Website Migration to HostGator!

After some serious contemplation, and a comparison “study” of a handful of different paid web hosts, I’ve decided to move my website (and blog) away from the free Blogger platform and back to WordPress, hosted on my own paid host. I’ve selected HostGator.com as my host of choice for several reasons:

  • Lowest promotional ($2.63/mo) and standard ($6.95/mo) rates
  • One-click WordPress installation
  • Unmetered bandwidth and storage
  • Unlimited subdomains and email accounts

There are loads of new features that I’m excited to try out. But before I can do that, I’ll need to port all my content over to the new platform. Getting the text content from Blogger into WordPress was easy enough. But not all pictures transferred over seamlessly, and some paragraph formatting has been messed up. It’ll take some manual correction to fix everything. In the meantime, let me know what you think and if you find any problems! Shoot me an email at my new email address: alex@alexrichardford.com
