| Linglom’s Blog Maintenance |
If you visit my blog reguarly, you would noticed that my blog was downed last week on May 3-10. Let me tell in chronological style.
- On April 29, I have just realized that my account would expired on May 1 but I don’t want to renew the account because current hosting provider allows only a domain per account. And now I have more than a domain to manage so I have to move my blog to other hosting provider.
- On April 30, I ask support team of the current hosting provider to expand my account for a few days to complete transfer my data to Hostgator which is the new hosting provider that I’ll move to. They agree and enable my blog till May 4.
- On May 1, I backup and restore data to Hostgator. Now the hosting problem had been fixed.
- On May 2, I want to transfer domain registrar from my current registrar (OnlineNic) to other domain registrar (Netfirms) for management issue. Again, I ask support team for the code using to initiate the transfer.
- On May 3, I have received an e-mail from support team about the code. Then, I initiate the domain transfer.
- On May 4, I have received an e-mail from OnlineNic. It’s look like an automated system. They tell me that I have to wait 5 days and OnlineNic will transfer the domain. That’s means the transfer will begin on May 8 and my blog will be offline tomorrow until May 8. I decide to wait so that why my blog is downed about a week.
- On May 5-7, I take this change to upgrade and patch my blog and plugins to the latest version.
- On May 8, the domain registrar is transferred succesfully.
- On May 10, I point DNS server of linglom.com to Hostgator’s DNS server and put the blog online.
I have use Hostgator for 4 months now (hosting other website) and never face any problem. If you’re looking for a good place to hosting your web with economy price, I would recommend this one.
