On many of the sites I manage I also use Google Apps (I just point MX entries to Google servers) and I have my @website.ext email addresses but i don't have to worry about configuration and other things

So does this host have a name so we can all remember to maybe avoid them :whistle: :eheh:

The old host is CyberPixels.

Thanks I don't know them but it is always handy to know who to stay away from

*nods* What sucks is that they used to be so good.

That does suck especially when you have all your stuff sorted out with them. The one host that really sucked for me was 1&1 http://order.1and1.com/

Well, the webhost I moved pretty trivially to my existing VPS (which was fine since that old webhost had almost zero traffic) but the fun was moving all my mail, which is now with FastMail.fm.

The email address is always the biggest issue as you need to advise people of the new one and you always seem to miss some of those importing ones :whistle:

I don't have to advise anyone of anything; I kept the same email address I've had for most of a decade (perks of owning your own domain and so on)
But I did miss a folder during import. It's not a huge deal since I do have said folder on my local computer, it's just whether I can be bothered farting around resetting up the IMAP stuff in order for me to redownload it and reupload it to the new service.
(I have learned more about how email works in the last few days than I've had to know in years. It's one of the few systems that amazes me that it actually works at all.)

Fastmail is the one owned by Opera. Right? ;)

But it is totally good with Opera at the helm too.

Too bad it's not free, though...
I mean, 25MB isn't exactly much. I've been on gmail only for a couple of years, and I already have at least 500MB of e-mails on it. I switched to gmail precisely so I wouldn't have to delete all of my e-mails as they're read and answered, especially the ones with attachments...
