Been Busy in DP Forum : Free/Cheap Hosting SUX

December 24th, 2008 | 13 Comments | Posted in hosting

I don’t know why, my addiction to this freebies made me wasting my 48 hours of weekend.I spent my free time in front of my Acer laptop play around with free domain, free hosting and cheap hosting. I tried to setup new Wordpress blog using free domain from Zonestraits.com free hosting at uuu1.net and cheap hosting at Exprohost.com.

Server Cable from kenyee

I bought a really cheap hosting, 2Gb for only USD 4.99 Day dreaming after saw their ad in DP Forum. I paid thru PayPal, using money that I earned from Matched.UK.Just for fun and to do some sort of experiment to see how reliable are cheap hosting. Well all I can say that better get a genuine or paid hosting like ServerFreak.Actually, I bought that cheap hosting because my 500 MB hosting with Serverfreak already full. I thought by buying a cheap hosting with big capacity will solve my problem, unfortunately it’s made my blogging more miserable. The admin only replied once, and I cannot connect to my server till 48 hours. The worst part is, the server is always down Crying. Sometime my new wordpress website is online, but most of the time offline and all I can see was a blue screen.My wordpress blog with free hosting also the same, totally not worth it. Upload a lot of thing such as plugin, edit theme and link to the server, in the end you get only crap.

Lesson learned here, don’t easily get tempted to buy a new hosting by looking at the number. A lot of factor have to be considered before buying a new hosting.Factor like, location of data center, uptime and down time has to be considered. Feeling a little bit stress about this hosting problem, I decided and already bought and upgrade my existing hosting with Serverfreak to Deluxe package with :

    • Disk Space                   = 2 GB
    • Monthly Data Transfer = 50 GB
    • Domains Allowed        =  5
    • Price                           = RM 180/year

    So no more problem with space Dancing and that really ease my mind.No more wasting my weekend using cheap hosting. For free domain at Zonestraits.com, maybe you can try. Not that bad, easy to manage and perform well. Good Luck and Happy Holidays!!

    Blogging Wars – WordPress Vs Blogger

    April 29th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in affiliates

    There’s a war going on in the blogosphere, and it has nothing to do with bloggers dissing each other on their respective websites. The war is about control of the blogosphere by several great, many good, and tons of terrible blogging platforms. The average newbie now has “too many” options to choose from, and the battle for blogging supremacy is hotter than ever.

    At my website and blogs, I’m always asked the question “Is Wordpress better than Blogger?”. The answer, of course, is “Yes”. But to really understand why, it’s important to look at both blogging platforms side-by-side and see which one you really need.
