3C Tech Center moved to GCP

I can't stand Bulehost's slow speed, and I have pulled DNS back to be directly managed by networksolutions. Adjust the DNS setting TTL to two hours, maybe it will be converted to other places.. Here are a few things that I personally don't like about Bulehost. 1. The host should be in the United States, and the speed is too slow. Two, no http/2. 3. The time zone of mysql cannot be adjusted. So decided to move to Google Cloud Platform...
