Making your web hosting choice

More and more bloggers every day want to ‘graduate’ from using free blog hosting provided by Blogger.com / WordPress.com and other similar blog hosting providers. Making a jump from a ‘managed’ environment to full-featured web hosting can be a daunting prospect for newbies. Web Hosting Choice makes this decision easier for such users. It provides comprehensive listing of web hosting providers as ‘Top 10’ and in further drill-downs in different specific categories of hostings depending on the type of technology you won’t or the usage you envision. ‘Learning Center’ on the same site provides basic information about the things that you need to keep in mind when choosing your provider. Especially worth noting is the ‘Scams‘ article in its learning center which lists common pitfalls of hosts who are not that reliable. (Of course, even a lot of the bigger web hosting companies sometimes go in for such marketing hyperbole.) You can even carry out advanced search to find web hosts matching the criteria you desire – such as price, bandwidth, payment methods accepted (important for some who prefer to pay via PayPal instead of credit card or cheque), technologies supported by the web host, etc. For regular updates, you can even sign up for their monthly newsletter on web hosting.

“Jaat Risky Aftar Wisky”

Call centre cab
"Jaat Risky Aftar Wisky"

I came across this hilarious slogan on a BPO centre cab on my way to the British Council Library. The picture is not that clear so just in case you can’t read what’s written I mentioned it in the image caption. Lest anyone start asking questions along the line of “How dumb can one be to admit driving under influence out his own free will?”, the call centre cab company in question also a listed a complaint number to listen in to valuable feedback on the effects of whiskey from fellow road drivers. To top it off, the Must Munda is virtual middle finger to any Bhith You, Phor You, Albej cops standing by and watching.

And guess what? This slogan beats the fucking shit out of ‘Blow Horn, Use Dipper At Night‘. Except when it comes to picture quality.
