I’m Looking For A New Host For My Blog: Advice Please
In light of my recent site problems, I’m weighing up my hosting options and I’m trying to get some advice in the Connected Internet forum. Who hosts your site? Would you recommend them? Who do you think I should use for my VPS?
Currently I’m with PowerVPS on their level 3 package which [...]
Site Back Up And Running
Wow, that was really painful. The site now appears to be back up and running. I think the problems were caused by a catologue of errors by both me and my host, PowerVPS, which resulted in 3-4 minor outages on Tuesday and a 36 hour outage until now. What I’m really disappointed with, was [...]

I’ve been working with my new WordPress guru, Ajay, on reducing the bloat on my blog from plugin overload. One of the dangers of WordPress is it’s so easy to customise, and no real technical knowledge is required. This can get quite addictive and before you know it, your pages take an eternity [...]

Site Problems Update: Culprit Was Readers Post Plugin

I’ve just tweaked my server and finally managed to get WP-Cache2 AND APC (Alternative PHP Cache) to work together at the same time on my WordPress blog. The difference this has made to my page loading speeds is absolutely amazing, and it’s only going to get better as the cache increases in size. [...]

I’ve been having a discussion over the last day or so with Martin from gHacks about our relative traffic stats. About 6 months ago we had the same level of traffic, but gHacks has definitely moved onto another level since then thanks to Martin’s hard work, whereas Connected Internet has suffered from a bit of [...]

Martin at gHacks has created an extremely comprehensive list of sites that offer Free File Hosting. He’s even gone that little bit extra and categorised the list by sites that only allow image hosting Vs files hosting, and also by how much space each site provides.
