So I am now with Hostgator instead of Powweb, and so far I am pretty impressed. Yesterday, I thought the site had slowed down again (like it always did at Powweb), but then I did a traceroute and found out that it was my ISP that was timing out, not Hostgator. So I have three domains hosted on one account, and they all seem pretty speedy. At Powweb I had to do some .htaccess magic to make multiple domains work, and they never worked quite right. At Hostgator they have a beautiful little tool that does it all for you (with the $9\/month package), and it works flawlessly. Of course, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll have complaints at some point, but right now I&#8217;m really impressed. Oh yeah &#8211; those three domains are <a href=\"http:\/\/joelkoop.com\/updates\">joelkoop.com\/updates<\/a>, where you are now, <a href=\"http:\/\/joelkoop.com\">JoelKoop.com<\/a>, a photography portfolio site I&#8217;m working on, and <a href=\"http:\/\/travelsandtrails.com\">TravelsAndTrails.com<\/a>, a very unfinished travel site where a person can look up places they might be interested in going or add places they&#8217;ve been to. This one is going to change significantly, so it might be unrecognizable in a couple months.<\/p>\n<p>The control panel at Hostgator is not as flashy, but more powerful and easier to use than Powweb&#8217;s. Although &#8220;easier to use&#8221; doesn&#8217;t mean &#8220;easy to use&#8221;. Someone, at some point in time, needs to do usability testing on these control panels and get a designer to create them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just recently changed hosting providers, and with all the messing around with databases and ftp, decided to upgrade wordpress right away.
