The other day, I’ve decided to upgrade the type of web hosting that I have both in my host monster dot com and in my blue host dot com. Each web hosting will cost me around $14.95 per month (round off 15 bucks). And I am not only hosting my own domains but I am also hosting the blogs of my friends and my relatives for FREE. It doesn’t matter if I will not earn something with this type of upgraded web hosting, as long as I will be able to help others, that will be all for me. I know there are some blessings out there that will come my way with God’s grace (of course).
Upgrading my two web hosting
February 7th, 2010Not using FTP anymore
February 5th, 2010Anyway, after knowing how to use word press blogging platform, I then pulled out the domain that I put in blogger dot com so that I wouldn’t be using that FTP or file transfer protocol thing. I was paying 88 per year for that web hosting since I need to renew it by December 2008 for another year. I paid almost 30 for my domain renewal plus the domain privacy. But middle of 2008, I’ve decided to transfer that domain with the newest web hosting that I had as well as transfer the domain registrar. I also let go of the 88 bucks web hosting since I can’t install another WP blog in there. My first installation will be taken over by my 2nd installation and everything will be mixed up. Anyhow, I was having a hard time transferring that domain to my new registrar and I was having a hard time web hosting. I was just glad right after the first registrar released it to my new registrar! I was able to host it and make it a brand new blog again.
At least, I learned
February 4th, 2010With regards to my previous post, I was having that blog with blogger dot com from January 2008 until the time I learned how to use word press blogging platform. That was after I experienced a heart-breaking thing that two of my domains were being deleted from a certain CMS blogging site. The first blog that they’ve deleted, I only recovered the cached from Google. The second one, I was able to save something because I already knew that it would be the next since that blogging site wouldn’t allow a sub domain or a domain to make a paid blogging. Anyway, I learned about web hosting around May of 2008 because I didn’t have a choice but to host my two domains. I was having a hard time recovering from that bad experience but after several months, I was healed and thankful that I did experience such things. At least, I learned something.
Remembering my FTP thingy
February 3rd, 2010Talking about web hosting, my first one was being given to me by my loves. He gave it around December 2007 with a domain. But I didn’t know how to use it. All I know was to blog using blogger dot com. Until I figured out that it’s okay for me to use a domain outside blogger dot com and I was using FTP that time since I can’t change the NS in that domain. Of course, I didn’t know about FTP, so it’s with the aid of my loves to set up my FTP and redirected my sub domain blog with the domain so that I can save my files in the web hosting that he gave me. And that was so tough in making any changes with just one since I need to publish all the files whenever I need to edit something. If only I can change the name server for that and configure it with the settings with the requirements of blogger dot com probably, I wouldn’t use FTP and there’s no need for me to use a web hosting. But again, I didn’t know what I was doing. Good thing I was able to make that domain into a blog with the help of my loves!
In giving something
February 2nd, 2010When I first had my savings from my online freelance writing salary, I sent it to my parents in Ph (around March 2008). That time I was so problematic since my baby just went out from the hospital because he was sick. When I called up my parents on how they can claim the small amount I sent for them, I wasn’t able to tell the right office on where they can claim it. So, my father thought that I was insane because of my problem. When I called them up, they said they went inside a wrong office wherein lots of office workers were wondering what they’re doing in there since it’s not an agent of the money gram dot com that I used in sending them the amount. So, I tried to look at the right agent on the web and then gave it to them. After that, they were able to claim it and they were so thankful. From that time on, I would see to it that I will send them something every month. When I calculated everything I sent them last 2008, that’s almost 5k out of my earnings as freelance writer. It didn’t matter that there’s nothing left for me as long as I was able to give them a little financial support!
