Well, finally made the change from GoDaddy to rackspace for hosting and to name.com for DNS service for the usual litany of reasons: poor customer service, difficult account, domain, and site management tools, limited shell control, original support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), sexed up advertising.  Actually, I made the DNS change back in July, and just now am getting around to bringing up the server.

I have to say that I’m very much enjoying the technical aspects of getting dirty at the command line and installing services. It’s been a while.
