Here is a list of a few hosts I’m curious about and/or have used in the past. If you are reading this and have a second to spare, let me know who you’ve used and would recommend. All of the 30 or so sites that we host are PHP/MySQL applications, generally Symfony, WordPress, or Magento sites.

February 23, 2010 – 9:11am symfony 1.0 migrations
I’m working on a plugin for symfony 1.0 and am really enjoying this workflow. Yes, symfony 1.0 is 4 versions old and should not be used for new projects.
With the help of the sfPropelMigrationsLightPlugin plugin, one of my favorites, I have been rapidly making changes to my plugin schema and adding new data to the database over and over again while I mock things up.

What is the secret to SEO?
“Make something great. Tell people about it. Do it again.”
from Spammers, Evildoers, and Opportunists by Derek Powazek:
