Web Hosting Geeks

I had been recently upgraded to PR3 by Google, ha~ After few years of blogging finally.

However, when I search through PPP for suitable opportunity post, I hardly get a satisfy one, because most advertiser will target blogs or websites with a proper webhosting, not blogspot, wordpress those kind.

I recently came over this site, http://webhostinggeeks.com , which is a central service that write review about other webhosting, like their quality, price, features, all neatly arrange into tables.

Besides, all reviews are also categorize into multiple categories, like Best Blog Hosting, Best PHP Hosting etc. This make people who who has suitable hosting category to make up their mind easier and faster. On their blog, customers can get useful tips too.

Maybe I shall consider changing my blog into www.vhanded.com~

Compare Web Hosting List with No Fear~

"VHanded.Blogspot.com" has been used for almost 2 years, and it works well to me, not until when my visitors increased, and I feel like she need a new domain name~

What name shall I gave her?
Despite that I love this current blogspot subdomain name, I may continue to use VHanded as my new domain name, if I happen to register one, make it www.vhanded.com? HAHA.

But to have your domain name, then I shall have my own web hosting too, to host all my pictures, videos, music, flash applications, java applets, etc. Some of it can't be hosted on blogspot, sad.

There are many factors to consider when choosing web hosting, like price, service stability, storage size, bandwidth, and more. But there are so many web hosting in this world, how to make comparison?

Lucky there is a new site, call Web Hosting Rating, which the site will collect other web hosting services in one site, and make comparison for each aspects, like best budget hosting, best blog hosting, best forum hosting and a lot more.

For web hosting that not yet on the web hosting rating site, they can submit to the service and make comparison with other web hosting too.

Lazy people like me, this is a gift! I don't need to Google around and make comparison one by one anymore! Thanks Web Hosting Rating!

Free Inmate Record

The first time I saw this word, Inmate, is in Prison Break series. It means the people who went in prison.

Sometimes we just need to check the people around us, see whether they are in prison before, we know this may be not fair to them, but sometimes for some important decision making, we have to.

By using federal inmate search, we can get the record of inmate in United States, from all states, all cities, all prisons, just a click away. This database is free.

Loan loan loan....

When the time I choose my campus and course to continue my tertiary education, I knew that I cannot rely on my parents for the tuition fees, which is too high and will become a burden for them, so I decided to take loan.

During choosing the right loans, I learn a lot of facts. Some loan provider can provide very high amount of money, but with high interest too. Some practice the opposite, but will have a lot of terms and conditions...

How to get Cheap loans? Of course need to survey around, and make comparison. A lot of lenders provide Unsecured Loans as well as Homeowner Loans, so, choose the right one before you taking the loans, so you won't be in serious debt.

To cover my floor.

I don't have a garage.

However, I do have a small working space, which is enough for me to have my dinner, bed, 3 computer tables, and a lovely swivel chair.

The problem is the swivel chair's wheels, which will get stuck easily, as the floor is dirty always, (although the main reason is because I lazy to clean).

Getting a garage flooring in my working space, I think is a good idea, first make me feel cool during working, and it's easier to clean than concrete floor.

For the design, I think a bright tile looks nicer in my small space area, at least make it look spacious.

Regarding Mortgage .

During the ancient China, poor people take their valuable stuff to mortgager to borrow some money, but there is a period to claim it back, or the property will be taken. That time, without a proper law and rules, many people always got cheated by pay very little with a valuable thing mortgaged.

Now, with all rules and law defined, mortgage become a security to the lender, so both parties can do their business with the sense of secure. Not only China, but all around the world, like UK also using mortgage for security.

However, as time goes on, mortgages and deals may change considerably, so some people consider remortgages to save money on a cheaper deal. If you are taking loan and facing an imbalance deal, why not consider remortgage?

Why do I need a garage?

In Malaysia, we seldom park our car in garage, in fact, we don't have a garage, but just instead park it at the road side, or in the garden area.

So, if I got a garage, what I will store inside? Maybe my old computers. Since I am a computer lover, I have a few old PC, ranging from Intel Celeron with 300Mhz to AMD K-6, with 16MB RAM too. That's is so antic until I don't want to throw it, but I got no place to keep it too!

With a storage solutions, I can dump all my antic PC in there, with a small amount of rental.

After the exam , is holiday again!

These days I feel so stress, so many tasks need to do, and the exam is coming next week. Someone, please help me! However, when think about after the bloody exam, will be a long long 3 weeks holiday! Wow!

Is about Holiday trip again!
Em, since my budget going low, I don't want to plan for those oversea's destinations. People said, Malaysia is small, but I never explore 80% of it yet, like Kelantan, Tioman Island, and many more beautiful and relax destinations awaiting. May consider about it.

Lucky, Hotel Reservation is here, everywhere.
Since the growth of Internet, everything is becoming so simple, checking holiday destinations, holiday packages, trip rates, all in just 1 click. Hotel Reservations is providing this kind of service, to provide an easy and relax way to book hotel, to prepare transportation to destinations like air tickets. Not only can get me there, it also get me to travel every corner of the destination by helping me to rent a car! And this service is not only available to US or UK or any big nations only, it's available to the whole world.

I hate Tourism Guide.
Usually I don't like to follow the holiday trip, as the trip will move fast, and I will only have the chance and time to take some photos, that's all. If I go with friends and rent a car, then I can explore myself to every corners, not to follow the Speedy Guide and walk around, snapping photos like nuts!

Em, since I watch the movie Summer Holiday by Richie Ren(not a new movie, but very nice scene) that taken scene in Redang Island, I feel like visit there. After search through the website, it returns a Primula Parkroyal, cost USD 147, which is RM 500 per day. For a 3 stars hotel on a tropical island, that is a reasonable price, as not much accommodation can be found there, and it's 3 stars hotel!

Nice, Nice.

Hotel Reservations do have a lot of features that you never imagine, visit there and try it out!

PayPerPost resend the money to me!

Previously, I wrote a sponsored post entitled Get Paid to review my post at my another blog. Very happy when first received the payment from PayPerPost, to my PayPal account.

Need to Verify!?
However, that time I just realized that I need to verify my PayPal account as I am an international PayPal user. So I spent almost 4 weeks to apply a PB Bank Visa Electron, after I received the inform letter, I quickly called to PB service center to collect information for my card, like pin numbers and so on.

Another unlucky thing happen. Public Bank's connection with PayPal is facing an offline error, and the fixing progress still work until today, since 19 April. Means that I can't verify my account too.

My First USD10 gone!
Because I already exceed PayPal 30 days payment accept/deny period, so the fund was returned to PayPerPost. That time was so sad, my first money from Internet gone like that... Suddenly, I thought of request it again from PayPerPost.

PayPerPost resend the fund to me!
This morning when I check my mail, ha! Mails from both PayPerPost and PayPal in my mail! I quickly read through it:

Thank you for contacting us.  Your $10.00 payment has been reissued to your PayPal account.

Yes! Now I am now again USD10 richer! Thanks PayPerPost to resend the fund to me! See my previous post about I am USD10 Richer.

Yes! Now I am USD10 richer!

Yesterday night, I sign in to my Gmail, and I saw 2 mails from PayPerPost. I feel so excited when I saw the title of the mail: "PayPerPost pay out opportunity_post 69284".

Yes! I have received my first payment from PayPerPost! 30 days ago, I wrote a post about "Get Paid to Review Me", and after published for 30 days, I got my first USD10 from blogging! The post is at my first blog, The Fifth Dimension.

Now another problem...
I quickly log in into my PayPal account, and saw the unclaimed amount. Without hesitate, I just click on the "Accept" button. But, that's not that easy... I need to have a Credit Card account so I can accept money... Before PayPerPost pull back the offer in 30 days, I had to figure out how to get that money...
