Tackling a Big Project: The Final Chapter

This big move to a dedicated server is now complete.

And I would like to give an unpaid, hearty endorsement to my new hosting company, jtlnet.com, at this point.

I didn't hear anything for two days after ordering my dedicated server. That made me nervous.

That was the last "negative" experience that i had with them. It's all been very positive since then.

I would rate my technical ability when it comes to Linux web server management at about a 7.5 on a scale of 10. I can tweak conf files, but not without help from others who post their own conf files online. I know my way around chmod's and chown's, and am able to add/remove/update software from the command line.

But I am far from ponytail stage.

That's why my ringing endorsement of jtlnet is now presented for the world to see: their unbelievable technical support.

Here's why I love it:

I submitted seven online tickets during the move. These ranged from simple "how-to's" to requesting an upgrade from MySQL 4 to 5.

EVERY ticket received a response (and not an auto-responder) within five minutes. And every issue was handled in very short order, the MySQL upgrade taking less than fifteen minutes.

That's amazing.

So if you are looking for a dedicated Linux server at the best price with the best service to back it up, give jtlnet.com a try.

And no, I'm not getting any affiliate fees of such. I just know that there are other webmasters out there who are looking for what I found.
