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

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.
