I also am trialing my web site back on a Windows server (previously it was on Linux).  I’m doing this to consolidate web hosts, and hosting on Windows gives me most stuff on Linux as well as ASP.NET.  I generally prefer Linux hosting when .NET isn’t needed, however, this will save me time and money.

There will be bugs with the new setup, but I’ll take care of them as I see them.  I see my Flickr feed isn’t updating, which is probably a permission issue (curse Windows permissions!).  I’ll work on that.

My previous web hosting provider decided to take down the server I was on without notice, losing much of my data (as you can see, I lost my blog entries since February). I have since found a new web host. I have made a dramatic change from past hosts – I’m now hosting on Windows 2003. Even thought I’m a Linux geek, most Windows hosts give you everying the Linux hosts do (minus IMAP), plus you get ASP, ASP.NET, and Microsoft SQL Server. My new host even supports ColdFusion and Java Servlets. It’s going to be a long road ahead…
