| rmg51 | Morning | 11:12 |
| rmg51 | JonathanD: must still be at the Zoo ;-) | 12:02 |
| JonathanD | Hi rmg51 | 12:08 |
| waltman | rmg51: What, you think JonathanD can't IRC from the zoo? | 12:11 |
| rmg51 | it's possible | 12:25 |
| rmg51 | but he is usually here much earlier | 12:25 |
| rmg51 | that could mean the zookeepers didn't wake him up early enough | 12:26 |
| rmg51 | anyway, time to leave for work :P | 12:26 |
| teddy-dbear | morning | 13:07 |

| Adom|office | hi all | 15:38 |
| InHisName | mornin' | 15:53 |
| Adom|office | so i officially hate GoDaddy. never using them for hosting again. | 16:47 |
| JonathanD | Victory! | 16:47 |
| JonathanD | Adom|office: what did they do this time? | 16:47 |
| Adom|office | just horrible experience trying to migrate a linux WP blog installation to a windows godaddy shared server | 16:48 |
| Adom|office | they have the stupidest things turned on and off to make the process painstakingly difficult | 16:48 |
| JonathanD | To a windows shared server? | 16:48 |
| Adom|office | ya | 16:48 |
| JonathanD | I'm not sure why you would want to do that... | 16:48 |
| Adom|office | orders is orders' | 16:49 |
| JonathanD | But I hate godaddy too. | 16:49 |
| Adom|office | whats your preferred hosting spot? | 16:49 |
| JonathanD | I mostly use linodes. | 16:49 |
| JonathanD | But they are not windows. | 16:49 |
| JonathanD | I also use 1and1 for shared hosting (really for cheap bulk space) | 16:50 |
| Adom|office | thats fine, i prefer linux, but coworkers dont know it so hosting for here is usually done with winblows | 16:50 |
| Adom|office | ive heard 1and1 is nice | 16:50 |
| JonathanD | 1and1 has VPS and dedicated stuff. | 16:50 |
| JonathanD | 1and1 is ok. | 16:50 |
| JonathanD | Not perfect, but ok. | 16:50 |
| JonathanD | We have a windows dedicated server with them, actually. | 16:51 |
| ChinnoDog | woot-off | 16:52 |
| Adom|office | ChinnoDog: you need a vacuum? | 16:53 |
| ChinnoDog | No, just pointing out it is going on | 16:54 |
| JonathanD | home.woot has a inflatable mattress right now | 16:55 |
| JonathanD | also in wootoff | 16:55 |
| Adom|office | ahh | 16:55 |
| JonathanD | Adom|office: you should demo them a linode. | 16:56 |
| JonathanD | are you going to be using wordpress? | 16:56 |
| Adom|office | i just convinced them to switch to linux on GoDaddy rather than Windows, i doubt i could push a host change :( | 16:56 |
| Adom|office | yeah WP for a site we're working on | 16:57 |
| Adom|office | well...a site some grad students want to work on | 16:57 |
| Adom|office | that i have to set up | 16:57 |
| Adom|office | we're updating our alumni site from some older limited web software to a WP install with BuddyPress and some other plugins | 16:59 |
| Adom|office | prettier, easier to interact with, etc | 16:59 |
| Adom|office | im all for it, but the grad students on it aren't nerds at all, and only one has WP experience | 16:59 |
| JonathanD | how much is the godaddy plan? | 17:00 |
| Adom|office | quick side question: is it true that you can host a WP on GoDaddy free economy hosting? | 17:00 |
| Adom|office | um | 17:00 |
| Adom|office | like $5/month | 17:01 |
| JonathanD | I don't know about that. | 17:01 |
| JonathanD | not awful. | 17:02 |
| JonathanD | They're an awful host, though :P | 17:02 |
| Adom|office | right | 17:02 |
| Adom|office | you get what you pay for | 17:02 |
| Adom|office | maybe once i get the GoDaddy linux install up and running nicely, i can demo a linode install | 17:03 |
| JonathanD | I can loan you a linode to demo on. | 17:03 |
| Adom|office | does linode use cpanel or plesk or something? | 17:03 |
| Adom|office | i might take you up on that later | 17:03 |
| JonathanD | linode doesn't use anything. You have a ground-up install. | 17:03 |
| JonathanD | You can put on whatever you want, at that point. | 17:04 |
| Adom|office | ahh, i shee | 17:04 |
| Adom|office | i like that a lot, but higher ups wont | 17:04 |
| Adom|office | they dont like the command line | 17:04 |
| JonathanD | They don't need to see the command line. | 17:04 |
| Adom|office | so id have to install cpanel or something | 17:04 |
| JonathanD | Yeah. | 17:04 |
| Adom|office | id like that for a personal remote box a lot actually | 17:05 |
| JonathanD | I use one for that. | 17:05 |
| JonathanD | for irc and the like. | 17:05 |
| JonathanD | and for development | 17:05 |
| Adom|office | JonathanD: http://www.mariasguides.com/2006/09/18/moving-a-wordpress-blog-to-godaddy-hostingcom-part-1/ | 17:06 |
| Adom|office | scroll down to "If you're using a free hosting credit..." | 17:06 |
| Adom|office | thats why i asked | 17:06 |
| JonathanD | sounds like it adds ads? | 17:06 |
| Adom|office | probably | 17:09 |
| Adom|office | which would be acceptable i guess for a free hosting credit | 17:09 |
| Adom|office | might dabble with it | 17:09 |
| JonathanD | linodes are relatively expensive, compared to cheap hosting. | 17:09 |
| Adom|office | yeah, i probably wouldnt hit a snag with that if i recommended it though, luckily money isnt usually an issue when it comes to new projects | 17:10 |
| Adom|office | especially if the only linux nerd (me) says its what we need | 17:11 |
| JonathanD | Having full control gives you more options later, too. | 17:11 |
| Adom|office | true | 17:11 |
| JonathanD | If you decide, for example, you want a redundant clone somewhere. Easy to do with full access. | 17:11 |
| JonathanD | A real PITA without. | 17:11 |
