Setting up Wordpress (Part 1)
Phew… Setting up Wordpress on my own is definitely not an easy task.
I started this project by subscribing a hosting plan. I googled (is Google a word?) and search for the best and most cost effective (a beautiful way of saying cheap) hosting plan I can afford.
I am looking for a Windows platform hosting plan. Why Windows? Why not Linux? Well… Besides running Wordpress, I would also like to upload web based applications which is written with ASP as the front-end and MS SQL Server for the back-end.
I found a forum, discussing web hosting services provided in Malaysia. They point out several providers based on their own subscribing experience.
“http://www.exabytes.com.my seems to be a good shot based on their website glamorous look“.
As posted by one of the members.
Yup. Their website does look good. But their pricing is way beyond my budget. RM 684.00 for 10 GB of disk space, registration of one domain name and one MS SQL Server database. Whooaa… that is a lot of cash.
“I’ve been using http://www.internet-webhosting.com for quite some time and I’m quite happy with their services“. Posted by another.
Their website looks familiar (I’ve seen this design on www.templatemonster.com). There is a small automatic scrolling text at the bottom left showing the latest 150 subscribers. After studying the offered plans and price, I decided to go for the PREMIUM PLAN of Windows hosting package. What catches my eyes is the list of features inside the package and it only cost RM 200.00 per year.
- Unlimited MySQL and MS SQL (Express Edition) database
- PHP 5
- Classic ASP
- ASP.net 1.1 and 2.0
- Free domain
- 10 GB disk space
This is really great. I can upload PHP and ASP websites and run it both at the same time. So, I quickly submit the application form and made my payment with Maybank2u.com.
Within an hour, I received an email from their support team with details on my hosting package inclusive of user ID and password.
To be continue…
