I’ve finally moved tomybeat.com to Webfaction after a few days of consideration. I’ve been at Dreamhost for quite some time now. I’m also still paid up at Dreamhost until November next year, so I’ll be leaving one of my other websites there for the moment until I can get it migrated off WordPress and onto EE. I’ll probably also keep hosting my domains there as Webfaction currently doesn’t provide domain hosting.

Already, I’ve seen noticed that the site loads a bit quicker. The domain resolution went through almost instantly. Setting up custom DNS records for Google apps was also a breeze. Since getting my login information, I’ve setup Trac and Subversion, and imported the Jupiter Reports source from assembla onto my account here. Compared to setting up Trac/SVN on Dreamhost, this was amazingly painless. I kept looking for hidden gotchas, but between the screencast, the forum and the KB, I had absolutely no problems setting up Trac/SVN on Webfaction. To think, I used to spend nearly 4 hours setting this up on Dreamhost in the past.

I’ve also been looking at Django more closely recently. I know I said I’d migrate it off to EE in the past, but my requirements for this site aren’t much (basic blogging and tumblelogging), so I might have a go at turning it into a Django powered blog.
