Testing Out Our New Digs

laughing_squid_logo_mainAs has been mentioned on our podcasts recently, we’ve switched to a new web hosting service, Laughing Squid.

To celebrate, and to test our how robust their “cloud hosting” is, we’ve asked a bunch of our popular Twitter friends to have their followers come visit our site all at once at 3 pm (EST). If you’re seeing this post, then we’re still up and running, and hooray for our side.

If not, then some servers in DFW somewhere are smoking and/or on fire.

Thanks, everyone!

    For some reason, cloud hosting sounds like the equivalent of the web Sham-WOW

    Congrats on your move to Laughing Squid. They crush everything! (Yes, I’m reusing a joke I posted to facebook! I’m not witty enough to come up with two jokes. You got a problem with that?)

    I see a website. A little slow, a little stunned-looking, apt to startle at loud noises but definitely there.

    Cloud hosting is a joke, it looks cheaper than having a dedicated server but you quickly find that is costing you more, and you do not have control over the apps installed on the server like you do with a dedicated server.
