After working for so long moving hosted services, I think it must have entered the bloodstream. I catch myself thinking about it regularly, and I need an outlet. Hopefully this will be a helpful blog for others as I post about migrating hosted web sites, email, databases, DNS, and etc.
A little about me: I worked for Verio as a member of the migration team for almost ten years as a technician, then as a developer, then as the lead developer, and then as the manager. While I was on the team, I helped architect and build a next-generation migration system capable of moving thousands of hosted customer accounts per day (including web sites, email, DNS, scripts, and databases); and we moved over 1.2 million unique domain names through that migration system over these past years. These are good times. Hosting accounts get better and better, and hopefully this site will help build the roads folks need to travel from their old-and-busted hosting accounts to sleek new ones. Happy migrating!
