Hosting changes for barkingowl.com and presencelabs.com clients

Over the next couple of months we are going to be moving our hosting clients over to spanking new scalable virtual servers from slicehost.com.

As we do that, we are also changing the environment a bit to drop some little used services and update lots of things to make it easier for everybody. Here are some of the changes planned:

• We are moving to a single php code install for wordpress blogs, so we can easily track and keep wordpress updated. This means that you’ll always have the updated version of wordpress available to you, making blog spam catching better, security better, and keeping you at the leading edge of

• We’re moving to Ubuntu as operating system from the existing Debian. That’s a little change really, but makes the latest and best packages available.

• We are making web serving changes to enhance performance and security. You won’t notice anything here, except things will be faster.

More on this closer to the time — I’ll be in touch with you all personally to talk through the migration beforehand.
