Introducing Monthly: Pay-Monthly Web Site Design and Development

Last week saw the launch of Monthly, a completely new web site design and development service I’m pleased to offer small and medium businesses.

Hosting Service Upgrade

I have now upgraded my hosting service and am in the process of migrating accounts for testing on the new system.

The upgrade means a lot more flexibility for my hosting packages, and revised package options will be made available as soon as everything is set up and running.

One of the main requirements I am hoping to get sorted as soon as possible is support for Ruby on Rails. I am also looking into the Mono project for running ASP.NET sites.
