The great thing about bidding for an item rather than purchasing it for it’s original market price is that, if ever you bid for something at its minimum bid and no other bids were placed after yours, when the bidding time expires, you will get the item for just that amount. Interesting, isn’t it? Let’s say for example you bid a dollar on a five hundred dollar worth item, if the bid expires and you were the last to bid, you get that five hundred bucks worth of branded merchandise for just a cost of a dollar. So, why not start bidding for a cause today, and make the time you spend online worth it.

After having my web hosting subscription for almost a couple of years now, and even though I have had a few frustrations with them in the past, those reasons don’t seem bad enough to just give up on the so far — most reliable hosting provider that I have had in a few years of my web presence. I have been with may other hosting companies in the past, and was left unsatisfied with the whole experience.

I have been busy reading and searching for reviews and feedback to serve as a tool with my decision-making, and I guess after reading the review from wpdesigner.com about bluehost, I have decided that I’d like to retain the service. I consider this a big factor, since I am also running my site on wordpress, and if a wordpress expert suggests that in fact, I am currently with the topnotch web hosting service provider, then it must mean, I have actually made the right choice.

Usually, it takes too much before you make a decision in choosing the next company to trust, and we seek advice or recommendations from both experts in web site hosting, developers, and end-users just like you. You take into account the success stories, the ratings, the feedback, and you read each and every line just to make sure that you will be doing the right thing, and you will be making the right decision prior to purchasing a new subscription.

There is nothing wrong with that, in fact, it is a big sign that you are on the right track. Choosing the right web site hosting company to trust is definitely a big deal, most especially if we talk about making money online, promoting our business, or trying to provide service to many clients online. Having frequent downtime is such a no-no, or having errors due to limited bandwidth or web space.

There are more things to consider aside from bandwidth and space, and all these you can check and find at webhostinggeeks.com — a great resource when it comes to web site hosting reviews, feedback, web site hosting ratings, comparisons, etc. A great tool that could provide help when it comes to choosing your next ‘web site hosting’ provider.

I invited a friend to sign-up. We tried to figure it out at first.  To test if it works, I played a match with the computer first and then we finally got to figure out how to play against each other. We played a few rounds of 8 ball game for a bit and it was fun.

The billiards table simulates a real one and the interface is pretty simple, but I like it that way.  However if it is your first time you may get a little confused on how to control it, but after a few hits you will finally get to control the  game, the strength of your strikes and hit the ball right.

For a free game, it is very good. You  can talk to the people inside the room through chat too, which is cool. If you want to spend some time with your online friends, you can chat while playing billiards and have fun.

But just recently, after updating my windows operating system to Windows 7, I felt that perhaps it’s time to give IE a chance, and I must say, the current version may not be as impressive as my Safari browser, or as fast, sleek, compact, and promising as google chrome, at least it is so much better than the previous versions.

I beg to disagree mozilla saying “IE is so 2006,”  coz honestly, it’s currently working like a gem, and it’s so much faster than the buggy current version of Firefox. I am just hoping that it doesn’t have as much security flaws as the previous versions, because I am on the verge of giving up on firefox for the same reason. I want to use IE8 instead of the bleeding firefox.

In fairness to the latter, it was the best browser last year and the previous. If only they continued to be, but recently, firefox sux! If firefox  didn’t have the plugins I need, I would’ve removed it a long time ago, most especially with the frequent crashes, after installing the updates.

I hope IE 8 continues to work fine, otherwise, I will have to hide it in the closet again, and just use chrome and safari.

Right now, I am trying to view and read webhosting ratings and reviews at webhostinggeeks.com, they are a great webhosting wiki for everyone interested in finding a webhosting. Hopefully I would get to decide which webhosting company could provide me with the best service,  before the time is up for renewing my current hosting.

Currently, immotion and justhost are bagging competing for the top position in their top ten webhosting for 2009 chart. The two web site hosting providers vary in price. The latter provides free domains forever, unlimited domains hosting and some marketing bonus for a very amazing value of 3.95/mo, while immotion promises top technical support and choice of data centers, for more than twice the price.

The ratings are pretty close, that it’s making it hard for me to decide. Should I go for the cheaper one? I’m just glad that there’s webhostinggeeks.com to provide all the info I need. I guess I should read some more reviews. Ciao for now!
