Well.. I finally did it. I have been freeloading off my good friend Stephan Geyer for the last year. He has been overly generous allowing me free hosting for all of my releases including Samui 1.0 and Alluvium Magnite 1.0. But With the launch of my new site I decided that it was time to stop freeloading and start something of my own. So after a bit of searching, a lot of time spent in the wordpress codex to find the right method of moving my site and a new hosting package purchased from Bluehost, I now have my site up and running on its true domain! It really wasn’t too much work afterall. The biggest problem was that I stupidly didn’t read through all the wordpress documentation for moving a wordpress install which led to several failed attempts at completing the move. Bluehost provides a service called fantastico which is a one stop shop for installing many web services including wordpress. So after using fantastico to create a new wordpress install all it took was some editing of the MySql databases and the site was good to go. It all seems to be working now so go on and enjoy your stay.
