Spring will officially start on the 20th of March people say. Which means we have a little more than a month left to go. I do not know

why I have this feeling as if we are having a long winter. Maybe because of the frequent snow fall compared to other years? Perhaps. I’m just missing the sun a little bit.

When I think about it… Just wonder how those people live in Alaska or somewhere where the winters are longer. Well, at least they don’t have to worry about finding the right age spot remover when they’re old.

Huh, look at me, expressing my longing for warmer days. When people from warmer climated countries would be longing for colder days. I guess people will never be satisfied with what they have. 

Here is another web hosting guide website where you can do a little bit more research on the top web hosting companies out there. Try Webhostinggeeks.com.

Just like many hosting review websites they too will tell you who are the top popular players of web hosting. Besides that, a feature that you may find very handy when looking for a suitable web host is that they have already categorized the web hosts according to their specialization like, the best budget hosting, the best hosting for blogs, best business hosting, best forum hosting and more. Thus according to what sort of website you want to be hosted, just click on the category that suits you.

What I like about the website and what you may find important before you make a decision of choosing a certain hosting company, are the reviews left by the real users. Since they are the ones who are experiencing the services first hand, so they should know better.There are various reviews. From flying colour reviews that recommend a company highly to reviews from very unsatisfied clients.

Besides that, what I also like about them is their blog. There  are very useful guides and tips for the newbies and the seasoned webmasters alike. So regardless whether you want to find for a new web host or just to keep abreast with the latest news and tips regarding web hosting, there is definitely something for you to learn from the Web Hosting Geeks.

I have been with my webhost for 6 months now and I have no qualms. That was after making mistakes of choosing the wrong web hosts. It was frustrating. I am actually rather happy with my web host now and hope it will stay that way for a very long time.

If you are new to paid webhosting, there are some webhosting review websites that can help you decide better. One of those websites is webhostingchoice.com. They do the research for you and you do the choosing. It is actually a web host directory site that also provide  guidance on making the right web hosting choice. You may submit a webhosting details onto the website.

No matter whether one is a knowledgable person on webhosting or a total noob, this site is a great place to start.

I am with NewGenerationHosting for nearly half a year now. I did a lengthy review about them the first month of using. The post can be found here.

I have a couple of blogs hosted with them. Another blog hosted on another hosting provider. Yesterday I asked them whether they would transfer that particular blog for me. A few minutes after I sent them the support ticket they answered my question, saying that they would gladly do it.

You see, some hosting providers will not transfer individual blogs. They would only transfer the entire cpanel only. I have two domains on the other hosting and only want to transfer one over. Other hosting providers wouldn’t do it for me.

So they did everything yesterday. By this morning I checked everything is tranferred and my blog running smoothly, nobody even noticed the transfer. They did everything.

After 6 months of using their service, paying less than $2 a month to host with prompt support, my verdict? NewGenerationHosting.com rocks.

While digging into some personal items, I have found a couple of diaries which I have stopped writing in for years. I flipped through the pages and read a few entries I wrote when I was a teenager  till my early 20’s. I realize how unhappy I was . Miserable would be one of the adjectives that was applicable in my life then. Family problems, financial problems and the passing of my beloved mother.

I haven’t updated the diaries for so long, and since the last entry, my life has changed tremendously. A change that I wouldn’t have thought at the time when I wrote it last. Though the memories of the past may come to me when I least expect, but if I do not allow it to hurt me, it would lose its strength and power over me. Even though the wound is there, the pain of the memories have gone.I am blessed now with a happier life.

No matter how tough a problem can be, just remember that, it shall pass. Though the hurt may seem to be overwhelming, the pain will eventually subside with time.

This review is made out of my own experience with the webhost.

A few weeks back I decided to try out another webhosting. Not that I have changed my webhost. No, so far they have been great for simple blogs like mine.

I tried out eVerity’s service. Though a week cannot be sufficient to talk about it’s uptime and such, but at least I can say that I was pretty happy with their customer service respond. According to webhostingstuff.com’s uptime statistic, eVerity has more than 99% uptime.

They have 5 packages to choose from. Mini, Standard, Pro, Enterprise, and Semi-dedicated. All of which you can pay monthy or yearly. The space starts at 500 MB with 25 GB Bandwidth (Mini package) for $3.99/month and $3.33/month if you pay for a year. The benefit of paying yearly is, as you see, you get a slight discount plus a free domain. Currently, you may only pay for 10 months and get 2 months free with the free domain included. There is NO CONTRACT. What I like about their service is, you can cancel it anytime and they will refund the remaining months you do not use, minus the cost for the domain though. The domain will be yours.

There is a 10 days trial period for all the packages, except for the semi-dedicated. Therefore, it is not required for you to pay up front for the first 10 days. They don’t have any live support either. But as I have experienced and read from other users of eVerity in forums, they will answer your support ticket or message roughly within 20 minutes. You will get an answer from a guy called James. Though I have a feeling it is not always James who answered my questions all the time, but it’s okay as long as they respond and do a quick work when I need them to do something. They transfer websites from one cpanel account to their server for free.

So if you are looking for cheap hosting with reliable, and fast working customer support, you should give eVerity a go.

Looking for dirt cheap webhosting? Why not check out 2iphost.com ? They offer a $25 for life web hosting package.

• 100 MB diskspace.
• Host unlimited domain.
• unlimited database
• unlimited data transfer (bandwidth)
• unlimited email accounts
• unlimited ftp accounts

I think the space is rather little. But if you just want to host a personal website, blogs, 100 mb is good enough. Further, the account is upgradable. Just pay another $10 for every 100mb you want to add, or $75 for every 1 gb. Yes, this too only one time payment.

They also offer another plan. 2ip pro plan with a monthly billing cycle. $3.75 per month.

• Free domain name
• Unlimited diskspace
• unlimited domain hosting
• unlimited email account
• unlimited ftp.
• Unlimited data transfer.

Interesting that they can offer hosting for a one time payment. Whatever it is, just check out the testimonials of users you can find on youtube and other webhost review websites.

Seemingly for a cheap hosting, they have a good review from users.

Thought I’d share this. I have been using this particular hosting for nearly a month. Not too long, but so far I am satisfied. You need to know that they did not pay me to write for this post. What ever opinion I have is thoroughly mine. I might change my opinion later, but as of now this is what I think of their service. If I do change my opinion, then I would later write a post on that. So I will keep my reviews up to date.

Now the hosting that I am using to host this blog and also another personal blog of mine is Newgenerationhosting.com. It is an India based hosting who has been in the business for 5 years now. They have 2 url that direct to the same website. If you check this domain, they only registered this year if I’m not mistaken. If you check whois another url they use to redirect, ngh.in, yes it shows that the domain has been around for 5 years. I did my little research on this before I choose. Not to mention reviews after reviews. Though they don’t have many reviews to back them up, I gave the service a shot.

Now for the packages. What I like about the offers is that, you can pay monthly, unlimited add on domains, unlimited MySQL database. They have 4 packages. Starter, Economy, Business, Enterprise. I took the starter package since I only host blogs on it. 500 mb, with 10 gb bandwidth per month. How much? $1.49 per month. Cheap. Though I know you can find all those offers, unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth for as low as $4 or so, but who needs that big a space? Unless if you host a website that needs lots and lots of space. If you just want to host a couple of blogs. You don’t need that many space really. If in any case you need to upgrade, saw that to upgrade was pretty easy. Since I only pay monthly, in case the next month I need bigger space I just upgrade. For now, let me pay less than $2 a month. If you want to know more about the prices, check out on the website.

Now about the reliability part. I chat with the customer service. Though not there all the time, but at least I can see that a customer rep. is there, online. Once I submitted a support ticket, the person replied promptly and with good English. So far no downtime yet.

If you tell me you can get a free webhost for as much space, I tell you this, I’ve tried one free webhost. The one that you can see advertise through adsense. The funny thing was, I couldn’t access my blog. Why? I read on the forum, seemed like not only I had the problem, that it may be that my ISP blocked the IP of the host. Well, nothing can prevent this kind of thing to happen even to this hosting that I’m using. True. But at least, I can complain. The other one, is free. I cannot complain for a FREE service. At least that’s my opinion.

As of now, this is my review of the host. As I said, I will keep it up to date.
