Indian Bloggers – Get Free Blog Hosting from Randomattic

February 5th, 2009 Links 9 comments (is that a lot?)

As this blog completes its 5 years this month, this is an offer for bloggers / Wanna-be bloggers who have their blog on a free host already, to have their own blog, upgrading from free hosting like blogger and wordpress. A personal blog is the next logical step for those kind of bloggers. And I want to support those who wants to take it.

For my blog, DDSOS, It was a long journey, and there were quite a few ups and downs. There was a free blogger blog that i used to have at http://ektz.blogspot.com and it was called Ramblings Reloaded. And then I moved it to ektapaneri.com with the same name. after a year, due to a certain shit-ass domain reseller I ended up loosing the domain, and stil couldn’t get it back. Then I decided to get a domain my self, here at DDSOS to represent my constant belief : Different Day, Same Old Sh*t.

So what is my offer?

I am going to provide, ad-free, with 99.7% uptime, unlimited server space to around 11 bloggers to set up a personalized blog, with wordpress as a publishing platform. if the blogger is doing the move from blogspot to wordpress, I shall also provide support and tutorial on how-to work with wordpress until they become okay with the process.

NOTE : I am providing free hosting, but domain name you will have to arrange for yourself. I can help you with that, but can not give it for free.

Why Am I doing it?

well, I am a Web Designer/Developer my self. And it was blogging which started me on that track, so now its time to give back to the community. I co-run a firm which resells domains and server space for websites here at Randomattic along with professional site development and re-design.

Who can get the free hosting?

Anyone with two criteria. One, they must be Indian and secondly, they should have a free blog hosted somewhere, that they are updating regularly.

How can you get free hosting?

well, hit me an email at ekta.paneri[at]gmail.com or reply here with a comment! will get back in touch with you.

 

What Kind of Soul do i have?

Rebellious
You’re a natural born trouble-maker. You hate authority and do everything you can to get around the law, or in some cases, break it.
Naturally stubborn, you hardly ever sway once a decision is made. Your nature is fiery and courageous, and always out-going. You love attention and usually have kinky fetishesyou’re not afraid to explore. People either love you or hate you.

 

How you can make money with blogging….

Disclaimer – This is a sponsored post.

This post is for the budding bloggers of India, to learn to be able to make some buck out of all that time they take up to write the blog and maintain it too. To start with, I was one of the early bloggers of India who started writing on a free platform of blogspot.com in june 2004, wanting to just give my thoughts the words. To pen down my ideas and writeup that would otherwise fill up 100 of pages in my diary. The blog to me, started as my daily journal of writing my sometimes non-sense ramblings, some intelligent quotes and in general, The person that I am.

Here in July 2007, I came to realise, I can get paid for what i love to do, write my blog. I realized the existance of payperpost. Its a genuine platform for bloggers and advertisers to come together and share the magics of world of blogging. So far I’ve just written a few PPP entries, which has successfully given me back the reward as promised.

well, in short, if you’re a blogger too, why don’t you try it out, and hopefully make some buck while u are blogging. Even its not about the money, but think of that extra cash. you can use it to host your own website and payoff your hosting bills, buy a domain, or professionally design your blog, or may be just at the end of the day go and spend it all on a movie plus pop-corn. in anyway, it seems to be worth it.

I’ll end the note, As I usually say, “Go figure”.

PPP Rocks.

 

Zml.com

August 18th, 2007 Links 1 comment so far

Site reviews. Normally I do not do them, until unless i’m exceptionally impressed by the website. Either the content/design or the idea.
In this case, I am a fan for all now. zml.com is a movie library site, where one can get Full length movie downloads for reasonably cheap rates.

As for the starters, this site has a good collection of movies. The database is well kept, yet the search option should get better refined, in my opinion. Anyhow, the movies are available in three qualities including PDA format. That is one thing i like the most about this library. I love to take movies along where i go, and PDA format movies makes it easier. Although the frame size is small, the quality is as good as it can get.

let me tell you, its not just that you can watch Cheap movies, you can ALSO download/watch the movies for free if you’re a blogger. how you can do that, well, you should go to their website and check for your self.

My experience with the site: I have so far downloaded 5 movies, in last 3 days times. Garfield, Sincity, Requiem for a Dream, The Corpse Bride, Shark Tale. the sign up for this site was fast and later on approval for the ‘blogger-reviewer’ account was done on time. Then it was an easy thing to just select the movie and start downloading. I started with Garfield. And the download was as smooth as direct p2p transfer. There was not a single moment of downtime, and/or the download stopped in between. For a 250 mb PDA version of Garfield the movie, took only 30 minutes to download on my broadband connection. How awesome is that!

Overall, the site rates 9/10 for me. Database should get bigger and search should get better, in my perception. Other than that, its one site i am bound to go back to over and over again, for you know how big a movie freak i am. :)

Ekta.
