Hosting

Working on the principal that life is far too short to waste time administering a dedicated server, I've begun moving the couple of web sites I still run — Bounded by Infinity and Just About Managing — over to SquareSpace. While I'll lose a lot of the flexibility of the VPS I currently use, I won't have to worry about keeping the software stack up to date. I'll also get a few extras — like analytics, which I've never got round to setting up — into the bargin. It should even work out a little bit cheaper. Selling SimCap through the Mac App Store has meant that I no longer need to run my own system to dole out licence keys, which had been my mine reason for sticking with self-hosting. And if I ever find myself needing to do anything webapp-ish there's always Google App Engine.
