WordPress upgrade and site hosting
2 comments January 18th, 2007
Just updated to WordPress 2.0.7, a couple of security fixes and the like. Apparently version 2.1 is due out soon. Looking forward to that. WordPress (which, for anyone wondering, is the software that powers this blog) is a great piece of kit. It’s powerful yet very easy to use. Setting it up was pretty straightforward, upgrades are a breeze and I’ve never had any problems with it. Plus it works pretty nicely with Google too for those all important search rankings.
The site seemed to go down for a while last night but that must have been linked to the hosting. The hosting has always been excellent though, that’s the first time I’ve ever noticed a problem. It’s hosted in the US though and recently I’ve been thinking it would be better hosted here in Ireland. Seeing as I don’t have a .ie domain it would help with Google’s Irish search rankings to have it physically hosted in Ireland.
Hosting365 are the main Irish Hosting company I’m aware of but recently there’s been a lot of discussion/argument by some of the top Irish bloggers about the quality of Irish hosting services and in particular their customer service so I reckon I’ll hold off on this for a while until I can establish what’s what.
