I changed hosting from izfree.com to 123bemyhost.com in hopes of better uptime and more functional sendmail. They seem to be satisfying on both of those counts, but I'm not yet sure if I have the DNS working right. With izfree, I was able to put their nameserver in for the www entry in the enom panel, but it seems that, here, I have to bypass much of the enom stuff. So, 123beyhost.com (or, more accurately, byet.org) is managing all my cname and mx records, not enom.

I suppose this is okay, since I don't remember any major downtime problems like I had with izfree, but it still worries me that they're having anything to do with my mx records, since, being a small, free service, they can't be expected to have the same standards of uptime as, say Google. We'll see, in 24 to 72 hours.

The cname seems to be working. And those for mail.tombertalan.com and calendar.tombertalan.com, too. I'm backing up the site to the new domain storage space, now, so we'll see if the addresses resolve correctly, et c. soon.

Update: 11:30 PM

Everything seems to be working now. I'll have the couple minor wrinkles ironed out by tomorrow, I'm sure.
