Websites Transferred

I just wanted to make note that I trans­ferred this web­site, LunarStu­dio, and another blog over to Medi­aTem­ple over the course of the last two days. There’s been a sig­nif­i­cant increase in per­for­mance and speed — I think over 300% in the case of LunarStu­dio. It’s a bit of a nail-biting expe­ri­ence when it comes to trans­fer­ring data­bases, but thank­fully Medi­aTem­ple was there with their excel­lent phone sup­port to help walk me through some of their systems.

I did encounter one issue with Lunarlog’s data­base import and the rel­a­tively new phe­nom­e­nal plu­gin called W3 Total Cache as it keeps spit­ting out errors and wants to point to a now defunct direc­tory on the old server. I’m hop­ing in time that Fred­er­ick Townes, the CTO of Mash­able and W3TC author can help me pin­point where this incor­rect query is get­ting pulled from. He seems very help­ful (and obvi­ously knowl­edge­able.) Keep in mind, this is no fault of w3TC but rather the import/export of my older data­base. In the mean­time, I’ve man­aged to get around W3TC by enabling a few other WP plu­g­ins in its place.

I’ll be sure write more about speed­ing up your web­site and Word­Press when I have more time later.

P.S. — Please let me know if you encounter any issues with this site due to the move (or oth­er­wise.) Thanks!
