To a new web host that is. I’ve been with the same hosting company ever since I first moved to self-hosted WordPress back in 2008, but it’s finally time to find something that’s more reliable. I think I’ve found a good fit and they’re in the process of migrating everything over from the previous host to the new one. But, due to the technical issues that have been occurring lately on both of my sites (the main reason for the switch), the migration is taking longer than expected.

I’m hoping that there should be little to no disruption to this site – beyond the php time-out errors that you may have already been seeing. Once the migration is complete in a day or so, those should be gone for good, and I’m confident that we’ll be back on track with my being able to post regularly again here – and with your being able to get here to read and comment. 

There is one other thing, that I brought up in a brief post that I managed to squeeze through the time-out errors over at JAMTOT today… Over the past several months it’s become increasingly difficult for me to keep up with regular posting on both of my sites – and still give my family the time and attention that they deserve. I’ve been exploring the idea of combining the sites back into one – likely over at momstakeonthings.com. That would mean one site for both personal types of posts that you see here regularly, as well as the reviews and giveaways that I post over there. I know that some of you come here only for the personal stuff – and I have an idea how you could continue to receive only that type of content if I do move everything over to JAMTOT. If I end up going that route, I’ll set up a category feed that Mom of 3 Girls readers could subscribe to if you want, that would only publish the personal posts.

I’m still not sure what I will end up doing – I’ve been blogging here for almost 3 years now and I’m hesitant to just simply stop. It may be that I will come up with a more specific focus for this site and keep posting, but still move most of the ‘regular’ stories and photos over there. For now everything will stay just as it is, while I take some time to think. If any changes are made, I’ll plan on rolling them out in May, to coincide with my 3rd blogging anniversary here and my 2nd over at JAMTOT. Kind of cool how both blogoversaries ended up in the same month, huh!

If you have any thoughts as to what you’d like to see – either here and/or over at momstakeonthings.com, please feel free to leave me a comment either here or on my post over there. I truly value the community that I’ve found here and want to make sure that I don’t lose any loyal readers if I do make any changes.

So please pardon the dust as this site migrates to its new home – hopefully you won’t see any differences on the front end at all. I have lots to update you on afterward – including our weekend visiting my friend Mary, her daughter’s birthday party, and the spring-like weather we’ve had here so far this week. See you on the other side! 

UPDATE: As of last Friday night (3/12), the site is migrated over to its new home and everything seems to be running smoothly. And incredibly quickly – I’m already amazed at how fast it’s loading and responding. I should’ve switched hosts long ago. Thank you to WiredKey for such a smooth transition! With the timeout errors being experienced on the other server, it wasn’t an easy (or quick) process for them. So far I’m extremely happy with the customer service and can’t wait to get my other site moved over soon too.
