Free One Year Web Hosting, Believe It Or Not!

Is there such thing as FREE web hosting? When I was looking for web hosts to host my new domain, I was searching all over the internet and have asked everyone I know who run their own website and they told me to stop dreaming. They said that companies which offer free web hosting either will spam my website will advertisements on the front end and back end OR is so unreliable that I might as well consider myself without a website since it is perpetually down.

Well, all I can say is that I have bad timing because I just found out there IS free web hosting and it is provided by Easy CGI, and for one year to boot!

Lest you think that free can’t be good, I have been told that Easy CGI guarantees a 99.9% uptime. This already won over many other web hosting solution companies, don’t you think so? I bet many of us have lived that hosting nightmare at one time or another.

Easy CGI also offers 24/7 phone support which I KNOW will be most useful for people like me how know nothing about setting up a website or even blog. Moreover, there’s the knowledge base tutorial for easy reference. Easy CGI also provides web traffic reports which are rather important if we want to know the analytics of our traffic and browsers.

Another important factor of hosting with Easy CGI is its easy installation of internet’s major applications with just a few clicks. That would be great news for web hosting noobs!

What Kind of Blogger Are You?

I was at BlogThings.com looking for a quiz because I saw it on somebody’s blog but I got distracted with all the other interesting quizzes that I ended up doing them rather than the one I went looking for. By the way, I did not manage to find it!

So anyway, I did quite a few. I find that these quizzes are rather accurate if we are true to ourselves in answering the questions in the first place. So the quiz that I am going to publish to keep to the theme of this blog is, What Kind of Blogger Are You?

This is of course so true for my posts on my general blog, An Anonymous Journal. Only thing is, I wish that I have successfully made my posts as interesting as possible, yet sticking to the truth about my life and the people I come across.

So this is what it says about me. What about you? What kind of blogger are you?



You Are a Life Blogger!


Your blog is the story of your life – a living diary.
If it happens, you blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible.

Shucks! Do I Have To Do It?

Well, I’ve got bad news. My host told me that I will have to upgrade my WordPress. How do I do it? Where do I start? Sure, I have the link to READ and lest you say that I did not read the documentation, let me assure you that I did, a few times, but what can I do when my brains can’t make head or tail of the whole page? Is it my fault?

I don’t even know why I bothered hosting my own domains. Sure, it’s nice to have my own home online but then it’s too much trouble. I literally begged for help with customizing this theme. Boy, I loathe doing it but I had no choice.

And now this …..

Why isn’t there some place where everything is done for me and I just pay for my domain subscription and hosting plan every year? I don’t even need to know what WP version I am using or what security loopholes older versions have. All I have to know how to do is adding stuff on the sidebar and back up my data, that’s all.

Is there such services or not? Think of it as paying for an account with Blogger.com or WordPress.com. They do everything for us, don’t they? I am willing to pay a little more, if there is something like that.

Uggghh what to do? What to do? I really hate this :-(

I need to find someone I can entrust my user ID and password with. And the peoplewho are willing to risk their lives for me know nuts about WordPress. Ah… just my luck :-(

Instant Online Plagiarism Checking Service

The other day, I was fuming mad when I discovered that my blog post was copied in its entirety and published on the copycat’s blog. There was nothing much that I could do though, when my messages to her were ignored. I then became rather paranoid that there would be more than one case of plagiarism of my writings and discovered that I could actually very easily check out if there was anyone who copied my writing.

IPlagiarismCheck.com offers Instant and Online Plagiarism Checking Service at a low rte of $5 only. At first, I was thinking that I don’t really want my documents to be checked by this website because what happens to my confidential documents? Will it be read by the staff of IPlagiarismCheck?

Upon further reading the site, they assure us that our documents will be stores in secured servers are guarded and will never be shared with any party at all. That alleviates my fears!

IPlagiarismCheck has four different pricing plans to cater to people with different usage. As mentioned above, the starter plan is only $5 and then there is the student plan at $20, Advanced plan at $35 and a Super Saver plan at $65.

Did you know that we are not allowed to copy more than 5% of a document or that would be considered plagiarism? According to statistics, 95% out of the 75% of students who admitted to cheating on their papers did not believe that they would be caught, but ALL of them were caught. Really, it does not pay to get caught for plagiarism as it is a very serious offence and demands punitive action. There are also plenty of laws in place to punish these people so it is never wise to try to get away with plagiarism.

Now that I know of this service, I would be making use of it frequently to make sure that my work is not plagiarized. I have this fear that I will be the one accused of plagiarism instead of the real culprit.
