After more than 3 months of being out of commission, I have finally got my blog back up and running! My domain name had expired. I had it grouped in with all of the domains we own under the NFi Studios account at Host Department. What a piece of junk for a domain company. Repeatedly, we have had domains expire even though they were set to auto-renew. They have also had the worst customer service and reliability. We have since moved all of our domains to GoDaddy.

Host Department was less than cooperative with moving derekgallo.com though, go figure. Every time I tried to initiate the transfer to GoDaddy, it would never work and they could never give a reason why. Anyway, I finally have it back in my control and back up and running.

I am up and running on my new SliceHost server. I have just started with them but so far so good. Bringing a slice online is quick and extremely simple. They offer a wide variety of slice “sizes” so you don’t have to spend more than is necessary. Their prices are great too. I got a slice large enough to run this blog at a price only a little higher than a shared hosting environment BUT I have complete control of my server Now its time to upgrade to Wordpres 2.7 and maybe get a new theme, ahem Derek Bender.
