Assalamualaikum. Salam and bless you for landing here.
I’m kicking this SEO Technology Blog by starting the WordPress 101 Readme for Newbies who are moving off from WordPress.Org; BlogSpot; Yahoo360 and the works.

So watch me step by step!

Choosing a webhost is not easy. Not as simple as going to your local Wal-Mart or something like that. You must choose what you want to do with things.

Basic neccessity:
Are you going to take up alot of pictures loaded in?
Are you in the US, EU, Asia as some places have problems accessing certain ISPs connected to some backbones like cognito or even AT&T.
Who and where are your friends and readers?

Word Press Blog takes about 5 MegaBytes of installation space. Some ISPs have these PRE-INSTALLED, ie Prepacked for you to install at one click. They are in Fantastico Control Panels.

Ask yourself what bandwidth are you going to use up, and what is your budget?
Hosting Providers like Gator start at $6.95 if you prepay a year, or Powweb at $7.77 $5.77, with Powweb giving a free Domain of your choice. Ask me for the special coupon code for extra subsidy/rebates/freebies/discounts.
I’m a volume customer.

Gator allows unlimited Domains for their BABY package at $9.95mth, with 100GB and almost a terabyte of bandwidth. That’s alot. With Powweb, its 300GB now and 3 TB, BUT and I emphasise a BIG BUTT, is that you are on no-frills shared hosting with load balancing cluster! At times customers in the EU can’t get thru during weekends. Also, in order to utilise the UNLIMITED DOMAIN, you must be Geeky enough to translate the HTACCESS script so it will redirect properly. Took me 3 mths to absorb all these, and till now I still make mistakes. They have since offered the Dummy Edition of the script so it will auto config, for a fee of course.Good thing is that you can manipulate your DNS so you can run off a Game Server from your own home using your own domain, if so should you be like me.

With gator, it’s all fixed to one server.CPanel does it all. Just add whatever subdomains you need.That’s it.Except for the cost.

I’m not offering other webhosts as a reference cos I’ve had poor experience with their flexibilities. I run a few FORUMs, Photo Galleries and loads of CMS, with shopping carts ..this and that.

I’m able to offer you a CASH rebate up to 3mths of your hosting fees. Contact me directly.
