Yeap, I just moved to another host, this time, I wanted to test BlueHost for a year or maybe 2 years. It’s like a trandition already, that I move hosting every 2 years on average. Which is good, because hosting provider did get busier and upgrade their premium cusotmer than small potato like me.

With so many moving host, I got some experience on moving host wihtout causing downtime. Seriously, just some trick will do. Here are some few steps you’ll need to take. Now this is an advance and cheap but time taking steps, you can always opt for a plugin to do all these though. But I like to get my hand dirty.

Step 1:
Backup (to restore). Essential folder like the theme you use, plugins/, uploads/, oh and .htaccess file.

Step 2:
Go to phpMyAdmin to get the database.

Step 3:
Create/install new WordPress on your new host. Restore all the folders you have from your backup. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAME SERVER YET!

Step 4:
Import the database to the new host.

Step 5:
Add the new host name server with your current one.

Domain propagation should take a few hours only. So be caution before you delete your old nameserver. Keep the name server intact first and check www.whois.sc with your domain. Once it stated all 4 name servers, you can start delete the old ones.

Moving around 10 WordPress sites per host migration, these steps become as simple as a symbol barcode scanner for me to point it to an item. However, it is really time taking though. That’s why I did it at my free time

Creative? Or not?

Hungry – having a desire, craving, or need for food; feeling hunger.

Currently this word is gone in my vocabulary. I haven’t really get the feeling of hungry at all while in Medan. Not because the food are cheap (believe me when I tell you that Indonesia is not a cheap country as you think). But the choices it has here in Medan. If I don’t keep on eating, I will never taste half the food Medan offer. So eat ALL the way!

Oh, the electricity still a problem I guess. Manage to get my body wet this morning. I saw some people started to use solar sun rings system, perhaps, “green” word is getting strong here as well.

Well, this trip is most rewarding I guess. Upgrading my AirAsia flight now…

Well, new year again. Can’t believe I’ve already spent my another year in Puchong again. Good thing is, I started to really like Puchong than Sibu Not for the shopping and etc. Just for I can live my own life with only my wife and I.

Went back Sibu quite early this time, and shorten the time spending here, so I’ve been rushing for cleaning home stuff. Changing colours or upholstery fabric, hanging all those red thingy stuff… And whatever it is to show that this house belongs to a Chinese folks. Surprisingly it seems that fireworks was legalized this year.

Will be at Puchong tomorrow evening and then head off to Medan. Tight schedule for a new year trip. But work is along side with me 24/7

A video I found in YouTube, a very interesting topic indeed. So let’s go!

Facebook, a place where people getting updates about their friends. So when they meet up, they will start discussing what they saw in Facebook. Perfectly fine. However, when the question like “I saw you going/bought/have… Finance not bad huh?” then the answer will come back like, “No lah, not that rich”.

Seriously, showing your oversea trip and telling people you’re not rich because you fly with AirAsia? I mean, what is a flight got to do with the expenses you paid at the location? I have know I can claim my oversea trip bills on AirAsia, or I’m just out-dated with AirAsia policy?

Being rich is not a crime, get a fucking life. As long as those money come from clean way, what is there to embarrase about? Even if the money is from your parents, or you loan from bank or whatever mean you have, as long as it is clean, it is not wrong. Just fucking knod your head and tell them your fucking story.
