My Semoweb Experience!

May 30, 2011 11:16 pm | Leave a Comment - Posted by

No offense against Volumedrive, but because they still haven’t deployed my VPS after almost a week, I decided to purchase a budget VPS from Semoweb instead after browsing a bit in WHT. I found a good plan plus added a bit of memory to my RAM because I thought it would be better with at least 768 Mb of Ram, I do have 1 Gig burst of RAM :)

Moving on, their support is really great so far. Plus up time is pretty good, especially because I’m currently using Lighttpd with my VPS, I tried Apache but I had trouble setting mod_rewrite module plus it uses a lot of RAM! I couldn’t upgrade my installed WordPress as well so yeah, I tried Lighttpd and it was awesome.

As for some uncertainties, I asked support ticket regarding installations also with IP Tables and they reply back really quick about 30 minutes, like they did claim in their website and offers. Dustin, the owner seems to be a nice guy as well – one time, he answered my question regarding this software I wanted to install for security of my VPS. The dudes at WHT are also helpful, there are tons of experts there and I’m glad I’m a member because it makes it easy for me to ask questions, read stuffs that leaves me with new knowledge.

Now I’m planning to move some of the websites I’m currently hosting through Hostgator to my VPS, then I will be also getting a shared plan either from Semoweb again, or my other trusted hosts, Preston Host and maybe Host1me too! Depends on my budget and specific needs although I like Preston Host’s current new deal with their new server, Saturn. However, my funds from my client has not arrived yet. My paypal is empty LOL.

Anyway, so far my Semoweb experience is superb! I am still waiting for my Volumedrive VPS though, after all their VPS offer still have good specs as well which I want to enjoy. But I suppose it’s going to take another week~

I hope I won’t run out of slots? Anyway, I have setup my other domains as well and they have WordPress installed now particularly, Girly Nerd blog and Just Blogged.

In Girly Nerd I will be posting my VPS experiences or whatnots then on Just Blogged, I will simply post my latest updated blogs so my blog friends won’t be confused.

Annoying Email Spams

May 27, 2011 7:44 pm | 1 Comment - Posted by

Does anybody know who this jonn is? Well, see below, I can’t express my frustration of having 51 spam emails every twp days – good grief! But good thing Google handles them well, however, sometimes some of them get through their security so I see them on my inbox, piling.

My Wonderful Spam Messages.

It’s kind of annoying to erase as much at times. Funny thing though, I noticed I haven’t received anything through my Yahoo! Mail that got through spam, it’s very rare – as for my gmail accounts, there are always like 5 junk mails at the least. Well, whoever this jonn guy spamming me is, I wish he would get a life or maybe he’s not human but a bot.

Unmanaged VPS from Volumedrive

May 24, 2011 11:42 pm | Leave a Comment - Posted by

I am tempted to buy a VPS from Volumedrive. As you all know, on those nights I claim to “sleep early” there are 50% chances I am not really sleeping, but reading threads at WebhostingTalk.com and reading some posts at LowendBox.com/blog. The more I read, the more I am tempted to buy a VPS! But I can’t afford a Managed VPS which is more suitable to me. An unmanaged vps could probably save me more but the main problem is, where do I learn all of those things I need to because I will be starting from scratch!

Volumdrive.COM

I want to learn more about VPS, because I know you can do so many things with it! I wish I had somebody to teach me though, it would be great. For now though I still have to think over this matter. Maybe soon I will be able to decide. On my next post, I will tell you about the difference of Managed VPS and Unmanaged VPS – it might also help me more once I do more researches about it on working on my post.

Smart, Globe or Sun?

May 21, 2011 1:56 pm | Leave a Comment - Posted by

Actually, it’s supposedly only Smart and Globe – not that I hate Sun but we don’t have a good signal of it at home. If you’re totally clueless, well these three are sim card providers for mobile phones in the Philippines.

I told you before in my previous posts I was going to post about my incident with Smart and if you’ve been a reader you must have read the Smart Broadband problem I had. It seems like Smart Communications does not only fail with internet service but also with mobile services.

Some weeks ago, my boyfriend was not able to send messages to me for three days with his Smart Buddy sim card. Well, luckily he was able to borrow his brother’s sim card since he wasn’t using it anyway. We both had load to register for unlimited text service but he wasn’t able to subscribe due to the fact he couldn’t send a message, he could call numbers but not text them.

As far as I know, this is only possible to those who text a lot (who sends too many group messages) because some of my friends and classmates experienced it and say they were blocked. But this time, it sounded really ridiculous. The only person he texts a lot is me.

After some days of finally being able to send text messages, I too experienced the horror. For some reason, just after I loaded up my number with 60 PHP (just enough to register for unlimited text) I started not being able to send. It went on for three days, maybe two? On the third day my boyfriend shared me 2 PHP load for me to check if I was able to send messages. And yes, I WAS ABLE TO SEND! But when I checked my remaining load balance, I only have 1 PHP – thus, the only load I had was the load my boyfriend sent me. Now, where did the 60 PHP go? Well, it disappeared.

To my dismay I used my globe sim card for awhile since I have used it after not being able to send then my boyfriend also got himself a Touch Mobile (globe) sim card. I tweeted to Smart Communication’s supposedly twitter account my rant and then went on not really minding anymore since Smart just keeps on ripping off their customers. After another two days I checked my load balance finding out I was registered to unlimited text and it will be expiring in two days. I guess that’s what they gave in return for my load that disappeared?

Needless to say, I still wish to switch to another mobile service provider. My boyfriend also lost his sim card, yeah, funny and coincidental. I’m still worried about it though because I have been with my cellphone number since high school.

I’m losing weight

May 21, 2011 1:24 pm | Leave a Comment - Posted by

I lost weight! Although not that much. There are some nights that I don’t eat dinner because I lack the appetite and then there are times I haven’t eaten properly due to my teeth problems lately. I can’t say it’s good nor bad though because I really don’t know.

Some of my friends say I will lose more weight with diet pills that work though. So one of these days I might give that a try. However, I want to feel better soon first before I do because I don’t think it’s a good idea to push myself too much into losing weight.
