Before jumping into the hosting bandwagon here are the important things to consider:

Customer Service

Before deciding on the hosting plan you’re going to purchase you must know if the customer representative answers your query not just the marketing sales staff buzzing you to buy in their hosting. If you must, try first their service for free, most hosting companies offer money back guarantees.

Reliability

Your website and hosted blogs needs to be online 24/7 everyday, weekends and holidays no interruptions please! Problems do occur but not most of the time – remember hosting companies do perform maintenance jobs and that of course puts your site offline. Remember always contact their technical support hot line when your site is down. Prompt answers is always handy and it should not take on days.

Security

I had this painful experience with one of my site/s. The other was compromised – it was spammed and injected with unknown links and malware and the other was down for 3 days. (update your site using the latest builds of WordPress,  Joomla or any open content management of your choice)

Free Hosting

Free hosting is good but it has its own implications – there’s no quality assurance, less quality, no support at all.

Cheap Hosting

Is ideal for start-up individuals who have no technical knowledge, these hosting services are usually shared resources – meaning one server house a thousand websites can cause sites to slowdown and intermittent problems, bad neighborhoods spamming your site and even banning your site from search engine results.

Dedicated Hosting

Arguably the solution for serious webmasters and developers who demand power and performance driven. Sites hosted with this service is prepared for traffic spikes – digged effect and Slashdot proof, control over your cpu’s resources, dedicated ip’s, no competition with shared resources.

Any thoughts yet? have you chosen your hosting plans? I’m glad you’ll share it.

As time go by there’s this need to migrate to a new site to address such needs – Honesty our old site (http://mares.depedonline.net) was compromised it was spammed and injected to death with unknown links – we were hit hard by malware and trojans masquerading in our old site – I really don’t know if the hosting service has something to do with this – but according to them, they cleaned-up the whole site, but still the re-infection keeps on coming back.

So I decided that the old (http://mares.depedonline.net) now be moved to a new domain DepEd Mares (http://www.depedmares.com) giving me the freedom to freely manage and perform important updates related to hosting, domain management, patch updates, periodic security audits.

The migration went well somehow – migrated to a new Joomla 1.5.15 latest build, manually migrated files and installed security compliant plug-ins, modules and components (Be careful on installing 3rd party plug-ins, modules and components, they may cause some security breaches in your site, test it first before deploying.)

Aside from that we were showcased in a Joomla Education Community under the Pre-School category. We were new and we suddenly got popular!

We would like to thank the Joomla Moderators for making us in.

keep your fingers crossed..

The Cagayan de Oro Bloggers (CDO Bloggers) group is set to play host to the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, which will be held on October 24, 2009. With the theme, “Mindanao: Bag-Uhon Ang Panan-aw,” the MBS 3 aims to uphold the beauty and strength of the island and to expunge the negative notions the world has about it.

(Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao, Philippines – October 21, 2009) – It’s all systems go for the Cagayan de Oro Bloggers (CDO Bloggers) as they play host to the much-awaited Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, an annual gathering of Mindanao-based bloggers, IT industry experts, community leaders and new media advocates, on October 24, 2009 at Pearlmont Inn, Limketkai Drive, Cagayan de Oro City. Roughly 300 bloggers are expected to attend this year’s summit.

With the theme, “Mindanao: Bag-Uhon Ang Panan-aw,” (Changing The Way People See Mindanao) the event aims to uphold the beauty and strength of Mindanao, to highlight the diverse cultures and fascinating tourist spots that are uniquely Mindanao and to provide a platform where bloggers and other new media practitioners can discuss concerns related to Mindanao – all with the help of new and emerging technologies.

“Mindanao is the home of everything fascinating or in bloggers’ lingo – bloggable. Through the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, it is the hope of the CDO Bloggers, along with our partners and generous sponsors, that we listen to knowledgeable resource persons, meet other Mindanaoan bloggers, share and maximize all of our skills and resources and adopt tried and tested practices that can help us to fully promote Mindanao and for us to become better bloggers as well,” emphasized Chiq Montes, president of CDO Bloggers.

“Of course, we also want all of the participants to have a good time and experience the sights and sounds of Cagayan de Oro,” Montes added.

Montes said that apart from Mindanaoan bloggers, the summit will also see the participation of some bloggers from Luzon and Visayas.

Expected to grace the summit is United States Embassy’s new Deputy Chief of Mission Leslie Bassett, Atty. Adel Tamano, Agusan Lone District Rep. Rodolfo “Ompong” Plaza and Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Tinnex Jaraula.

Considered unprecedented in the Philippine blogosphere, a top ranking United States Embassy dignitary is set to deliver the keynote address. Bassett’s trip to CDO will be her first trip to Mindanao since assuming office in June. She previously served as DCM in Mexico.

“We are deeply honored. We’re certain that the summit participants will be delighted to meet her and we can’t wait for her to see our beautiful city,” Montes said.

Other speakers during the whole-day affair include Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Tinnex Jaraula, Agusan Lone District Rep. Rodolfo “Ompong” Plaza and Atty. Adel Tamano.

Google’s Philippine representative Aileen Apolo, whose talk will focus on beginners, Digital Filipino’s Janette Toral, who will discuss blog advertising and Lyle Santos, who will talk about making money online will also be present. Representatives of other blogger groups including those in Davao City, General Santos City and Zamboanga will also give updates.

After the summit proper, participants have the choice of joining either the city tour (Xavier University Museum, Cathedral, Divine Mercy Shrine, Opol Aviary, Limketkai Mall) or the whitewater rafting adventure.

Also happening on October 24, right after the MBS 3, is the Philippine Blog Awards – Mindanao awarding ceremonies.
