We finally got FTP access last night and were able to move The Math Worksheet Site to a new hosting company. This new server is very fast! I’m thrilled!

We still have a few details to wrap up, and probably much to learn about running our own virtual private server (VPS). But at least we’re more in control and not as dependent on other people. Afer our recent frustrations, this is really appealing.

Domain Name System servers are still propagating our new IP address. A few people are still accessing the site at the old location. Those who try to subscribe and run into an error that says, “Can’t locate Email/Valid.pm in @INC” are looking at the old location. By 10 pm Mountain Time Friday night, everyone should be accessing The Math Worksheet Site at its new location, and everything is fully functional there.

(Of course, since I’m connected to the updated site right now, the people who are getting that error aren’t going to be seeing this message for a day or two!)

I feel like we should have an open house, put up party decorations, and lay out trays of food, but that’s perhaps kinda silly for a web site. I really feel like we’re in a new HOME.

Thanks for rejoicing with me!
