The data connection was using Comcast Business class that while rock solid for years was certainly expensive.<br><br>I recently shifted my home networking to AT&T Gig Fiber for WAY less money. It's bandwidth is not as reliable, a few hiccups, and no one seems able to provide me the actual static IP addresses I pay extra for monthly. I want a credit for services not provided and I'm talking with clueless people. (I expected this but was hopeful it would work out. It's been 5 months....)<br><br>As the Comcast contract ended, the monthly cost exploded (x2!!!) with apparently no recourse but a new contract. <br><br>So a new dedicated host is provisioned in Montreal with ServerMania for a really decent price and good bandwidth and capacity. <a href="http://ale.org" target="_blank">ale.org</a> will have a new VM with base OS easier to keep wordpress php upgraded than Centos 7.<br><br>Robert has worked to migrate existing content to the new hosting and we are ready to make the transition.<br><br>So.... It's time for a DNS party! Mike Warfield is the current DNS provider. I don't think anyone else needs to jump in unless there's a reason to change DNS hosting. But maybe a greybeard ale meeting is a good thing anyway. Probably virtual.
