Well, after 2 years of hosting at Frihost, I’m moving on. My new webhosts’ package may not be as good as Frihosts’, but is now located on an Australian server, and hopefully will have better uptime then frihost.I was first referred to Frihost back in 2006 by this thread. It was just what I was after. Ad-free, Free and plenty of space and bandwidth. My year (or so) of search for a host was over. I ended up signing up on the 19th of March, making my first post 3 days later.

mathiaus accepted my request 6 days later (on the 22nd) and from there I started work. The first thing I can remember doing was setting up phpBB and themeing it. The site, GazGames was originally going to be a place where I host my games, and hence used the sub-domain gazgames.frih.net. Well that idea never took off, and I ended up being the 9th person to request a sub-domain change in August. I purchased my first domain later that month (gwplus.net) and the idea I had for that also fell through. I created my first blog on the site, not for me, but for a friend in September and ended up re-branding it to Garion’s Blog.

It was out of luck that I stumbled by a topic on Whirlpool last week, advertising free webhosts. I found an all-Australian owned and hosted site, called Avanti and although they had not-quite as many features of Frihost, I still applied. I was accepted, and if you can read this post, you’re on my new server! So I got to work on a new blog theme and after a weeks hard work, this is what I’m left with. I’d like to know what you think, because I like it, but am interested in any improvements that can be made.

Now that I’ve got a new blog, I hope to write more and also attract more publicity to it as well. But now that I’ve had a week off movopia, I plan to get back to work tonight and hope to have an update post by next Monday!

Garion's blog is 100% Australian owned, produced and hosted.
