Think Before You Decide On Your Web Host!

Thursday, October 22, 2009

The importance of web hosting is like the life and blood of your site. It dictates who, when, where and how fast they would be able to view your content since this would be hosted on their own servers. I am admittedly not hosting my own site because of constraints but I have a quite dependable web host and never did I experience any downtime as far as my sites are concerned. If you want to get the best web hosting company, then you must simply choose according to the feedback they get from their current clients. I wish it was like this for every single one of us; but I guess I was wrong.

I also am administrating on line communities for my Alma Mater that caters to students, faculty, alumni and supporters of the senior's Basketball Team. I am a diehard fan of the warriors and I adore the sport that much; but at the time that we had so much activity and posts on the site, it suddenly had some major downtime that we could not control. All the content recently uploaded were not backed up; so we were in some way was only able to recover only a measly amount of data off of what we had a couple of months ago. Imagine the amount of photos and conversations on games that were all lost because of that. It was a really hard lesson we learned and we were trying to pick up the pieces too. If we did not have that problem and if data was managed by the web host company we would not be worried about down times like that in the first place. If they only had the company I was using to host my site, then the forums would have been up the whole time when the game was going on. The difference is that I had information on top web hosting reviews. This is where most people attest to the quality of service these companies provide. At the web hosting top is my provider; they should have given my web host a chance to get the services by next year when their lease expires. It would really be a different story IMHO. That is also factual statement provided at B4UDECIDE so make sure you look it up!

The UE Red Tribe Celebrates!

Photobucket


It was a night when we forgot about the ill feelings we had towards the other team LOL. It was a night where we share what we have and enjoy each others company. It was a night where food and drinks were served in the premise that we would be able to bond and be more tight if it came to supporting our Alma Mater. It was a great night to reminisce what we have been doing this past season. Thanks also to the kindness of Conrad and his wifey we were able to hold the occasion on their love nest in Filinvest II Quezon City. It was really nice to see friends in a relaxed mood binging on food we brought potluck style together with the tons of chips and alcoholic drinks, there was no stopping the fun we're gonna have on this event. This was the time to celebrate camaraderie and the unexpected 1st Runner Up Finish of the University of the East Red Warriors.

Here are the highlights, check them out!



We did not care if they did not win the championship, we are still proud of their performance because nobody expected them to reach that far. With the heart that they put into every game, it was all worth it! I just wish they could have gone to celebrate good times with us but I think they were just too shy to do so. Anyway, until the next games Red Tribe! Until we meet again!

Awesome RPG for Free!

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

I have long been addicted to Role Playing Games since I was a kid. I do not know where it came from but when I got hold of the old NINTENDO console I used to play when I was in grade school I know it was not going to be the last one. Obviously other people from different parts of the globe would plead there must be something more than just playing 8 bit games... I was right because aside from the continued advancements in technology, there were other RPG stories that proved worthy of my hours in game time.

I have reviewed a lot of RPG Games already in my site and this one is really new. A word of warning though because just like other ones I have featured, this one is addicting. The setting is still medieval; where you will do quests, slay huge monsters; battle other players and much more. You level up each time you perform these tasks as experience points would be given when get more killed and accomplished with what is available in your arsenal. You can even enhance game play by purchasing weapons, armors, potions and spells just to make your character faster, higher and stronger. This is a web based on line game where you can ask your friends and followers to join so they would be able to do something on their spare time. But as I say, this is really addicting so I am sure everyone will get hooked even on their BETA release at http://www.algadon.com! Where else can you get free online RPG games in this day and age? I am sure you will easily get the hang of it!

Happy Halloween!

It seems that the season of trick or treat is fast approaching and I have been seeing kids wearing their creepy masks this early. I guess it is the hype that most American brands influenced in the Philippines that made this another reason to celebrate come All Saints and All Souls eve. I don't know if that accounts for more reason to do so but hey we have so many holidays already and businesses are not that well off because of the economic crunch. Anyway, before I drift off my original topic... I would like you to check out some shots I made for you this Halloween Season... Where and what did I take pictures of? Here, check it out LOL
