You should know- I didn’t skim this one either! I’m in the process of deciding if I should self host or not.. it seems like a lot of work (maybe that’s just because I know absolutely zero about computers?!)..

That’s hysterical! Just make some chicken fingers, grab some play-doh and possibly some soft bopper-noodle things, lock the door and don’t open it until parents come. Voila! Instant play date.

Have you picked out a host yet? I know Frank has a lot to say about HasWeb, although I am very fond of pairlite.com for personal hosting. I use them these days, after a few prior years with their “big brother” service. They’re not the cheapest, certainly, but I’ve not really found a more reliable host in this market space.

I can give you a list of ones to stay away from, too, starting with Dreamhost (who used to host nerdnyc) and 01domain.net (which hosts bw.org).

I’ll follow you wherever you write. I have no clue about hosting web stuff. heck I am nervous about hosting a playdate for my son!

Aw, thank you!

I would like to be self-hosted. But askamanager.com is already taken, so I’ve stuck with my blogspot address, even though it’s starting to seem increasingly silly. But I can’t bring myself to pick a different domain name.

Oh hell, you just inspired me to register askamanager.net.
