Thinking of ‘upgrading’ my web experience ;) ~ 22.01.10

Oh, I’ve recently pondered over the possibility to buy another domain, and get a web hosting account from Blue Host or a cheaper reseller. I’m not getting rid of Phinkable of course! Nothing and nobody will ever take me away from this domain! It’s just that I feel the need of some changes, since I’ve been using only Phinkable as my online corner for years, and I want to try some other webhosting experience too.

I’ve spent the last few days reading web hosting news on webhostinggeeks.com to get an idea of what I might be looking for. It seems that many people prefer InMotion and IPage because they have unlimited features for less than $50 at year, which is not bad at all! But I don’t know, that is still out of budget for me so I guess I should look for more options before coming to a final decision. I will keep these two provides – AND BlueHost – in my list though, in case I can’t find anything to suit my needs and pockets.

What about you?
Who’s your current host?
Is it on a shared hosting or a reseller account?
Or master reseller?

Sorry, so many questions, but I like to receive feedback on my entries. It’s also a way to consider more options, perhaps hosting providers that I’ve never heard about or that I haven’t found listed on hosting reviews yet. So, any suggestions? ^^

I’m thinking that if I really get to afford this second domain and hosting, I would share it with my darling boyfriend Megatron. ^^ He loves geek stuff, and he loves web design and hosting; I’m sure we would be a good team as we work on the site. We could also put up a small hosting business, right? With free hosting too of course, ahah.

But now, I’m dreaming too much! Let’s allow our pockets speak first. LOL. See ya soon!

Our little SEO experiment :P ~ 01.07.09

Hello people! Yep, I’m so loving to be blogging often again. YAY! So let’s see, I’ll start with telling you about a research my boyfriend, my sister Ambry, her boyfriend Ironhide and I are doing to improve our blogs SEO. Hehe. Yeah, you heard it: we’re trying to learn as much as possible to make sure our blogs are more easy to find for fellow bloggers and any kind of potential readers, because you know, a blogger always looks for new friends. ^^ So, we started with submitting our blogs and personal sites to a SEO friendly web directory that Megs found during his search engine queries: MaxDirectory.eu. This is a very nice one with a lot of SEO potential, but we didn’t disdain the so famous DMOZ.org of course : this is like the king of directories, so how could we skip it? Then we’re going for a directory that my sister Ambry found just this morning, Jasmine directory, and then the Yahoo Dir. too. So you see? We’re getting busy with our little SEO experiments. Do you use any directories to improve your blogs and sites visibility? I think that that’s a really good idea after all. When it comes to blogs, I also suggest MyBlogLog.com with is affiliated with Yahoo, and BlogCatalog.com, as they’re the most used by bloggers, and thus it’s easier to get visitor traffic from those. But yeah, ALL web directories are useful to get traffic. Even if they have nofollow: nofollow attributes don’t blog traffic, but just PR, so it’s still good to get visits. ^^ Ironhide and Megs are also 100% sure that we’re going to have our blogs get a lot of notoriety in this way, and well, I fully trust them about this. I’m happy I could drag my sis Ambry into this experiment too, because she’s still a newbie to the web. So, what do you think? Please share your tips & tricks. Thanks!
