Problem with your PLDTDSL Connection?

For the longest time, we were having problems with the intermittent connection of our broadband internet. At first we attributed it to my younger brother’s cheap Wi-Fi dongle. We were fine until the connection would be cut every thirty minutes, we were less productive and our downloads would return errors.

Upon doing some research, my other brother found out that PLDT was doing upgrades so maybe our line was affected and that our router may not be compatible to the new system. True enough when we try to just connect the main pc to the modem, it worked well.

So our next step was obviously to buy a new router. We also bought Gi a new and branded dongle. We settled for D-Link DIR600 after hearing good reviews. Now we’re connected 24/7 without interruptions!

If you are experiencing the same problem, then maybe you would like to check your router too :)

On webhosting

When my hosting (for the creative blog) was nearing expiration in June, I was thinking of getting my own hosting and add a few more blogs under my wings. But since I got pregnant, I thought I won't have time to manage more than two blogs anymore. And considering that I will have to learn a few things here and there about having my own account, I guess I won't have much time for that too. Nevertheless, I just renewed my account with fellow Bebot Amore and will just decide again next year.

I've been reading web hosting tutorials to jumpstart my project. Our current host is Hostmonster, so I'm seriously considering this, too. We've never had any problems and my site is never down. I admit I have a lot to learn (I didn't study computers at all, I am just a mere mortal trying to learn by myself, hehe) especially when it comes to online security. Security is a very big deal for me!

Well. Let's see where this learning process will lead me :)
