Bing Bang Migration

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Eventually, I’ve migrated

  • from Windows XP to Mac OS X Leopard. I haven’t used a mac since 1992 (the good old days with e.g. Macintosh Classic). I’m really positively surprised by the user experience. It’s often “wow” in comparison to Windows.
  • my domains from candan.eu to united-domains.de (a smooth process – thanks to my former and new domain hosting company)
  • my webspace from candan.eu to metanet.ch. This Swiss company offers a very attractive packaged price – 9 GB webspace, unlimited traffic and databases for about 5 EUR per month. Not the kind of limitations which I encountered with candan and other German webspace hosting companies. The questions which arised during the migration were answered quickly. So, I don’t mind to recommend their services. Please mention my mediator # 905101 in case you transfer your webspace, too ;-)
  • the blogging software from MovableType 3.33 to Wordpress 2.7.1

I’m happy to  focus again on content, to discover new people and to say bye-bye to technological & contractual issues. Nevertheless, I’ll publish some lessons learned in one of the upcoming posts.
