TimeTune has a new website address! 🎉
Now you can find us on timetune.app
The previous address (timetune.center) will be redirected to the new domain, so you don’t have to worry about visiting old links 🙌
WHY THIS CHANGE?
When we first published TimeTune a few years ago, we could not purchase the ‘timetune.com’ domain because it belonged (and still belongs) to one of those companies who buys addresses in bulk to sell them later at expensive prices 🤑
And as the .app domain didn’t exist yet, we finally opted for ‘timetune.center’. It was not ideal, but at least it expressed the notion of the website being the information ‘center’ for the app.
But when Google opened the .app domain to the general public last year, we saw a golden opportunity. We purchased timetune.app and we were happy as a clam! 😀
Besides, .app domains are HTTPS-only, meaning that they are more secure both for companies and users 🔒
The new address is short, sweet and direct. And now we even like it more than the one ending in .com!
NEW HOSTING PROVIDER
Apart from that, our hosting plan was expiring this month and we weren’t happy with our hosting provider either. So we took the opportunity to do two things at the same time: migrating to a new provider and changing the website address.
After researching a lot, we decided to host our website on SiteGround. They have very good reviews and their prices are reasonable. They even have a service to migrate your WordPress site from your previous provider for you!
And indeed, the team from SiteGround migrated our website and changed the address in a flash. We just had to adjust a few things in WordPress and voilà! The new website was up and running.
The support team from SiteGround was very helpful and kind (while in other providers support is basically non-existent). We totally recommend it 👍
OUR CURRENT SETUP
After making this change (and after migrating our help pages last month) TimeTune uses the following domains:
- timetune.app for the main website (homepage and blog).
- timetune.help for the help pages.
As the project grows, we’ll keep polishing more things like this. The idea is to progressively adopt better platforms and to offer you a better service in general.
And timetune.app really fits into that.
We hope you like the new address as much as we do 😍
Cheers!
