Unsigned Rock Podcast #37

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Everything up + running properly now, so enough of the technical webhosting rubbish and bring on the music! Three bands we’ve played before, dunno why I suddenly got in the mood to go over previous bands - just happened to have 3 awesome tracks I wanted to get played! The other tracks include a band up for Best Unsigned Band at the Digital Music Awards 2006!

Our new webhost

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Well, that was fun! The current webhost the Unsigned Rock Podcast sits on is due to expire at the end of October. It’s actually piggy-backed off fouldsy.com as when I first started, I didn’t want to fork out extra money for webhosting, but have been meaning to move it for a while now. With grumbles about pretty much every webhosting company depending on who you talk to, I went with GoDaddy as their packages looked good, and I have a number of domains through them already. A nice little touch though was that once the webhosting was added to my account, they updated the records for all my domains to point to the new server, causing havoc on a few sites I run! Nice, eh?

Have got things up + running now after uploading all the data to the new server and creating the database, and all the RSS feeds and iTunes links haven’t changed, nor has my e-mail - I made sure they were host-independant from the start, so there’s nothing you nice people need to do, except maybe change any bookmarks you had :-) It’s all now directly running from www.unsignedrockpodcast.com - I’ll look at setting up redirection from the old links to direct posts in a bit to help those MySpace-rs out there!

All being well, I’ve got a cracking podcast lined up for tomorrow, so get yer finger ready on the ‘Play’ button and have the volume control ready to be cranked up!

Bit of a wet + miserable Monday over here, so thought the best thing to do was put out a podcast, especially with a couple of bits of good news to talk about!

Still open for suggestions on new theme music and stuff to put into new bumpers + jingles. Haven’t got round to start playing around making any, as I’ve been getting a few other things sorted. Hopefully on Monday I’ll have some good news about some of it!
