PinoyTux Update
Ok, my recent attempt to transfer my blog to another webhosting company obviously failed resulting to 24-48 hours downtime. The reason? I was unable to transfer the contents of my blog to the new host. Their server keeps timing out while I was importing my WP files, which includes posts, comments and categories. My blog is relatively small so I don’t see any reason for it not to import. Then thinking of doing the transfer manually, I copied the contents of my web directory followed by dumping my WP database manually in phpMyAdmin. Guess what? phpMyAdmin timed out while I was importing my dump file.
Deciding not to waste any more time, I switched back my NS servers. If only the new host allows me to setup my site even without using the FQDN, I can minimize the downtime. This kinda sucks but beggars can’t complain. The new web host also is banner-less, free hosting. This makes me think of hosting my site to an new paid web host.
I already have a paid webhosting company in mind who charges $1/mo for web hosting but if you have any other web hosting companies you would like to recommend, just let me know.
