Usually I would tell my friends to google for “web hosting singapore” when they asked me for web hosting recommendation. For those who’s been asking relentlessly, here’s my VPS hosting recommendation. If you do not want to read why I chose this particular web hosting company then scroll to the end of the article for the referral link.
I never thought there’ll be free VPS hosting – this is premium Web hosting services and when it comes free, there must be a catch. If you are new to VPS and want to test it out for free then this beta test program offered by webbynode.com may be your answer.
Recently, I subscribed to a Singapore-based VPS hosting package. Compared with the US servers that I am using, uploaded files are blazing fast.
VPS hosting is more secure and reliable than shared hosting. However, the technical level required to use VPS hosting is quite overwhelming for me.
WHM and CPanel are so much easier to use. And I am so used to AWSTAT…
This is probably the last post for 2006. Also, the last time I use Blogger to publish to this blog.
This “bad” news is not unexpected. But, how come the website could be no. 1 this week and dropped to no. 19 the following.
One quick and easy excuse would be Yahoo algorithm is faulty!!! Is it really like that?
Ok, here’s the true story. The server hosting http://www.indexfuturestrading.com/ was down for 3 days just prior to my discovery that it went to no. 1 on Yahoo search. And it took me another 2 days to fixed up all the pages before the website was up again on another server. Total of 5 days off-line – ranking sure suffered!
On top of that, the new web hosting server has different configuration and so I could not just restore the files from the backup but had to rebuild all of the TE pages. In the process of rebuilding, I changed the layout and move the link to the TE generated pages deeper into the directory.
The homepage was also redesigned. I listened to the “experts” advice and remove all the “hidden” links to the TE pages on the homepage. Then this week, the ranking plummeted from no. 1 to no. 19.
However,we must understand that this website is barely 3 months old and already made it to the top 20!
