I am currently in the process of moving from a self-hosted WordPress install to Squarespace for a number of reasons and the main one is reliability. I used to host my WordPress install on Godaddy and loved it at first but lately I noticed the site was going down a lot and when it was up it was slow and all most unusable.
The other reasons for the move are for easy of use, less headaches and late nights up coding.
Although Squarespace costs more I feel it’s worth it for the above mentioned points and this may seem mad but I’m also going to be running less ads, just one Google ad in the sidebar. This is because I don’t run this site to make money the only reason I run ads here is to get back a little something for the time and money put in.
All the content on the old site will be lost as I don’t plan on bringing any of it forward, yes I am taking this opportunity to start from scratch with a nice clean database and system to keep things speedy.
