS oh i forgot to say if you fancied trying out Vidahost you can get 10% off the cost of hosting if you use the code “WelshtrollSentMe” 🙂
