Moved!

Just writing to let you know that I’ve switched servers for this blog! I’ve been meaning to get this on to a faster server that I have control over for awhile, and I finally got around to doing it.

For those of you who are curious, this site is being served by WordPress Multisite, on a Sakura 2G VPS.

And because everyone likes talking about stacks:

Stack.

Kidding.

That’s it! There is some moderate caching in most layers (WordPress Object Cache, APC, NGINX, etc), but nothing too drastic. It’s much faster now than it was on the previous server – we’ll see how this one holds up.

Thoughts during the Migration Process

MariaDB

I can’t say this enough – really, really, really smooth. Just stop mysql, remove, install MariaDB, then start it up again. All my data was migrated automatically.

NGINX + PHP + WordPress

There were a ton of guides for this kind of setup, but the two that most helped me were the WordPress Codex and rtCamp’s excellent WordPress + Nginx tutorials. Reading through both is highly recommended.
