The Jihad Continues
1and1′s insane free three year program expired last week. For those who missed it, what can I say? You snost, you lost. However, at $5/month, their current 1&1 Home Package is not half bad. Neither is ICDSoft’s, which I use. ICDSoft charges the same amount per month, for slightly less storage space and no shell access, but their tech support is much better. Either way, it’s a bargain. This means that while the move to Movable Type is no longer free, it’s still cheap, and the software and move are free. Post a comment if you’re interested.
UPDATE: After taking a closer look, I see that SSH shell access is not included with the $5.00 package from 1and1, even though it is included with the $0.00 package that expired last week. Also, a commenter believes that the $5.00 version of the 1and1 account will not support the scripts needed to run MT. I’m not convinced that this is correct, but I haven’t tried it out yet, either.
