Final Domain Swapped, 100% GoDaddy Free!

Posted on by

So a while back I discussed hosting transfers, talking through what I did while moving to bluehost. As part of that change, I also swapped my domains to bluehost. Well, all of them except one. BLuehost doesn’t do .me domains, and I have vudu.me. I didn’t know that when I started swapping to bluehost. And I didn’t want to swap vudu.me to another registrar because I didn’t want to have to deal with 3 companies. I just realized the error of my thinking. If I swap everything from GoDaddy, I won’t be dealing with them anymore. So, I just decided to try namecheap.com as a registrar for vudu.me. Everything seems to be working perfectly, so I’m now GoDaddy free and loving it! I’ll be reviewing my overall satisfaction with my new companies once I’ve been with them for over a month!

BONUS! – if you stop by namecheap’s homepage, you will see the actively oppose SOPA, which is kind of what started this whole transferring thing rolling. GoDaddy initially supported it.

I just completed my first ever hosting switch from GoDaddy to Bluehost. Aside from a couple of easy to fix errors, it went off without a hitch.

The process is a little time consuming, but it isn’t hard. I’m going to try to recount how I did everything, and hopefully this can help you out!

After 4 years, I decided it was time to try a new host. For a variety of reasons, I had just grown tired of GoDaddy. I’m giving BlueHost a try now. The majority of The Voodoo Empire websites have been moved over, I’m going to wrap up today. It was quite painless to switch actually, I’ll do a writeup very soon describing the process for those of you thinking about switching.

Loading Issues? Error 500

I had some server issues, and at the same time, GoDaddy configured FastCGI on my server. I think it may be affecting things here. Possibly with error 500, etc. If you happen to have any issues like that, It’d be super cool if you let me know so I can turn off FastCGI if that’s the culprit.
