Web Hosting
As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I am looking for a new web hosting service to keep my files and host this blog. My current web hosting service provider isn’t up to the standard.
Well, who can expect much from an extremely cheap web hosting service?
I think these months are the right time to make a move to a better web hosting service which is still under Budget Web Hosting category. I found Web Hosting Buzz after googling for a while and compared a dozen of web hosting services out there. I narrowed down my choices with several criteria such as price, reliability, and technical support. There were still a few in my list until I decided the final one because of this unique reason: Carbon Neutral Hosting.
So… yeah, i have decided to take that. 
I’ll post the announcement when I get my new web hosting+domain. Hehe…

You see, don’t get hosts that sells 300GB of space. Its pretty useless. They’re overselling.
Go for hosts that offers something smaller in space, for the same price. Get enough for what you need.
I recommend SparkStation. They’re located in Singapore and provides somehow 99.9% uptime. So far, they gave me good support.
=)
P.S I get nothing for recommendation. =p

Hello NanYou!
There were a few web hosting service offering similar features with equally cheap monthly fees. That ‘carbon neutral hosting’ is the only difference between webhostingbuzz and other services, which is the reason why I mentioned webhostingbuzz as my preferred (and probably) future web hosting service.
To put it simple, the company is doing (and will continue to do) actions to protect the environment. A quote from their website:
“We are investing in a number of tree plantation projects at present, and will continue to invest over the course of the next 5 years.”
When there are two books with equal quality and price, one made of recycled paper and the other one from the trees, I would rather buy the recycled.
