Carnival of Personal Finance and My New Home
Nov 20
I sent my article Micro Lending and the Decline of Poverty in to this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance. The carnival is being hosted at Everybody Loves Your Money and I love the metaphor of the used car salesman presenting this week’s carnival.

Can you hear that joyous sound? That’s my relief, since I spent the weekend moving Art of Money to a new hosting company, and upgrading to the latest version of WordPress. My apologies if you dropped by in the middle and received a bunch of errors as your reward.
The site loads noticeably faster and I have an insane amount of bandwidth so I can go wild with the videos. Dreamhost has another little feature that I like…you can force everyone to use the same version of your url. If you type in artofmoney.org, it will automatically slam your browser over to www.artofmoney.org.

Congrats – does seem to load pretty fast. I’ve been looking at ISPs as well. Do you know anything about NearlyFreeSpeech at https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ They have an interesting pricing model.
Cheers, Chris
Hi Chris,
NearlyFreeSpeech looks interesting, especially for just starting out…low commitment level. Personally though I would pay a bit more to get “real” email and the latest PHP etc. Also, with Dreamhost it is esentially an unlimited reseller account for $7.95 a month, so I can partition off a section of space and give it to a friend or sell it at a discount. When you have as many sites on the go as I do, it is probably cheaper. But like I said if I was just starting, I’d probably give it a try on NFS.
