IP Migration
Our excellent hosting provider, Simpli.BIZ, has had in the past a few glitches due to the fault of AboveNet, their upstream provider. Yesterday, I finally bit the bullet and migrated all our “hosts”1 to the new IP range owned by Simpli. It wasn’t as smooth a migration as I’d hoped, but the Simpli team was very helpful and attentive. Knowing how much I suck at system administration, Erica had already arranged for KVM attached to my console so even though I managed to lock myself out, I could still do everything through the console.
The old IPs are still available, but I’ve already updated some DNS records to point at the new IPs. The old IPs still work via PF redirection rules.
Simpli must be the most personal commercial hosting provider out there, it’s nice to have your web hosting support person (in this case it happens to always be Erica the founder) to be on IM and maintains a blog. What more can you ask for?
1 I said “hosts” because while I only rented a measly Celeron from them for USD99/month, I have 3 FreeBSD jails running.
