Switching hosts
I have always wanted to have my own host, so I've decided to do something about it. You are now viewing my site hosted at Dreamhost.
Throughout my reading on the web, Dreamhost has popped up numerous times as a recommended server, so I thought I would give them a try. Despite their popularity, there are also a few worrying articles lying around a mandatory "product name sucks" Google search, but I've decided to let my own experiences guide me.
So far, support has been quick, and everything seems to be good. It does however seem a little slower to get going than Hostgator (my old host), having to allocate a subdomain of dreamhosters.com before I can view my site before a domain has the nameserver record. Hostgator allowed a /~username style viewing, which was available as soon as the account was setup.
It's far too early to give any recommendations on Dreamhost, but once I've settled in, I'll write a more thorough report of my experiences.

Zero complaint so far. :D
