Finding Hosting that Fits Your Needs
Dec 29, 2007 Internet, Reviews, Web Design
There are many different sites on the web for finding cheap (or good) hosting for your website or blog. I want to talk about http://www.webhostingchoice.com.
One of the first things that strikes my fancy about this site is the up-front search feature that allows you to enter your preferred maximum monthly cost, setup fee, disk space, and bandwidth requirements. After that, just hit the submit button and off you go! They also have an advanced search feature, which gives you the power to search by other features, uptime guarantee, and many other options (including payment options, including PayPal).
There was one glitch that I found with the site. It gives you a link where you can submit host companies for inclusion, but I received a fatal error when doing this. For me, as long as the search feature is working it’s all good.
One other highlight: they have a decent FAQ for newbies, and even a short primer on how to spot potential scams by hosting companies with less-than-scrupulous intentions.
I would recommend this site if you are looking for a new web host. Very nice indeed.

I Fixed the Glitch…

TSP: Themes! is running again. I just had to pop the hood and delete the link to my Amazon store via phpMyAdmin (which I had to fumble through, because I don’t really know that much about mySQL…and I couldn’t get to the login page due to being redirected).
It seems that you cannot use certain text strings on runhosting, even if you are within the terms of service guidelines…and they won’t give you a list of text strings that are not allowed “for security reasons”. Nice.
So now I need to get more theme stuff for that site. Submissions, anyone?

WordPress Theme Blog!

I’ve been setting up a sister-site to this one, a blog featuring mostly WordPress themes and plugins. I’d like to also add some MySpace layouts on the site. So far I haven’t created any myself (aside from the uber-simple css on my MS page), but there are many good ones out there that deserve all the promotion that they can get.
Be sure to check it out, submit your designs or links, and bookmark the site!

Jottit allows you to publish text quickly, and to claim it as a website. It also supports ‘markup’ formatting.
Nice.
