Happily with the Squid

The DNS transfer seems complete (if you’re reading this, you’re looking at the site on the new host). I have re-enabled comments.

The transition went super-smooth, and I’m really happy with my new host so far. I decided to move to Laughing Squid Web Hosting, which provide affordable cloud hosting services on Rackspace clustered servers, more reliable and scalable than traditional hosting on stand-alone servers.

Laughing Squid is also (or, should I say, primarily) a long-standing online community: in the words of its founder, Scott Beale, an online resource for art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond that has been around since the pre-Google era. You’ve probably seen their über-famous logo about a million times. Their mission is:

[...] promoting art, culture and technology, with a focus on the San Francisco Bay Area. A secondary goal of ours is to help connect the art community with the tech community, by letting artists know what tools and resources are available to promote their work and in turn get the geeks out from behind their computer and experience more art.

The Laughing Squid have been actively supporting and promoting local events in the SF Bay Area through their Squid List for more than 10 years now.

I think The Laughing Squid is one of those things that make the Internet a nice place, and I’m so happy to host my blog with them that I decided to make this post and give them a site-wide “powered by Laughing Squid” link from my footer. :)

Hey, thank you for spamming my blog from IP address 120.56.128.15 with a totally irrelevant comment and a link to webinfosoftech dot com! That’s how you do link building in India, yes? I edited your original username into something more suitable for your company. I’m sure your prospects will appreciate.
