Dreamhost Promotional code: SH50

uses: $50 discount plus a free domain lifelong.

Expire: Doesn’t expire

Previously dreamhost promo code sh50 was giving only 50$ discount and you will not get a free domain with this coupon before.Now this code has been modified for the month of july 2010 to give you A LIFELONG FREE DOMAIN.As you may know a domain name registration at dreamhost costs 15$ and so you can enable this offer to get it free via this coupon.

I have already explained all the features of dreamhost and i myself have a shared hosting plan with them for 2 years now.I have hosted 4 domains in it and they have already made all optimum settings for a wordpress blog so that i do not need to make any changes or struggle with settings.They offer easy installation for many of the scripts like wordpress,joomla and forum etc.

So,i can recommend dreamhost to any user who is new to website hosting since he can learn the basics without any struggle and has also options for upgrading any time.

How to switch or migrate from webhost to another new host

sensehow — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 19:00:18 +0000

Recently i moved my hosting from bluehost to knowhost Sensehow migrated from bluehost to knownhost and since it was my first time switching my wordpress blogs from one hosting to another i got a lot of problems during migration.Initially i has asked knownhost customer care to migrate it free for me and they moved all my files and databases to knownhost by their inbuilt account to account importer.But in that method only my main domain in bluehost was working well and all the other add-on domains including sensehow.com went down for several hours.Initially i was not aware of this since the cached version of my blogs were visible to me and i was also able to login to admin panel.Then i noticed it was all before the name server propagation and was not the actual site that was moved to knownhost.So,below is a new working tutorial for moving your wordpress blog from one hosting to another without any downtime.

HOW TO SWITCH YOUR WORDPRESS BLOG TO NEW WEBHOST?

1.Initially go to your new webhost and signup for a webhosting account.You will be given with a name server for your new hosting account.For me it was NS1.AASLIN.COM and NS2.AASLIN.COM.

2.Goto your domain name account where you registered your domain name,for eg.godaddy and in domain manager dashboard of your domain name click Nameservers and add the new name servers in the 3 and 4th name server column.

3.Now goto your wordpress admin and de-activate all the plugins.Since infolinks,wp-super cache,easy adsense and some other plugins cause problems if you migrate without de-activating.For me when i moved hosting my website and wp-admin went inaccessible due to these plugins.(I had to delete them from cpanel file manager to access wp-admin)

4.Download all the files of your wordpress blog using any FTP client like filezilla of webftp and store it to your desktop temporarily.

5.Now go to phpmyadmin in your old webhost and bacnkup your database,to know how to backup your database using phpmyadmin http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database and save it as a SQL file in your desktop.

6.Then now go to your new webhost and create a database and database user with all privilages.(try to create in the same database name,username and password.If you are not able to you will have an additional step)

7.Now goto phpmyadmin in your new webhost and import the database that you had backed up in SQL format in your desktop.To know how to import a database in wordpress goto http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup

8.Now using FTP upload all the files of your blog to the public_html folder of your new webhosting.If you are not able to use FTP,then just zip the folder using winzip or other and upload to your public_html folder.(You have to extract it after you upload it and then delete the zip file)

9.Now if you have created the database,username and password same matching to your old host skip this step.But if the database name is different go to your wp-config.php in your new host public_html folder and edit the database name,database username and password and save it.

10.Now go back to your domain name registrar and edit the nameserver settings and remove the old hosts nameserver for eg.remove NS1.BLUEHOST.COM ,NS2.BLUEHOST.COM and bring the New nameservers to the 1 and 2 position and save it.Now clear all your browsers cache and restart it and visit your website,it will be loaded from the new webhost.

11.Then go to wp-admin and re-enable all your plugins one by one.If there are any problems check all your chmod permissions for files from old host match with the chmod permissions in the new host,

Now you have successfull migrated your wordpress blog from one host to another new host,for me it was from bluehost to knownhost.

Sensehow migrated from bluehost to knownhost

sensehow — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 15:11:38 +0000

Sensehow.com is now in Knownhost vps server.Previously i hosted it in bluehost which on my view is the best shared hosting ever.I never had a downtime or other problems in bluehost.They provided everything readymade to me and i learned the basics of webhosting in bluehost.I also never faced a bandwidth problem even after consuming more than 10 Gb bandwidth for the past 2 months(from 4 of my sites).I knew i am over using their resources and should pack up to a new location.

Why i selected Vps In Knownhost?

I had several blogger blogs with a decent traffic.This month at 9th blogger deleted thousands of blogs for no reason and informing it as spam to the owner.My blog with 20,000,000 page views which i started in 2007 got deleted by their automatic spam detection bots.I tried a lot to get my blog back but it was of no use.Then i decided this is a good time to move my other 3 blogs away from blogger,(Now www.mobilewix.com).

Since bluehost shared hosting wont like me to migrate a high traffic blogger blog to them,i decided to go with virtual private server VPS to maintain all my websites under on account.I analysed number of vps providers before i joined knownhost,But finally selected knownhost because

*a lot of webmasters recommend it

*Very good reviews about knownhost vps

*Many high traffic blogs are hosted at knownhost

*And it has the cheapest plan VS2 for 512 mb ram,30 GB space and 750 GB bandwidth when compared to all other hosts like hostgator and dreamhost for vps.

How much did it cost?

I purchased vs2 plan since it allows installation of cpanel.So i had to pay,

VS2 PLAN: $35 PER MONTH

CPANEL : $5 PER MONTH

FANTASTICO INSTALLER: $1 PER MONTH.

So i had to pay a total of $41 each month.I got a discount of 75% for the first month using the coupon code “KH2010″ and i paid only $10 for now.

I have to say about knownhost customer support,I have never seen any host respond such faster like knownhost.Most of the time i got a reply within 1 or 2 minutes and they are always ready to solve our problem themselves.They are the one who migrated sensehow.com along with other blogs to knownhost within 2 hours.I had some problems after migration which i will let you know in the coming posts.

Many users have reported me of my blog loading faster after moving to knowhost vps.I have not yet learned all their facilities,but hopefully will do it within few days.Happy to let you know about a new step in sensehow.com’s growth.
