We’ve moved host, no more downtime!

The PHP Blog has moved host from Crissic to HostGator and hopefully the downtime we’ve been experiencing lately is no more!

We’d like to apologize about the recent down time, our previous host Crissic decided to go down for days at a time with no explanation, when the site finally came back online we took a backup and moved host instantly.
