And I was kidding at being offended by the word “evicted.” That’s what they did.

The secret, EP Barbie, is that the site migration is moving along. When I decided to blog exclusively through The Blog Peoria Network, I put too much strain on the resources of what turns out to be a relatively underpowered server.

And one of the reasons I have “issues” is that I keep trying news things — new themes, new plugins, new software — because by trying them, I can learn new things and perhaps improve the blog.

I have a looooong list of new things I’m going to try once I’m on a stable server.

Thanks for your concern and thanks for the input. If you have any concerns, call me or send me an email.

Why does Billy have so many problems with his hosts? This site never goes down – the Antipundit survives even as he keeps quitting (and thankfully coming back!) Is there something more to this story???

I meant no offense. Sorry.

“They suspended the Blog Peoria account and suggested I would be happier elsewhere.”

Sounds like an eviction to me. I’m not siding with the hosting company in any way. They have certainly proven themselves to be unreliable, but then blame Billy for the problems. Sounds kind of like Comcast, actually. I’m glad Billy will be moving to a better hosting service.

CJ, nice to see your gentler, more compassionate side.

Evicted?

That’s the word you used?

Hrmph!

I prefer to think of it as having come to a mutual understanding.

And it’s not just Peoria Pundit, it’s all Blog Peoria Network blogs that are affected.
