Comments on: The move from WordPress.com to WordPress.org and self-hosting http://hummingbird604.com/2008/06/25/the-move-from-wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-and-self-hosting/ The personal blog of a Vancouver-based educator in environmental issues Wed, 23 May 2012 11:56:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Tyler Ingram http://hummingbird604.com/2008/06/25/the-move-from-wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-and-self-hosting/comment-page-1/#comment-1336 Tyler Ingram Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:31:54 +0000 http://hummingbird604.wordpress.com/?p=1037#comment-1336 I've been using BlueFur's Mini Unix Package (with a 15% discount code I pay $5.91/month) You can talk to Gary to find out more info though. I have access to my own webservers here at work but with me looking for work else where I decided to move my blog to its own web host where it sits on a virtual host server. My blog previously was all custom coded by me and i thought that since I was just rescripting all aspects of a WordPress blog that I might as well convert to WordPress. So I did, and then I moved to BlueFur and havn't had any issues with them, it was quick and easy to set up and then I moved over my exported WordPress file (XML that stores posts, comments etc) and it was fairly easy. Only thing I had to do was create my own WordPress theme because I never had one and I wanted to keep the look of my previous site. Whereas you I believe will be able to keep your current WordPress them and just move it over and then modify it to your liking. Self-hosting I find gives your site a more personal feeling. It's yours and no one else's! I’ve been using BlueFur’s Mini Unix Package (with a 15% discount code I pay $5.91/month) You can talk to Gary to find out more info though.

I've been with them since 1999. I've been swayed by other companies with cheaper deals, but I alwlays go back to them - even after that heinous billing snafu from earlier this year. If you decide to use them, tell them I sent you (ceekay) Dreamhost. I’ve been with them since 1999.

I was scared at first myself when I made the plung from WP.com to WP.org and self hosting. I still consider my move "light" as you call it, but I think it is way better for what I would like it to be. ahhhh ok I got all excited by reading the headline.
