The Original Website

The very first website ever was created at CERN in 1989. Here is their official recreation of that original site:

http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

and, for the record, a CNN article about the website

English, Please cvining Fri, 09/04/2009 - 12:38

A friend in Saskatchewan recently bought a computer and called me for help. "How do I change the language of this thing to English?  Everything's in French on this new machine!"

Helpful as any tech support guy I reply without hesitation: "haven't a clue."

"Then why did I call you?"

After a bit of googling and some back and forth we determine several things.

Introduction

Time to summarize my quest for the perfect host for my various websites.  None of my sites get particularly heavy traffic, but I manage some "community" services which place certain demands on the hosting company.  A couple years ago I outgrew pair.com and I've not really found the pefect hosting company yet.  This post is an attempt to summarize my experiences, mainly so I won't forget why I made the moves I did.  Perhaps one or two other folks can also benefit from my experiences.
