One of the first things you got to do when you want your own stand alone blog is to go look for a web host. In the Philippines alone, there are a lot of web hosting companies that you can choose from and you have to choose carefully which web hosting company you wish to purchase from.
Personally, I only compared two web hosts. The only thing I compared between them is their prices. ^_^ I did not do enough research before making the purchase so I’m currently suffering from blog downtimes.
There are three things you should consider when looking for a web hosting.

Yesterday, I witnessed yet another downtime of my blog. This is the third time that I have experienced this. I think there might have been other downtimes that have happened in my blog but I wasn’t been able to see it.
I noticed this first when I went to visit Karlo.PinoyBlogero’s blog and noticed it was down. I then tried to access mine, it’s also down. I thought about this and for sure, this has become a problem for us. Although, Karlo warned me before I bought from this webhosting company, I still bought because of it’s very cheap price…
I realized, price is not the only thing you should look at when looking for a webhosting… So, what other factors do we need to consider? The answer will be in the next post…
Will I get sued if I name the webhosting company? hehe

I will now start with the technical details of doing some backups for your blog. This guide will be about generating a back up through the use of CPANEL.
This guide is useful only if you are on a paid hosting. If you are on blogger or on free wordpress then you should check out my blogger guide and my wordpress guide.
Requirements:
When you do a back up of your blog, cpanel creates a compressed file for you to download. You need winrar to open them if you want to see the contents. The compressed file has an extention of gz. So how do we back up? Read the rest of this entry »
