Site Moved, Again

Moving! Oz Bargain Blog started its life almost 2 and half years ago, and has been on the domain, OzBargainBlog.com, since April 2006. At the beginning it was hosted on my home server off my ADSL connection, moved to off-shore budget hosting as the hard disk of my home server crashed, moved back to a Sydney server with Jumba in April 2006, and then moved to a Sydney VPS November last year, just before we launched OzBargain.com.au. So much moving around over the last 2 1/2 years!

… and we have just moved again!

First of all, it is the URL — we have moved off its own domain to a sub-domain of OzBargain.com.au — Blog.OzBargain.com.au.

That pretty much says how much this blog has transformed since OzBargain launched last November. I no longer report the latest bargains that I found here. Instead, all the actions are happening at OzBargain, and I am merely summarising them here once or twice a week. I also blog more about the progress of OzBargain, which has become my main focus. It is also confusing about the relationship between these two sites. So well, it makes sense to make this blog a sub-domain instead.

I am also moving the hosting to overseas again — this time to a new VPS in Portland, Oregon. My Sydney VPS feels like running out of steam due to increasing traffic. Actually there is still plenty of CPU time but my traffic level goes way up. I am still hoping to host my main site in Sydney so most my visitors can get fast response. Instead of throwing more money to pay for the expensive bandwidth in Australia, I am now moving this site overseas, as blogs are not that interactive anyway.

Okay. That’s the update this week. Have a good weekend everyone!
