Last November 2007, I made a switch to paid hosting account from enjoying almost a year of service from my free host for worries of losing my site as I’ve experienced from my previous free hosts.
Recently, this blog and my whole hosting account were on hiatus. I had experienced two account suspensions from my web host (WebHostingBuzz) and as I’ve already stated, site suspension is one of the worst nightmares a blogger could experience. The suspensions were due to server (CPU) resource abuse. Apparently, some poorly-scripted WordPress plugins that I’ve been using caused most of the server resource abuse. It’s painful to see how my blog income abruptly fell from it’s usual over $10 per day to only $6 per day. This has made me decide to upgrade my account to a semi dedicated hosting. It costs me $35 per month, it’s way more expensive that my previous hosting account which costs only $6/month, however the security and assurance of not experiencing another blogger’s nightmare is worth the cost.
What Are The Advantages of a Dedicated Server or a Semi-dedicated server?
The advantages of a dedicated server can best be described by the following analogy:
Suppose you wanted an automobile. You could not afford to buy one for yourself, so you decided to go in with four friends and everyone would own a piece of the automobile. This meant that although it was cheaper for everyone, they all had to share the car. A schedule would be worked out and everyone would abide by the schedule of when they could use the car.

Whew! At last, my site is working again. There were some problems with my old host, gladly I found http://ej.am. They are offering 300MB space with the newest cPanel version. They also have a good and friendly staff. And I must say that they are a reliable host because they have their own server, not just a reseller account.
So with my old host suspended, I have lost all my posts including my post on hosting your blog. fortunately, I still have my Blogger account, which could be easily imported using Wordpress.
I have a 1 GB space, which is far enough for my blog, lyrics site and school’s website alone. So I have decided to share it for those who need blogs.

I am so happy because I’ve reached the 1200 HB points I’ve been wanting to. I have already forwarded my request and I hope to get their reply as soon as possible. I am so excited.
Anyway, I have chosen to use jammedph.com. As the original plan, I will use it for my lyrics site, our medical school website, my personal blog and others.
Yay!
Oo nga pala. I am blogging with Flock. It’s a new browser. They’re still on Beta (Beta 1, v0.7). I think they still have a lot of improvements to do since it seemed not compatible with all websites I visit. That’s why I am not using it in browsing the net. Just for posting in blogger since it’s more convenient because I don’t have to login to blogger to post for a new entry. I still stick with Mozilla Firefox. This is also an Open Source browser just like Mozilla Firefox.
Okay, have to make my research proposal which will be submitted tomorrow. Cramming again. Hehe.
