This week ZimmComm New Media is going to take a TextDrive. Basically this means we’re moving to a new server. For a couple years now we’ve been with HostGator and for the most part they’ve been a good fit.

However, as we’ve evolved in the web publishing and social media world we need a company that really understands what we’re doing. As I was looking around at various companies we could work with I was pointed to TextDrive, a Joyent company. Ironically, this is the company that the original design artist for the AgWired theme moved to.

TextDrive is “hosting company run by and for people who love publishing on the web.” When I saw that slogan I had a gut feeling I was in the right place. This is going to be different kind of hosting management environment. I guess that means I get to learn something new. We’re hoping for a smooth transfer this week but just in case we have a hiccup you’ll know what’s going on.

After this move is complete it’s full steam ahead into the new year. This is going to be fun.
