We just had a small hosting accident yesterday.
One of our clients had his weblog cut off with the dreaded Bandwidth Limit Exceeded notice:
Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.
Richard’s visitors had pumped 80 GB out already this month on his FreeTheAnimal weblog primal living weblog. Not bad for a single writer not in a formal network. Every month his traffic is growing. Congratulations Richard!
These 80 GB of bandwidth are the real thing, with just a few slightly overweight images, not a single big file accidentally uploaded.
Richard was surprised and upset to see his weblog cut off as were we. While most hosts cut clients off as a routine matter of business, we do not. We treat our clients as we would like to be treated ourselves.

New version of our plugin should cure the error message which was appearing on some hosts or sites with broken plugins:
"Toolbar set 'Foliovision' doesn’t exist"
We decided to not use that file anymore and moved all the configuration options for FCKEditor into inline JavaScript. That should fix the problem.
If you had this problem, download the latest version of our plugin (0.9.14) here. This new version fixes this problem and also some other bugs in file management.
We will be glad to hear any feedback on our Foliopress WYSIWYG plugin page.

Foliopress WYSIWYG is our own WordPress editor with SEO optimized image manager.
We released a new version (0.9.13) which will fix the annoying autosave glitch -
"The changes you made will be lost if you navigate away from this page."
This message was appearing even when there were no changes made to the post, since we added the autosave support in previous version.
Other fixes and features:
- Added language support
- WordPress caption support (they will be put under the image into h5 tag)
- Image uploader permissions are now configurable
- Autosave glitch fixed

You do want to be using SSL. Unencrypted connections are far too easily eavesdropped. On the other hand, it’s worth remembering that SSL only gets your login and email encrypted between your computer and your smtp server. Once your email hits the big pipes, it’s unencrypted again, vulnerable to whomever can get access to the transit points. A rogue operative in any ISP or fiber optic supplier could still siphon off huge amounts of data. Even if such a person existed, s/he would be unlikely to be able to regularly get all of your email though. However, random emails, especially if they traverse exotic territories with loose security could be grabbed.
Email is not private. Don’t forget that ever. Email is not private.

The most important thing which you must know before starting the move is whether the mail account to be moved is POP or IMAP.
If the account is POP, your task is fairly straightforward.
You want to make sure that you move any unread move (mail from between the time your client last collected email and the time of the move is picked up and put on the new mail server). The best way to do that is to log into the old mail server and the new mail server via IMAP simultaneously. You will see what has been read and what hasn't. Just move the unread messages.
If you move the read messages, when your client logs in again via POP, he or she will have to sort through a 1000 or even 3000 archived messages in the inbox. Not fun.
We recommend using Apple Mail as the IMAP client as it's very easy and quick to set up. Windows Live Mail hides the IMAP accounts and folders and is ugly as sin. Thunderbird is very fiddly and exposes too many options but could do in a pinch or if you don't have a Mac handy.
