Webmasters / How To Move Your Blog To A New Hosting Company by xroad: 9:24pm On Jan 27, 2013 |
http://artwales.biz/how-to-move-your-blog-to-a-new-hosting-company/ So you finally decided to move your WordPress blog or site to arthurwales.net but you have no clue how to go about it. Or maybe you do but you find all this database thingy a bit tricky. And perhaps, that has been the only reason you have stayed on with your present hosting company even though their services sucks. These scenarios sound familiar to anyone? It is funny how easy the process of moving hosts is, no thanks to the “geeks” that paint the whole process as nigthmarish, using “geek speak” to describe processes that can be explained in simple (Nigerian) English! The procedure may differ slightly depending on the control panel you are using. cPanel is probably one of the most common and the easiest to work with, however the underlying principles is the same with all control panels. At arthurwales.net, we have migrated, successfully, websites from even open source control panels like Virtualmin and ISPConfig. For this purpose, we would assume you are using cPanel. Here goes … Subscribe for a hosting account with arthurwales.net. On subscription, a mail will be sent to you titled NEW ACCOUNT INFORMATION which will contain your server account details and the login information. Also contained in this mail are two important URLS in the form http://174.122.148.***:2082/ (Temporary Control Panel URL) and http://174.122.148.***/~rztiartt/ (Temporary Webpage URL) Log into your cPanel Using your Temporary Control Panel URL and use Fantastico or QuickInstall to install WordPress. Perform all necessary updates. Create a backup of your website and download to your PC. Do this by logging into your old cpanel – under FILES, click BACKUPS. Under Full backup, click “Download or Generate a Full Website Backup”. Save file to your Home Directory, then copy to your PC. The backup file is usually in a compressed format. Use an application like WinZip or Winrar to extract the content to a folder on your PC. We will call this extracted folder “BACKUP” folder. In the BACKUP folder, look for a file with “BIZ_DIR” extension. It is usually the largest file. Change the extension of this file to “ZIP” and extract to a folder on your desktop. Navigate to the folder “public_html”. Select and Upload the entire WP-Content folder from your old host and overwrite same in the public_html folder of your account with your new host – arthurwales.net. Go into your new hosting control panel and find out how to get into phpmyadmin. Once you are in phpmyadmin click on your database name on the left. Click on the “Import” tab on the top of the screen. Under “File to Import”, browse to the BACKUP folder and look for a compressed file in the format domainname_mysql_domainname. Select it. This is your mysql backup. Click the “Go” button at the bottom of the page. With this, you have successfully imported the database from your old blog. Now go to your new blog using your Temporary Webpage URL and it should let you in it, then login with your username and password from your old blog and then your all set, your blog should work the same as if it was on your old host. From your domain registrar admin panel, change your nameservers to that of the new host: ns1.arthurwales.net and ns2.arthurwales.net Migration of your blog is now completed. Easy ain’t it? This method guarantees NO downtime to your blog. The tutorial above on moving your website to another host is probably the easiest approach you can ever get. However, if you still find it difficult wrapping your head around it,or you would rather not take the risk so that you don’t break something, please sign up for our premium support on arthurwales.net. It is going for a promotional 50% discount price of N15,000.00. We will take care of all your web hosting scary stuffs and much more! arthurwales.net … “So, why don’t you host with us?” |

Hosting is no different. Everywhere you turn nowadays, there are countless web hosting companies just a click away. How do you sieve the wheat from the chaff? And how do you separate those who are only out to make a quick buck from those who are in it for the long haul? Beyond the glitz, razzmatazz and the fancy words, it is a difficult task. Really, it is like a jungle out there and the consumers are at the receiving end. But where can you get quality web hosting?

Technology Market / Refurbished Devices Are A Good Deal – Buy Them! by xroad: 3:38pm On Jan 09, 2013 |
http://artwales.biz/refurbished-devices-are-a-good-deal-buy-them/ When some people see the word “refurbished” placed in the title of a device, their immediate reaction is to avoid the item like the plague, not knowing all the differences between a refurbished and new device. People sometimes confuse “refurbished” or “repackaged” devices with used ones. There’s a huge difference between the two. If you shuffle past something that’s refurbished, you’re missing out on a great deal. Buying refurbished material isn’t the same thing as getting something second-hand. Let’s examine the differences between a refurbished and new device and open our minds to new, concise information about the refurbishing process. What Is A Refurbished Device? Anything that’s “refurbished” means that it’s been returned within a certain period of time by the customer to the distributor. The distributor repackages the product and sends it on its way to a special shelf where refurbished materials go. This is not to be confused with a “used” product!! Anything that’s described as “used” has been in the possession of the customer for a long time. Refurbished products often aren’t even opened and are returned because of an error in the transaction. Let’s say some guy clicks the order button twice when buying a 400 GB hard drive. He gets two of them at his house and returns one of them because he didn’t need it. That’s usually how the refurbishing process begins. The store has no choice but to sell it as a refurbished product since it was already ordered, therefore reducing the price of the product. The reduction could be a sum just shy of what it cost before or something more significant, depending on how many days this product has stayed in the hands of the customer. It Gets More Complicated: Manufacturer (Factory) Refurbished vs. Store Refurbished A store-refurbished device is simply a unit that wasn’t sent back to the manufacturer for repackaging. It means that the store has reason to assume that the product isn’t damaged in any way. The store sells the product at a lower price with a short warranty usually lasting 30 to 90 days. A manufacturer-refurbished device is one that was sent back to the manufacturer for quality control inspection before repackaging. In this case, the device will be sold with a long warranty, if not a full one. Warranties could even exceed a year if the manufacturer refurbishes the product. This is the safest bet and gives you a significantly better deal than a new device. So, Why Not Just Buy New? Well, you can buy a new device. That’s the safest way to make sure that you’re getting your money’s worth on a product that hasn’t been shipped and handled a load of times. Also, you get the fullest warranty and support package you can get. But if you’re strapped for cash and want to save a bit of money, you can buy refurbished models. Just make sure that you get a manufacturer-refurbished product. Store refurbishing is more of a gamble. Also, new devices still come in the pretty box they originally shipped out of the manufacturer in. Refurbished models rarely give you this privilege. The Final Run-Down While manufacturer (factory) refurbished products are not common in Nigeria with only a few online sites like geekstore.com.ng offering such for resale, it is very popular in the US. So, if you want to buy a refurbished device, remember that while store-refurbished devices might cost less sometimes, they’re more of a gamble. Manufacturer-refurbished devices give you the guarantee that the product has been inspected by an expert in its manufacturing process. New devices still offer you more advantages by giving you a device that hasn’t been shipped back and forth (hard drives are delicate). Another plus is that you will always get the best warranty. The decision between a refurbished and new device is ultimately yours. Refurbished devices are often just as good as new ones. The risk is minimal. 1 Like |
