I was recently notified by the company I work for that I would need to pack up and move from Arizona where I currently live and head down to Georgia. While it came as a bit of a shock, I have been to Atlanta and do, truly, enjoy the area and its people. One of the main reasons they are sending me there is to be closer to the Atlanta colocation web hosting facility we use.

While they have their own professionals on staff 24/7, my bosses boss feels that we’d be better served if I was closer, nonetheless.

So, in addition to having to completely uproot my life, over the next 3 months I need to become a web server expert. The reason for this has to do with the money savings our business is hoping to attain when they convert all of our server packages to unmanaged dedicated server hosting plans.

And this basically means that I will be THE person that is responsible for all aspects of our company’s online existence. The great thing about having our server boxes in a colo center, as they are called, has to do with the fact they always have professional technicians on duty. This means I’ll never really be all that alone to take care of the challenges that may arise.
