It’s time to take the plunge and switch hosting providers. 1and1 sucks, and I’ve been thinking of moving for a long time, but it takes a non-zero amount of time and effort to do this, and I’ve not had any to spare for awhile.

However, I found out recently that a friend of my wife works for a small, local-ish hosting provider called A Small Orange. THe prices are right, the packages are right (cPanel, which I’ve administered at work) and the price is good as well, starting at $25/year. Considering that I’m spending about $10/month with 1and1 for the hosting… yeah, this isn’t a hard decision. I’m going to pull yet another DNS registration, pull out the credit card, and start this.
