Upcoming downtime

Update: Why is migrating domain names such a pain in the ass? Basically most ISP’s are slow to respond when possibly taking business away from them. Anyway, snooch.org.uk and markboulton.co.uk are on the migration path, so expect imminent downtime (probably a holding page from Easily.co.uk) and then some more downtime for the nameservers to change.

It’s only when the domains have been fully migrated can I set up the MySQL databases as they now run off a different server on Dreamhost (who create a subdomain for your database instead of ‘localhost’, hopefully this won’t cause any problems with EE).

So, please bear with me. I expect domain downtime to be a day or so.

Due to a change of host (thanks to everyone who commented on the last post. And the winner was… drum roll… Dreamhost), this site is going to probably be down, or something like that, for a day or so in the next few days whilst I try and get expression engine up and working etc.

Thanks for your patience.

A picture of Mark BoultonI'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.

I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

If you're after simple, clean and effective web design; let me know.
