Whilst it occasionally hurts me to say that I am considering a change from Linux to Windows, on this occasion I feel I have to. My ears (from all the stuff I have heard) have been in pain with this decision and I've been loosing sleep thinking about what is good about this idea.
In the next few months or weeks, or maybe even days, this website will undergo a massive change. I will no longer be hosting on a Linux server but on a Windows server. This change comes at a time when my site is at it's best and I don't want to lose it.
After a presentation today, and my inner .NET development skills crying out to me, I have decided to change to a host that provides PHP so my site stays the same and MySQL so my database can be transferred directly, that also provides ASP.NET and MSSQL.
Whilst I have nothing massive to hold against Windows (I do after all develop my software for Windows), I have been very happy with Linux. However, this change is necessary if I want to improve ASP.NET and I can promise that there will be more interesting things to come from it also. I also cannot stand the disorganised mess that my single database provided by my current host provides is.
As I say, this will likely come sometime soon, so if I can I'd like to keep this domain and keep on going with it. I hope in the next few weeks I will have made the change successfully.
