finally on new WPP

Earlier today I asked Dave VIII in Nova Scotia to switch the nameservers for the RASC Toronto Centre web site to those of HostPapa. Of course, the change started to ripple through the DNS system a couple of hours later.

I was thrilled to see our web site appear. Actually, the version from about 1 month ago, when Gilles transferred a tarball to the new Web Presence Provider, showed in my browser. That was the tell-tale I was looking for—the site to revert to an old state.

Some of the logo images weren't loading so I directly hacked the index file. I was so happy to see that the menu links worked! It was clear that the site was going to function in its new home!

I still have some work to do. But it's essentially working.

I took a backup of a database from the old server.

We can finally rid ourselves of Georgian.net, an utterly incompetent, backwards, cash-strapped, unreliable, antiquated, unstable host. If I could sue the unprofessional Collingwood organisation I would. It is amazing to me that this unethical provider could still operate in this day and age with such horrible down-time statistics. They clearly cannot affort a UPS. It is asinine, screwed-up, opaque, dishonest companies like this that make one demand service-level agreements.
