Final Domain Swapped, 100% GoDaddy Free!

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.

My URL shortening service, VUDU.ME just got itself a fancy new facelift. It’s nothing too special, but I had a few extra minutes, and thought it would look nice if the site fit everything else around the empire. So matching perfectly with VoodooPress, and fitting in pretty well with my blog too, it’s done….. for now. I’m sure I’ll want to tinker with it later. Check it out, let me know what you think!

I’ve had a URL shortener set up for a while. it was go.rvoodoo.com. Not the best starting point for a URL shortener. So I decided to start over. No worries, I have a bunch of URLs all over the web using the old method, those will stay in effect. I’ll keep the old service in effect for now, I may eventually just use some redirects for it, but either way the URLs will be good. Anyway, I just set up the cool new vudu.me service. For now it’s front facing, we’ll see if it gets abused. Let’s check out what I did to get vudu.me working.
