(SFTW) SQL Server Links 11/07/14

July 11, 2014 by John Sansom 2 Comments

Good reads from around the Web.Smart Coffee

Following an excellent recommendation from Brent Ozar I’ve stuck my hand in my pocket and migrated the blog to a new hosting provider.

WPEngine are a dedicated WordPress host and I have to say that so far I’m impressed, what with overall site speed and performance having noticeably improved. At 99$ a month it’s not cheap but ensuring all visitors are provided with a valuable, enjoyable and quality experience is very important to me. The Forum is now also on a dedicated server with WestHost.

You can learn more about the technology stack I use on the Blog Tools and Technology page.

Here’s your weekly roundup of SQL Server Blog Posts, News and Technology Stuff. Enjoy….
