Orcmid's Lair Disruption

I’m consolidating all of the nfoCentrale web sites (this is one of them) on a single web hosting account at A2 Hosting.  I have already moved most of my sites to that account, with only minor breakage around Apache case sensitivity.  Sites that have blogs or that have e-mail accounts are trickier to move and I have saved those for last.   Today is moving day for orcmid.com and the Orcmid’s Lair blog.

{tags: orcmid A2 Hosting nfoCentrale web hosting Apache system incoherence confirmable experience}

What this means for the readers of this and associated blogs is that the best reception will be found at URLs like http://orcmid.com/blog and not http://nfocentrale.net/orcmid/blog.  In fact, the second URL and the site feed at the same location will be not see more blog updates for several weeks.   

The Orcmid’s Lair blog and feed at http://orcmid.com/blog will see little or no interruption.  There may be some breakage, with templates, links, images, and archive pages possibly having problems until the construction crew can straighten things out.  In the long run, it will all become much nicer.

The long-term benefit is that URLs like http://orcmid.com will not forward to a different URL.  Instead, all nfoCentrale sites will have full-size, grown-up, first-class, independent domains with sites to match.   Now bookmarks made to pages found through orcmid.com follow the site wherever it may happen to be hosted in the future.

OK, everyone, cross your fingers.
