Web Hosting Blues

On March 29, 2009 in General Talk

Lets be honest, till today you still can not find the perfect host for you blog, website/online presence. I feel the same way too. It frustrates me at times. I can live with minor setbacks like downtime (not for hours please!) and such, but there’s this small thing that frustrates me even more with my current (cough!) webhost. They disabled the php ’send mail’ syntax, so that means you cant send me emails through the link up above, or i cant set up websites that needs to send a confirmation email to a newly registered user.

Now that pisses me off.

Stumbled upon this site which covers almost all (maybe) of the webhosting companies out there. I was impressed! Being webhosting geeks, i bet they can not resist putting up a table/chart thingy for the top 10 web hosting providers out there.

So what have i learnt from this new wave of information? Some providers charge a bomb for domain registration. While some had kick ass features for as low as $4 per month. Going to do more research on this. Currently im on a reseller plan at $XX per month. So i need the same features + the php send mail feature to be available, PLEASE!.

Well wish me luck. If you are in the same situation with me, why not head over to the web hosting geeks and do your own research, what’s hot and what’s not. See ya and have a great sunday ahead!

Step up your game

On March 29, 2009 in General Talk

This week on MrMalique.com, we talk about clinching that job in the current financial tsunami, how to elevate your skills and how to upgrade it…brought to you by our friends at K Alliance.

Are you jobless? I feel you. It’s very hard to get a job nowadays with everyone cutting cost and red tape and what-not. Why aren’t firms/companies interested in you, you may ask. Simple. ‘Cos there are millions out there with the same skill set, just like you. How do you go about that? Upgrading yourselves.

Lets say you’re a graphic designer who’s proficient in photoshop, illustrator and other imaging software. By having knowledge/certification in other mediums in your related field, you have stepped up the game, my friend. For publishing, you can take up online training for softwares like Quarkxpress or InDesign. Multimedia is the keyword this season. So fire up your web and multimedia interactive skills with online training at K Alliance.
Have you thought of taking up Dreamweaver and Flash courses? It could be your trump card in the next job application.

Ok, so maybe you own your own design business. You can also take up skills with online training in topics such as Business Etiquette, Innovation or even interviewing skills, if you ever need a helping hand for a couple of your projects lying around. There are an abundance of online training courses you can sign up for at K Alliance. Trust me, you’ll need it. Not now, not tomorrow…but one fine day it’ll come in handy.

So get your piece of the knowledge pie with them today. Procrastinators need not apply.
