Finally moved to the cloud

I have been with GoDaddy now for a while but have noticed as I progress with my site and my Mini Projects become more complicated(heavy) that GoDaddy was getting harder to manage and struggling with the loads. I cannot really complain I bought this hosting package for peanuts.

Lucky for me I have a MSDN subscription, with that comes £35 of free Azure credit per month... It was time to move the site. I kept putting it off, assuming it would take a while and I would struggle with the GoDaddy DNS, but thanks to YouTube I found a simple walk through and an amazing bit of background music :).

So now when you visit tomharris.net you are in the cloud.
