Move Hosting Again

I hate moving, virtually and in real life. The packing and unpacking activity is just too tiring and frustrating. But we can’t run away from it this time. Sigh.

It’s been a good 6 months of hosting our sites (mine and boyfriend’s) at Lunarpages until a month ago or so. There was over-usage and we have been moved to cloud server. Lunarpages has been so kind to give us time to lower down the usage so that we can get back to the normal server (whatever the name is), instead of kicking us out and leaving us homeless. :P

Although there is a constant messaging between the support center and boyfriend, but the over-usage problem still exists. We have done our best by cleaning up the sites and installing WP Super Cache plugin. Yes, it does lower the usage but not low enough so that we can move back to the normal server. So frustrating, okay? Especially since the support center keeps telling us about the new stat and asks how do we want to proceed from here, without really giving us a solution.

So, we thought probably Lunarpages can’t handle so many Wordpress sites. We have around 10 and are poor enough to upgrade to dedicated server (again, whatever the name is) like what Lunarpages suggests. Hence, we started to hunt for a new affordable ‘house’ (read: hosting) that can afford our need and decided to try WPwebhost, as they claim that they specializes in hosting WordPress-powered websites.

So, there we go. Move to a new hosting. Like in the real life (as in moving house), the packing and unpacking stuffs is done mostly by boyfriend. :P

Now, I just hope that we can stay longer in the new ‘house’ without the need to move out anytime soon. And, it would be oh so great if this blog is shortlisted under the top 10 modern&elegant category in Best WordPress Design Award by WPwebhost, cause that means I could stand a chance to win free hosting. Hehe..

    LOL,I know what you mean…enjoy your new “home” and have a great weekend:)

  • Ugh.. I guess I’m stuck with LunarPages for another 5 years (I extended it last year)

    So far it’s been ok with WP-SuperCache but I only have 1 blog on that hosting account. I guess 10 blogs with constant traffic put heavy constraints to the server O_o

    Hope WPWebHost is better although I still love being in LunarPages

      Actually we also have another 4 and a half years with Lunarpages. :P We bought 2 years and the other 3 years is the prize for winning their wordpress theme contest last year. Hehe.. We won’t cancel the account but leave it there. Sayang juga sih…

    Congratulations!!! Sounds like you blog is doing great and successful. And what’s up with these hosting companies? They always use this bandwidth crap to threaten us and shut us down without warning. It happened to me once, and I was devastated.

  • I hope your new home is better than the old one. Enjoy and have a good week ahead!
