Last month I decided to move on the new host for my Internet Online blog. The reason I want to move is my previous host doesn’t support some features that need for blogging although I am quite happy with the service and I really satisfy with their good and reliable hosting service.

At first, I moved to GeekHosting and I though I have choosen the good host. However, few days later, I do my regular login to my host and try to update the post. I was shocked to discover that my new host has hacked by some Turkish hackers. My friend Gobala also surprised to hear that and post about this problem. He has also highlight of important to backup your blog and show you the process to backup the blog.

Imagine you just change a new host for 3 days and this happened to you. Of course you will get frustrated and look like the new host doesn’t sound like a good impression to you. Immediate I wrote to them and ask for refund and close my account. They are indeed professional people and refund the hosting fee without asking much questions.

Without any much hesitation, I move on to get a new host which is my preferred host now. Within 2 days I am able to get it up and running. Later on, I spend few days as well to install my blog in between rushing for the project. Wordpress is an unique content management system, and there is a difference between blog and html site. Migrating your blog will be challenging work for you if you don’t know how to do it. Since this is my first one, I have no choice but go to search from the Wordpress Forum about the migration.

The lesson I learnt from here is, always choose the right host and do it right at the first time in order to avoid the headache part later on. The good news is, I have written the blog migration part and you can read it here before you start to work on migration. For your reference, I would suggest you choose Host Gator for blog hosting.
