Yesterday I spent hours moving my blog to a new hosting service, mind you this is the first time I use self-hosted blog so I didn’t know much about it. I use the same local company where I bought my domain. I personally don’t like the idea of using the same company for two services altogether because if their service is suck I’ll be double wrecked.

Anyway, so far I’m quite satisfied with their service. They’re fast and promptly respond to my queries. I’m not going to credit or recommend them now since I’m still new with them, but we’ll see maybe later after few months I’ll feature them here if the service is still good.

I’m not saying that the old free hosting service is totally bad, let’s just say I wasn’t lucky because less than a month using their service my server already down several times. That was not good for I was just starting to promote this blog to some directories. But I know some bloggers who really enjoy their service.

Now that I use paid service I have to carefully plan and watch my blog size and traffic targeting because everything is limited now. I deleted some unused themes and plug ins. Anyway, for the next few days I’ll probably busy tweaking this blog again because I lost all the setting I made before. Oh I hate to start from the scratch again

I was so mad my server was down for hours on the weekend. As for now I’m still using a free hosting service and so ready to leave it if the troubles continue. I know we couldn’t expect so much on free things but I really hope this one can work out better, at least until my blog already run steady and have enough traffic.

I shall see what other troubles I have using this service. All I know until now I couldn’t claim my blog at Technorati, my FeedBurner couldn’t validate my feed, Adgitize didn’t get my latest post so did BlogCatalog, I couldn’t validate my RSS at Feed Validator, etc. If those errors continue until today, I will definitely pack my blog and move to other hosting…
