TypePad reviews please! - Hi everybody! I've been looking at Typepad.com recently as part of my ongoing researches. At the moment I use Blogger.com (both remote and self-hosting blogs) and Wordpress.org (self-hosting), but I must admit I like the look of Typepad and would be willing to pay for the professional service. I've read about the pros and cons of the various services and am attracted to the Typepad model, but before I take the plunge... I wonder if anybody has any experience of using Typepad, and if so, I'd like to read your comments on this thread. Thanks! David H
Re: Alert to Forum! - I am not sure if they have target. I know of a hosting company site that has been hacked that all the sites hosting on that hosting company cannot be accessible anymore for now. But we just have be at alert. Cheers!
My preferred Online Hosting - I've been using Dreamhost.com and love it and their service is quick and accurate. What's also great about them is the longer you are a customer with them they increase your bandwidth for free - but for a simple site this won't be an issue. I've created a Promo code for any one on this forum to use for any of Dreamhosts plans where you can save $32 for the first year and get 1 FREE "lifetime" domain registration of your choice (this is in addition to the free domain already provided in the hosting plan). To get this Offer just use Promo code 'SAVE32' (without quotes) before checkout.
Outsourcing - Hi Garth Thanks for the website; this is a good price for hosting service.
Re: New Google Tool Makes Websites Twice as Fast - I was reading an article on the pros and cons of shared web hosting. One of the cons was that it was a lot slower than say, a dedicated sever. So, I was wondering for those of you who are on a dedicated server, have you experienced faster load times compared to when you were on shared hosting? Would love to hear your input on this. I eventually plan to move my sites over to dedicated hosting, so any thoughts and overall input on how you like it would be great. Thanks!
