The move to Dreamhost is complete. Well…almost complete to be fair. The domain needs to be transferred, I need to cancel my old hosting, I need to … more technical boring stuff.
The most tricky part is behind me though. The words I write now are written on a back-end hosted at Dreamhost. And when you visit my blog online, the bits and bytes served to you originate from Dreamhost. Pretty ironic actually: my address is the same, but the physical location of my blog has changed by thousands of kilometers.
I’ll be doing more checks the coming days, and some tweaking alongside. If you notice anything that doesn’t work as expected, please visit the Contact page and let me know!

Hey Lodewijk,
This is funny. I never realized this was you. I’ve been here several times, and commented once on the coffee post, if I remember right.
Your site looks fantastic. I aspire to have a site that looks this good one day. I’ll bookmark this now.

@Michael@ Awareness * Connection – Isn’t it amazing to notice how small the blogging world actually is, considering the vast amount of blogs that are out there?
We’ll be talking on twitter, but I’m glad to see you back again.
I’m here with my virtual blogwarming gift. Welcome to your new home, the place looks great!

Congratulations. Dreamhost is a great company.
What type of plan did you choose? Shared, VPS, Dedicated?
Welcome to your new home.I just moved my blog from free wordpress to a new site designed by the Pen Men. So I am going through changes too. Even with their wonderful help, it is still a lot of work and a big learning curve! Good luck with all of the work, hope you can get back to the fun of focusing on just writing soon!

@Dave – So far so good. I hope to crash their servers one day, due to overload of traffic
hehe
@DanGTD – Shared hosting for now, so there’s plenty of room to grow.
@Wendi – That’s a good move to make Wendi. Welcome to the world of self-hosted WordPress. The Pen Men are a great team to have when you make that step for the first time.
