Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 3 August

This post is more than 10 years old

August 8, 2015 by Tessa Shepperson

serversApologies to anyone who has had problems accessing the site over the past week.

The reason for this is that we have just more or less completed a major project – moving my websites away from their current server to specialist hosting.

Landlord Law is now with Pantheon, a specialist Drupal hosting company (as it is built on Drupal software) and my other sites (along with this blog and Nearly Legal) are now with WP Engine which specialise in WordPress hosting.

I must say I am really pleased at how fast the sites are now, particularly Landlord Law where often the pages seem to come up almost instantaneously.

Huge thanks to my IT man, Mark-in-America who researched the project and carried it out flawlessly.

We have also started the filming work for our Landlord Law TV project, but more on that later.

What happened on the blog though?
