I’ve moved my websites to a dedicated server. I’ve found an immediate increase in speed for the pages that are served. I think VPS technology is great, but for sites that need to be lightning fast, the dedicated server seems to be the best way to go in my opinion.
So far, I’ve had very good experiences with galaxyvisions.com. They have some good deals on unix and windows servers. I’ve decided that the windows platform is the best for my needs right now.
I’ve also loaded moodle onto the server and have been testing it for possible use with my Sunday School class (once we start classes again).

Just curious, how is your ‘refilled’ battery working now that it’s several months into its new life? I’ve got to replace mine now. Also, my father-in-law read that if you are using your laptop primarily plugged in, you should keep your battery out most of the time. Any truth to that? I’m finding lots of different opinions. Thanks!
My refilled battery is working great! I would still recommend refilling the battery, but knowing that there is a chance that it may not work.
From what I understand about Lithium Ion battery cells, which is what most laptop batteries are made of, it is possible that keeping that battery out might prolong its life. I’ve heard that batteries should be stored at 40-60% of their full charge if you do this.
However, Lithium Ion batteries also start to degrade right after they are manufactured. So I’m not sure that leaving the battery out will help much as far as prolonging the battery.
There are many different opinions on batteries. I would say that even if you get the batteries refilled, I would only expect the battery to last about 2 years.
Good to know, thanks!
