I have recently started having a few issues with my hosting service as my blogs and forum start to grow and I have been looking at different hosting services over the last few days. I’m still not sure if I want to switch the problem is not horrible and may have just been a temporary glitch. Until then I will be checking the internet for some good resources on web hosting, such as the webhosting blog, called Web Hosting Geeks. I have loved looking over this blog and getting great information about different types of hosting along with news and updates on hosting companies and what they are going to offer you.

One post talks about Host Gator and how they are going green, for me that is a huge selling point as I’m all about the Green revolution. So as of right now they are up high on my list of possible hosting services to switch to. They also talk about the different types of control panels, I learned something new as I have only used Cpanal, I love it but it’s interesting to know I have choices. Another thing I like about web hosting Geeks is that they also tell you by interest what hosting plans offer what, so say you want free Adwords money, you click the link and it shows you all hosting services that have Adwords credits. Overall this is a very good and informative site and one I will probably spend a few hours tomorrow reading.

With the school year starting again it would be a great time to check into charter cable and internet service. They don’t offer it where I live, but I have had it before and I miss it. The internet was very fast and of course cable with the movie channels was a must for me. I had those two bundled together, a great deal, it’s still an available option but you can also get charter telephone for $99.97 a month (for 12 months) If you don’t want the cable there are options without that.

The other reason you should take a look at charter is because they now have the Charter Laptop-a-Day Giveaway where they give out a laptop to anyone who orders Charter services online. Laptop details are below.

New HP Compaq Presario C770US Notebook
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor
15.4″ WXGA Screen
2GB RAM -160GB hard drive
DVD Burner
Built in Wi-Fi and Ethernet
Plus a NEOtec Laptop Backpack!

The first winner will be announced September 1st and as a bonus anyone who signs up gets a shell gas card valued up to $100. This is a great deal if your looking to save on gas and internet services. Remember though you can only order online to get this deal.

Today I am really hoping to get some stuff done. I have to take a test for the one class I am not dropping and get my participation in. Then I am going to get to work on promoting my blogs and my paid to post forum. Traffic on all of them has slown a lot and I know it’s because I just have not had the time or energy to do what I need to do. Right now it really looks like I may have to go to school for another year instead of graduating which probably means that my blogs and forum are going to be my only income for the next 2 years.

I’m going to try to get it to where I can make $1000 a month, I can live off of that, hopefully i can get more so I can still keep paying off debt, but if I move $1000 a month will be rent, food, internet and insurance. Hopefully I can even get a phone in there somewhere! I think I have just been pushing myself too hard, I’m worn out and just can’t do it anymore. I should not be killing myself just to get a degree.

I thought as an interior design student that I should learn more about home networking. It’s the way of the future that is here now and if I want to design good homes then I should at least have an idea of what things like CAT6 and KVM switch are.

Even though I may end up starting my own design business as I still don’t think I will be able to find work. I want to offer something that others can’t or don’t know about and if I can help when it comes to networking or selling a home then I want to do that. I figure adapt to the times and you will succeed. If you don’t do it, you will fall and fall hard. I personally would like to stay in the “I’m doing Okay” area. Not come back to the “life sucks and I’m in debt” area.

I’m very happy I had class today because our Internet at home is not working. I’m not happy with our provider as when you call the number in the new phone book you get a humidifier place, not the phone company. I just don’t understand it. So anyway I can’t get a hold of them as the bill is in my mom’s name and she has them.

I came to class early to check email and get a few things done. It wouldn’t be so bad but I had a report due today that I was going to finish, so that’s what I’m right now taking a break from. I got most of it done and it’s not due until 7 tonight, but it still stinks. Hopefully the Internet is working when I get home tonight, I can’t go 5 days without it!

I am always looking for ways to save money. I do though want to get good service or a good product in return, that is why I always do research into things before I buy anything. One of these things is web hosting. I have heard so many people talk about linux web hosting and free blog hosting and I just got so confused at one point that I was almost ready to quit. Luckily I did some research. I checked out each hosting website, I got an idea of the cost of each one and narrowed them down from there, then I started reading other blogs like web hosting rating, to see what other people thought of these hosting companies.

I finally decided on blue host and my blog was born, well my new one anyway. I have been with blue host for just about a year and I’m very happy with them. I have tried a few other services since then with some new sites but nothing has made me change yet. One thing I did learn was that just because a hosting company works for me, doesn’t mean it will work for you so check into what you are getting and make sure it is really going to give you what you need.
