As the free three year trial of 1and1′s professional hosting package has expired I needed to make a choice about what to do with the couple of sites I hosted with them. I’ve been running brotherson.com from my home server for about four years now. I pay for the highest residential service from my cable provider to have the best upload speed without breaking my wallet. It seems only logical to move all of my sites in house…so I am now hosting all of my external websites from home.

Additionally, I am able to help out a friend that faced the same dilemma I did and am now hosting his sites. I’m not able to offer the same SLA’s as a hosting provider, but it is something I was willing to do to help him out and am happy he obliged my offer. Here’s to hoping my cable connection is as steady as it has been in the past. Cheers!
