Testing Mail2Blogger: Blogging by Email

In an emergency, there can be an urgent need to get the message across
to our readers. Lacking access to the blogger post interface, and a
computer with live internet connection, the Mail2Blogger is a cool
option which I can use to post via my mobile phone via a secret email
address. If you can read this on the blog, the email post just worked.

New Custom Domain - Status.Quickonlinetips.Com

Well this status blog is now at a new url http://status.quickonlinetips.com/

This is due to nifty Blogger feature called Custom Domains. Simply changed the CNAME setting in my domain DNS settings to ghs.google.com. and the site url has changed from quickonlinetips.blogspot.com to status.quickonlinetips.com

Knownhost is the Best Hosting Ever

Since we migrated to Knownhost, we are amazed by the amazing technical support. Knownhost comes with a lifetime hosting promo code and here are some tips to choose the right hosting package.

Migrated to Knownhost VPS Hosting

QOT successfully migrated from Dreamhost shared hosting to Knownhost managed VPS hosting today. Their excellent tech support has continued over the last few days with an incredible response time and is a major reason we are back online…

Moving from Dreamhost to Knownhost

QOT has had a longer downtime than expected. Dreamhost disabled our account without warning for TOS violation. We are still trying to figure how we violated the TOS, and would have done all to fix any issue we were unaware of.

We searched for a new managed VPS hosting service and were recommended Knownhost by many Twitter friends. So we are migrating to Knownhost and this has given us an opportunity to spread our wings on a VPS server, which will help QOT to grow beyond the restraints of shared web hosting. It costs more, but is worth the money.

The site has been down now for 4 days, in efforts to get our account back, get backups, find a new host, setup a new VPS, set up new private nameservers and now the site is in place and undergoing DNS propagation for over 24 hours. I hope Google gets our traffic back when we get back online.

We hope to be back online soon with tech tricks and blogging tips. We learnt a lot from this experience and cannot wait to share it with our readers. Lets wait and see all goes well...
