End of an era
I haven't paid a dime for denovich.org's hosting over the last, wow, 10 years I've had the domain. Hell, I didn't even pay for the first server that drove the site the first 7 years... I inhiereted a friend's 486 66Mhz with VESA Localbus SCSI & EISA 10Mbit ethernet (old sk00l!). A few years ago, I sunk a paltry $250 into a replacement system. The hosting was free thanks to having friends willing to let it whir away in their offices, and willing to occassionally deal with me when it stopped. However after many thankless years, my last host is moving on to greener pastures, and so shall denovich.org
It will be weird not having full control of the server... but that will be more than made up for by not having to worry about the damn thing. Backups, power, security upgrades, I'm happy to make that someone else's problem. I'm planning on using TextDrive for my hosting. They seem to have their shit together, they support all the stuff I want to use, and just as importantly the price is right. Cheap enough I probably should have thought of this sooner.
Now, the trick will be pulling this off without fucking too much up in the process.
