So I found a new bed in the stylish home belonging to Media Temple. This is where I now sit listening to the server kicking going on next door and wincing but safe in the knowledge that I have saved McCoy from a good beating as I need this site up for potential interactive art director / digital creative director jobs & freelance web design contracts in order to provide a living and feed the kids.

I chose Media Temple as they are pretty much the default designers choice since way back in the day when they started and came to the rescue of the then mighty K10K.net. So with brands and audiences being aligned it seamed an obvious choice.

My other sites I will eventually move over to a completely different hosting service, one that fits the other part of my personality, the other host is an Eco / Green web site hosting service by Host papa (daft name, but a great offering). All their servers are powered using renewable resources and since the lions share of my sites will be with them it makes sense in that instance.
