I don’t know if over usage is the right word to describe the situation. What I know is, our account has been temporarily moved to cloud server. The rest of the words in the email is just too geeky for me to understand. Never mind as long as boyfriend understands it.

Because of that we have to put SimplyWP in maintenance mode for a while. We were given 72 hours to solve this (if I not mistaken) , otherwise we will need to go for (the expensive) dedicated server. Sigh.

But, the staffs at Lunarpages (our current hosting) has been quite kind to us. Now, cracking head to solve the problem. Sigh.

I am a blind man when it comes to hosting, so I leave it to the boyfriend (my superman , my webmaster). All the while we’ve been using this cheapo, probably the worse web hosting on earth called Galaxy Webhosting. We didn’t mind with the downtime, which happened quite often and without notice first, as long as our sites could up and run smoothly after few hours.

But yesterday, Galaxy Webhosting has just done the stupidest thing ever! Let’s flash back to 29 hours before this. I woke up, turn on my computer, went to my blog and saw a white page with this words:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: preg_match() in blablabla wp-db.php

Wtf? Fast forward, we managed to contact the support after so many hours of waiting. Like usual, the support always hide and cannot be reach when there was a problem or downtime. So kiasu, kiasi, gutless, no balls! And the answer was, they were testing on the new PHP5 (or whatever it is) hence every sites with PHP will be down.

Whoa.. They let the clients’ sites down just for the purpose of testing new PHP, very ‘smart’ act! What make it worse, they were still on the so called testing after 12 hours. Hoi, I need to make living from my blogs hokay? If it was down for almost a day, that means I will have to kiss good bye to the green paper. Who gonna pay my internet bill, phone bill, my shopping spree, etc, hah?

Anyway, this is a lesson to learn. Don’t ruin your life just because you want to save some money. Sometimes you get what you pay for. You know how good thing seldom comes in good price. There will be time you could get budget software at affordable price and good quality while sometimes no.

So, the boyfriend and I have been thinking to change to a better hosting. We thought, it’s time to change. But, all those top 10 well-known hosting is so expensive hence we were in dilemma of whether we should fork out the $100++ for 2 years hosting or not. Well, good quality thing never comes in cheap price, I am so stingy but I realize we need to invest for a better future. *full of dilemma*

Fast forward. While we were thinking whether we should settle with Lunarpages (unlimited bandwidth, unlimited space, $4.95/month which is more affordable compare to others) or not, the boyfriend received a come back coupon from Lunarpages. Woohoo! How can we say no and decline such a tempting offer? 2 years hosting – basic plan at less than $100 and it’s Lunarpages! *jump up*

The boyfriend has been working hard since last night to move our sites. We have 9 or 10, I’ve lost the count.

All the while I could only read about how good Lunarpages/Hostgator/Bluehost/(insert famous hosting here) are from others but couldn’t afford to buy one. Now I can say: finally I’ve moved to Lunarpages. *big wet eyes*

I have downloaded the vector pack since 3 hours ago and it is still unfinished. How to finish if the download rate is at 1500-2000 Byte/sec???? Normally it takes (the most) 1 hour to finish download a 40MB files.

What the tuuttt is going on with Speedy today? Don’t tell me my dear computer is attacked by virus hence the slow speed. Oh no, it can’t be possible… Or, maybe it’s Rapidshare?

Duh.. This is so killing me. I might need a blood pressure monitor one day if the download speed continues like this. I shall forget about dropping Entrecard for today. Sigh.

I’m glad that I brought the old Acer laptop with me or else I won’t be able to try the Beta version of Google Chrome until next week.

Google Chrome has to be the best creation of the year! *exaggerate* It looks so sleek, simple and clean. What I like the most is that it loads oh so fast that I don’t need to wait for ages for the entrecard widget to load. There goes my grumpy face while dropping Entrecard cause it loads very slow in Firefox.

It won’t lack too even when I open more than 10 tabs with lots of Callaway irons‘s images and other golf items’ images.

Go download and try it if you haven’t.

I have a good time here. The wind chimes is very relaxing and there is 24 hours internet connection compare to 50 hours package back home. Any Malaysian who complains that Streamyx is expensive and have a slow connection should try Speedy in Indonesia.

In Medan, I will write my posts in notepad first then only turn on the connection, post them and surfing. That’s one way to save, cause the 50 hours package = IDR.200.000. If I exceed the limit, it is IDR.1.500 per hour. There is 10% tax some more. -___-” My monthly internet bill is usually at IDR.350.000. At that kind of price, I can have unlimited internet connection at here already lo. Sigh.

Wondering when will the price of unlimited internet connection from Speedy decreased from IDR.750.000 to IDR.350.000 or lessen than that. *dream on*
