Back in Action
This is Small Potato welcoming you back to Wpdesigner. If you didn’t notice, this blog was down for two days due to server migration. Short story, Wpdesigner is now on its own dedicated server.
The new set up didn’t come without a price, $100/month for hosting with HiVelocity.net and $30/month for server management with PlatinumServerManagement.com. Although I’m a do-it-yourselfer, I quickly found out that I couldn’t depend on myself nor my host to manage the server, hence the $30 fee for server management.
I signed up to PSM today, not yesterday; they opened my account and fixed my problems on the same day.
So far, I submitted one ticket to Platinum Server Management and they solved it within ten minutes. Thanks to PSM, I’m able to write this right now. I’m very impressed by their service. The fee is well worth it. If you’re not a tech-savvy person like I am, save yourself the headaches; let PSM manage it for you.
(Please let know if you like this dedicated server setup. Is the site faster now? Is Wpdesigner blocked at the office?)
Other than that, I’m just happy knowing my blog is back up. Right now is almost 1:30 AM. I’m going to sleep.

Welcome back:) I notice it was down a few hours ago, but I knew what was going on…Seem a little faster on my end.
Wpdesigner is not faster then before. it seems run at same speed. But now Wpdesigner is unblocked at the office.
however well done, it run perfectly. Good work sp
Glad to see you back up, i came to use one of your tutorials the other day and i couldnt get on the site! ARGH, luckily i have the rss feed on my PC! keep it up!
I suffered withdrawals. . . I went to read a close up on an article yesterday off rss and found you off-line.
Very traumatic. .. please try to never do it again. . .

BTW:
Thanks for your hard work! I am very happy to use your templates on both of my WordPress sites!
Welcome back SP.
Congratulation for you new server. I’m also going to move my sites to a Dedicated Server. And many thanks for your very useful posts.
Congrats! I was out of town on a business trip so I didn’t miss out too much lol.
I’m at the office and *thankgoodness* your site is not blocked.
Good to have ya back!
Good to be back! The past two days have been very… frustrating.
Good that you’re back! I didn’t notice you were gone because I just found your site! But it looks good so far, about to browse through the themes.
Nice to have you back, I suffered withdrawals even for that relatively short period of down time
[...] WPdesigner has just recently also moved servers I got to know. I thought so, because there was a two-day downtime. I hope I can avoid that. [...]
Great to see you are up and running again.
It does seem a little faster, but that could just be due to the fact that you said something about it.
Great, SP.
I’ve only recently found your site and I’m busy working through theme tutorials. I had a bunch of them stored in my browser when I found your site was off line.
I’ve been afraid to turn off my laptop for the past few days, just to make sure I could keep going through the fine tutorials.
Best of luck with your new setup!
Nice to be back SP! Guess what? I was able to access your website now in my office. Isn’t that great? I don’t need a proxy site anymore. Yey!
That’s great! But hey, get back to work…
Congratulation for you new server, now is very fast!
