25 Oct 08 New domain and Hosting just registered

Well, Today, I have just registered new domain and hosting for my another site. I will not actually implement a lot but I will setup and configure a little bit. I had a chat with my webhosting online for about 30 minutes. Now, there are many coupons that we can use when signing up.

I used “summertime” code as a coupon and i got further 4.95% discount, LOL. It is just joy to use my web hosting. They have actually upgrade to all our accounts in the past without any charges, but same price. Every year, it’s either bigger and cheaper, but of course as long as we live by their TOS. I have been with them for over 5 years and running, we always get to a conclusion where we can fix all the issues.

At the moment (as of Oct 25, 2008) at my webhosting, coupons that can currently use are

summertime
secretcode
2008

Make sure you can use these coupons when you happen to sign up with my hosting.

Have a lovely weekend

17 Oct 08 How to Take Care of Your Website or Blog

Well, many of you do not know how good your webhosting is, because you don’t really catch when your hosting was down because you were sleeping or going out. But you need to know how reliable your hosting is. And this is one of the most important solution you will ever need.

I have published one article about how to solve web hosting dilemma, because many people chose wrong web hosting and they always paid for one year advance which is 90% non-refundable. Some hosting are not honest enough but always keen to show their uptime at 99.99%. Can you wait and see how reliable your hosting is? Nope, Can you check whether the ping and network latency is reliable or not? Nope. But you can monitor your website if something went wrong.

I use FreeWebMonitoring Dot Com for my websites, I am using FREE service, you can use premium service at paid subscription for more comprehensive reports. The service is absolutely fantastic, even for FREE Monitoring service. For Free Service, you can have up to 3 domain names and limited report (still cool for me and informative), but at least, you know how many hours your site was down continuously. So far, the reports are quite great. I had one site down for 2 hours in non-US data center country, I get to know instantly and then weekly. Hence, I can consider whether I should continue their hosting service or not. So, you can have FREE Decision Support System while you were on vacation or sleeping. I think it is fabulous offer and all you need is to receive email once a week, maybe a couple more if you site was down. Now, the websites I host on US Data Center has no issues at all. Why? Because I choose my hosting service with freewebmonitoring.com, and it saves us a lot of research for web hosting services. Okay, here is my compiled list of what FreeWebMonitoring is.

Q. what if i have more than 3 domains?

A. you can create another with another email LOL, I am just being honest, or you can buy premium service for bigger VIPmonitoring, which can monitor up to 10 domains. FREE every hour test, PAID every 20 mins test.

Q. how to check the domain status?

A. you get emails if there’s a problem everytime it happens, FREE just to one email, PAID up to 6 emails, like reporting instantly to IT manager and Network manager even it is sunday, or maybe directly to their blackberry or iPhone email accounts, so it’s basically handy for companies and corporations. For PAID service, instant messenger reports & cell phone SMS available too. cool huh?

Q. Weekly reports?

A. Yes, you can weekly reports, false alarm protection, many sort of alerts in FREE version.

So, my suggestion is go for it, and get to know your website and web hosting better.

Please feel free to write comments or suggestions, thanks for reading.

01 Oct 08 Web Hosting Selection Dilemma and Solution

Today, It is easy to own your domain name and website than buying an iPod or Sunglasses. Of course, It is much cheaper today.

But the most important thing is to find a stable web hosting to host for. I have been using my own domain since early 1997 and now after 5 years (total 9 years) of hosting sticking to just one hosting, I can finally say that I have found my hosting.

Before you decide to have a web hosting, I want you to read this article from Ryan L. on digital point about 8 steps to Choosing the right web host. It is fantastic article and he’s a web hosting and e-commerce administrator from Wisconsin, United States.

Yes, I have seen many disappointing web hosting companies and of course, I have seen some great web hosting. Some are cheap, some are expensive, some are extremely poor in quality and service. However, since 2003, I have been using web hosting buzz dot com as my web hosting. I must admit I am not 100% happy with them, but I could be they are the best hosting service I have ever used by far. Their price is fair, you can find good support and they never trick you with anything. If they have problem, you can get total update from their support forum and there will always be someone who will take care of the problem. You can either have ticket support, forum support, email support or phone support from 9-5 working hours.

So, I would like to share my hosting which I have been using longest since I started operating my website. They do not offer unlimited space or unlimited bandwidth because It is impossible to offer, however, they offer a lot of unlimited features that could in deed beneficial to the members Like you and me.

These banners are for budget hosting and the basic package comes with $5.95 a month for 400GB disk space, even better if you pay 2 years in advance, you only need to pay $3.95 a month for unlimited emails, add-on domains, sub-domains and many more. The best thing is you get 5 Terabytes traffic and the site is very fast and low latency. Hope you can make the right choice like I did. If you have any questions regarding this, let me know.. (Especially if you want to transfer from your current hosting to new one, I could give you a discount coupon).
