Tackling a Big Project - Part 2

I received instructions for logging into my dedicated server on Friday afternoon about 3:00 local time. It is now Sunday, 10:20 AM and I am pretty much done.

Total; time spent moving stuff: about 15 hours.

I am receiving help generating a SSL certificate now. Once I set up a secure website, this project will be complete.

My overall impression of JTLNet throughout the ordeal: very positive.

I used Plesk as a web admin tool with bluehill.com. It was robust enough. My new host uses SiteDSM. It's different, better in some ways. For instance, it allows the creation of .htaccess files with usernames and passwords or ip address blocking. However, it's difficult to edit any accounts you have created. The interface can be quite funky.

But I have a fairly hot dedicated server for $99 a month! I have used yum from the command line to add software.

Overall, an unbeatable deal for technically savvy webmasters.
