The Moledrive – a Moleskine usb hard drive enclosure

A couple of days ago I was backing-up files to a portable hard drive while purchasing the previously mentioned Helvetica Moleskine notebooks when an idea came to me.

New hosting with Xilo.net

Over the weekend I successfully moved from my old hosting provider over to xilo.net. I say “I” moved but I really mean the guys at Xilo who handled everything smoothly, solved a few minor issues almost instantly and helpfully found solutions to few teething issues at my end. All this completed over the weekend!

I can’t remember how I found Xilo but they must have picked up on one of my Twitter posts and things lead on from their. They’ve been superb when it comes to communication and Twitter is one of their various channels.

Of course it’s still early days but as you can see I’ve found the service to be fantastic so far. I’ll report back on my experience in a few months by which time I should have a more complete experience of their service. But if last weekend was anything to go by I’m confident it will all be good.


If you’re interested in Xilo providing your hosting please consider using this affiliate link which gives me a small percentage of the first payment you make to them. The link in the first paragraph is not an affiliate link.
