UNB is moving, well, not really, it will still be at the same address, and the podcasts will be where they always have been, but I am moving hosting. I have had the same host for 17 years of the 18 years of UNB. I have been debating moving in the past and have had some major issues, but I ran out of space and had to upgrade to a $ 84-a-month plan, which is a lot. While researching, I found a better dedicated WordPress hosting provider that fits my needs.
I won’t go into the details of how this process started off, ugh, but I have officially paid and started the process to move the site. You may be asking why I hired someone. Well, that’s because the site has grown massively over almost 18 years. The database is larger than most services will import, and the files are in the 100,000’s. It’s just easier to do this than cause me frustration. When I tried to move a few months ago, none of the migration plug-ins worked, and it caused more issues than they solved.
Here’s what to expect during the hosting migration:
- The site may be offline for a short period of time. This could be for the DNS to update.
- Podcasts may not be available; again, this should be for a short time.
- I may post frustrating messages on Bluesky. Which will be the case.
- Hosting will drop from $84 to $34 per month—a huge savings.
So if you notice anything wonky, just hang on, it should take a few days to do and get updated!!!!
Thanks, guys.
