Blog, Domain, Hosting, Plants vs Zombies

I’m thinking of changing my blog’s URL. I guess the “Philippine Place” title no longer fit the contents of my blog. Moreover, I don’t want to create a blog for the different niches that I’ve been touching in my posts. But my brains just cannot help me right now on what title will fit in. Maybe my brains had already been consumed by the zombies, LOL! I still got that Plants vs Zombies fever.

Having my own domain also crosses my mind. Whenever I attend blogger events, I felt somehow annoyed with the long URL that I am writing in the registration. Although it ain’t matter, I know. I know I need not to transfer the hosting of my blog just to have a new domain, but I am thinking of trying it out. Care to suggest the best web hosting that offers the cheapest price in the web?

My girl once bought a domain at GoDaddy.com. Everything’s smooth and she had configured her blog that easy. But problem arose when her Yahoo account is hacked. And interestingly, the hacker only modified her GoDaddy.com account. Or shall I call it weird?

Would it be better to have my blog in Wordpress instead of Blogger?

You see, all these questions run in my head, and I can’t think of an answer. I guess I have to play Plants vs Zombies first, LOL!

My Personal Notes About Yahoo Domain

I have been previously discussing about the importance of web presence and owning a domain in my previous posts. Now, let me discuss my personal notes about yahoo domain.

The things that one would normally consider in purchasing your own domain is the, of course, stability of the registrar/provider. In my cyber life, I haven’t experienced downtime with Yahoo. And since Yahoo Domains are hosted on the very same server as Yahoo.com, owning a domain under Yahoo would mean an equally stable website for you. Not to mention that it is cheaper that other competitors. The average spending that you’ll have in owning a domain is $10 annually. But for Yahoo, new customers are billed as little as $1.99 per year and $9.95 for existing customers.

On top of this encouraging package, here’s a gist of its main features:

1. PC Magazine Rated Easiest
2. 24 Hour Toll-Free Customer Service
3. Domain Management
4. Private Domain Registration
5. Starter Web Page
6. Domain Locking
7. Domain Forwarding
8. Complete Domain (DNS) Control
9. Email Forwarding
10. Room to Grow

All these features were really inviting. A colleague had already purchased one from Yahoo. He is actually staring a website for his God-inspired site to encourage volunteers and kind-hearted individuals to share their gifts. And I must say that he had chosen the perfect domain name registrar.

Needed a .com?

Are you in need of a domain name? Do you want your blog to have its site as www.myblog.com? Or do you prefer a www.myblog.info? Or would you love to have it as www.myblog.net? With my hops around different blogs, I have noticed a lot who already owned a domain. Well, my girl already owned one. I am really not that technical know-how when it comes to these web domains and web hosting. But probably, most of them who owned an online business are after business website securities. It justified the costs of these web hosts rather than having free websites. So, if you are in need of a .com, .info, .net, or any other else, here’s a tip for you.

In my previous post about my new Samsung LCD P2250, I had confessed that I am really particular at prices and quality. That is why I would really toil the work of price canvassing before I finally settle at purchasing one. It also applies in purchasing webhosting services. And you’ll be glad to know that the tedious price and quality canvassing had already done for us by the Web Hosting Geeks site. Moreover, they included from their sidebar their own web hosting awards. These awards were deliberately chosen based from consumer feedbacks.

Before you hit that BUY button, make sure you had analyzed the interpreted information in Web Hosting Geeks. It will save you the regret later on.

Know Everything About Web Hosting

My girl had encouraged me to regularly update this blog. She told me that it will help me increase my page rank. And a higher page rank (PR) would mean many opportunities to earn money online. She as well told me that owning a domain will help acquiring higher PR. As of now, I am still on the learning process into this whole blogging thing, but I really get interested in personalizing my domain. Say, www.pamarquez.com. Sounds great huh? Therefore, I have to know everything about website hosting.

I normally browse over the net to equip myself with enough knowledge about anything that interests me. And web hosting is not an exemption for me. Just like how I bought my Nikon D60 SLR camera, I sort of made a canvass of the prices, quality, and client testimonials about a store and a product before I finally decide to buy one. Fortunately, I found everything I wanted at www.webhostingrating.com. They simply do the canvassing for me. Their homepage showcases the top 10 web hosting providers for the current year. On their right side bar is the list of the hosting awards for the year 2008. Hence, it’s a tedious activity done for me.

Some terminologies stated there are “never-heard” words for me. With that, I had also read from their articles section that provides easy navigation with its Search function.
