I am fed up of the webhosting solutions provided by Dot5Hosting. Time taken by the site to load is terribly bad with Dot5Hosting. Too much of latency and their customer support is pathetic. Don’t ever think of Dot5Hosting for web hosting. Because of their bad services, I plan to migrate to Yahoo! India web hosting. Yahoo! price is very reasonable and I have got thumbs up for their service from my friends and colleagues. Yahoo customer support was quick enough to reply to my e-mail.
Since Y! India hosting services were started very recently, they are not offering the domain transfer at this moment hence I am looking for a new domain name. If you have a suggestion for a creative domain name for the kind of content I post on my blog, feel free to suggest as many as possible! Look forward for your help….
Alas the much awaited wordpress 2.5 release candidate is out. I have been looking for this, eagerness got increased since the screenshots and the sneak preview was made available a couple of weeks back. I had a look at couple of sites which are installed with the latest release. It looked cool and neat. I would wait for the comprehensive release version. I haven’t had many issues with the current version 2.3.3.
Apart from upgrading to 2.5, I have plans of changing my theme as well. Any suggestions from readers? My current iPhone theme is somewhat slower in loading the page and my current service with dot5hosting is adding more fuel to the burning fire. I just want to move away from dot5hosting. I have already made up my mind on who should be my next web hosting service provider! No goodies for guessing it right…. Yes! it would be Yahoo!
My current domain & webspace is hosted on dot5hosting services. They are pretty good all these days until my account got transitioned to a new v3 platform. Earlier, my account was on vDeck v1.0. I had a real bad transition experience to new platform. I use my site mainly for blogging and ‘WordPress‘ is the blogging solution product. All these days, I was using WordPress v2.0.2 without any issues. Since dot5hosting was migrating me to a new platform, thought of upgrading wordpress to v2.3.2. To my bad, I had too many issues with vDeck v3.0 and then a hard time migrating to new version of WordPress. In the process of migration, my previous posts db got corrupted and I was able to backup only the posts. Because of this I lost all the visitor comments. I am glad that WordPress v2.3.2 supports xml format to backup db as well as to restore it.
Now I am taking the backup of my data on a weekly basis into a local disk than to rely on dot5hosting backup. Every now and then I get to hear about the server downtime from my friends. Seriously considering to move to a new hosting service provider. I will give one more chance & evaluate the performance of dot5hosting for a couple more months before moving away. Hope they get better and things get pretty stable on the new platform.
