Moved To Another Webhost
It was quite a tough decision to make when hubby thought of moving our websites to another web host. After staying with the same webhosting firm for six years, he said that it was time to find one that would suit our needs. He concluded that it was no longer giving us the service and performance that it used to. I was particularly anxious about what would happen with this blog during the process, knowing the large amount of posts already made. While my mind was focused on the files and all, his was to determine which web host would meet the needs of our sites.
He started searching the net for different web hosts and reading web hosting reviews. With the vast number of web hosting sites nowadays, it’s quite hard to choose which one is the best, if there’s any. It’s too early to tell if he has chosen the best one but the performance has been, so far, satisfactory. And its control panel is easy to navigate, like adding subdomains, creating databases, and the likes.
This website has been online for more than ten years and this is merely the third time we have moved to another webhost. But it was less hassle since we didn’t have a database to transfer but simple files. Now that most of our sites have been turned into blogs with self-hosted WordPress, the database is the vital file to transfer. But as you can see on this blog, all posts and images are still in place, like no moving to another web host has taken place.
Your Domain And Web Host In One Site
Choosing a good domain can’t be so complicated as choosing the right web host. Since hubby and I decided to have our family name as the domain name for this site and had it registered, it took a while before we found a web host that we thought was good enough to host this site. That time, there were only a couple of web hosts to choose from, but the rise of many web hosts nowadays can be alluring to move from one to another. And having a domain and web host in one site (or place) is the most convenient way to manage your account.
Almost everyone is blogging these days, either for business purposes or for personal use. So, if you don’t have a blog but dream to have one, you probably thought it’s hard. Well, not really. It only seems to be when you try to think about getting it so perfectly designed or wanted it to be the best blog among millions or billions of other blogs. Of course, it’s not impossible, but if you are just new to blogging, its best to take things one step at a time.
Before you actually get to set up your own blog, first you have to choose a domain and a web host to host your site. A web host is the one responsible putting your site online and keep it up and running. If you are looking for a free service, there are many free web hosts to choose from. If you are looking for a free blogging platform, Blogger and WordPress are two of the most popular choices at the moment. But I suggest you get your own site for your blog because there’s a free web hosting provider that offers a better deal.
Doteasy is a web host company that offers different hosting packages, from basic hosting up to unlimited hosting. Their free hosting plan provides an ad free site and free web site builders to help you create your site much easier. They also offer a free cPanel control panel to use with your free hosting account which not many free web hosts could actually offer. But what’s even better with Doteasy is that they have an affiliate program where you could earn from $5 up to $70 for every successful referral sign up. You don’t even need to become a customer to join their affiliate program.
They also offer domain name registration services where more than 160,000 domain users have entrusted them. And because of this, they have a current promo right now that lets you register any domain name such as .com, .net, .org for only $4.95 for the first year. To take advantage of this promo, just use the coupon code 0910FWH when signing up.
