Success

After about 2 days of my website being down i have finally got it working now. it was really annoying me i hadn't a clue what had happened. I had recently bought new hosting from a different provider, i was using GoDaddy but i am now using Lunarpages.

When i signed up for the hosting on Lunarpages apparently they did not set my account up properly, this caused me to not be able to transfer my files onto my server using FTP or by using there Control Panel, everytime i tried logging in it said 'Login Failed' saying that  my Username and Password was wrong! So i decided i would contact the tech support and they quickly fixed my problem, they told me that my account was setup wrong so they ended up changing me a different server, i didn't care which server i was on once it worked.

So it is all working now, so i am happy :). I have definitely noticed the difference on this new hosting account, i find that my website loads much faster and it does not jump when scrolling down the page, i dunno what was going on with the GoDaddy server but i would definitely not recommend using it, i would recommend using the Lunarpages hosting.

I also got a great deal on my hosting, i signed up for a years hosting and it only cost me €28.88 ($45.40) which is unbelievably cheap! It was supposed to cost me $95.40 but since i managed to get a hold of a $50 discount i was happy, really cheap hosting, i payed about $35 for my 3 month hosting with GoDaddy and managed to get 12 months of hosting with Lunarpages for only $45.40, definitely cant beat that.

Farewell To WordPress!

I have just begun designing a new website layout for this website. I decided I would use basic html and adding some spry effects. This site will soon no longer depend on wordpress. I find that wordpress is great but I prefer to have the complete freedom of coding html myself. I will definitely miss all the great plugins that are so accessible to wordpress, but that’s not to say they are not available for html, they are but they are just harder to implement.

Wordpress will remain on this server for the next while as I intend on making a complete revamp to this site and by doing that it will take a long time.
