Updated: Easier steps to enter the contest!

My birthday is coming on May 25th and Tech Conclave, my tech news show is doing great. In line with that, I decided to run a contest on Episode 5 which will be formally announced and commenced on May 15th and I will be giving away free Speedy web hosting and a domain name to five (5) lucky winners valid for 12 months! The prizes are sponsored by the nice folks at Top Hosting Center who gladly accepted my invitation.

I was very happy to know that my online friend Brad from Melbourne, Australia, finally got a web hosting account. Since 2006, he has been actively blogging using Wordpress.com’s free blogging service. He finally broke that record when he decided to purchase a Rudolf Mini hosting plan from Top Hosting Center. Now, he names his blog “Brad’s Blog” dot ORG and it appears crappy for the moment but will improve over time. It’s really weird for me because he chose to register for a .ORG than to pick another domain name (the .NET and .COM versions of his domain were already taken, which could have been better).

 I just had a quick search today about "Top Hosting Center" (known as THC) on Google to know the latest buzzes about the web host I am with. I’m currently using their Speedy hosting plan and so far I got excellent performance to this blog perhaps of the enhanced SEO effect of the dedicated IP address that it came free with. The results on Google search towards THC are mostly positive, except one thing — there was an emphasizing post written by Aahz, a current customer of Top Hosting Center, with his blog website Philaahzophy.com that was stumbled purposively on StumbleUpon.com. I am not sure if he meant to write it to tell the truth, or he could have written it just for traffic’s sake. I’m a happy THC customer, and based on my hosting experience, I could say this blogger is shooting blanks to the best web hosting company I could ever find nowadays  — and guess what — I’m not alone!

Most hosting companies around place on their front page one the following 3 things: a computer (server), a cheery girl or just a cheeky offering which usually says "You get 750 GB space and 7500 GB bandwidth". If you expect your host to look like this, just forget about Host Color.

Some people say they like the previous version of WordPress blog platform. Well, there are few reasons for me to believe that. I found personally the new WordPress version has few issues with my web hosting environment. Although in my previous blog post I said that the new features of WordPress are neat, the image upload issue I just discovered made me somehow upset. Fortunately, the customer support representatives of my web host, Top Hosting Center, quickly resolved the issues.  And guess what? They told me how they did it! Very excellent customer service and transparent indeed.
