We switched SGRunners to a local server a few weeks ago. This time it is my turn to switch web host. I chose the same local web host company (www.hostarc.com) as SGrunners’ one, but a reseller plan instead, in order to host SprintDynamic as well as some of my other websites. There’s a much higher price to pay for hosting at a local server … The monthly fee is now S$60 for a mere 3,000MB web space. My previous web host (www.surpasshosting.com) was only S$24 per month for a huge 20,000MB reseller plan! If you come across a cheaper plan (local server), let me know Well uploading and downloading files to and from the new server seems to be much faster now and I believe it’s faster loading time for Starhub users too! As for you, my friends who are surfing from outside Singapore or even Singnet / M1 / Pacificnet users, I guess there’s not much difference in loading time haha

Oh … I’ve also upgraded my wordpress to V2.2.1 … the upgrade was flawless! Theme used: Mandigo Theme.

We going to move SGRunners to a local server (Singtel Data Center)! This will allow most forum members (mainly StarHub users) to surf sgrunners website at a faster speed. My website also takes ages to load on StarHub cable (I was told that some packets are lost along the way). I don’t experience this connection problem with Singnet broadband.

My upgrade to wordpress V2.2 is a disaster. My dashboard is messed up. I can’t see incoming links or news. I reinstalled wordpress, changed the permissions of the file, reset my options and still, the dashboard is messed up despite following all instructions carefully. Moreover, I can’t add new categories without disabling JavaScript from my browser! Several people from wordpress’ support forum are having the same problem …

Problem #1: On the dashboard …

You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/index-extra.php on this server.

EDIT: I manged to solve problem #1. I modified my .htaccess file by adding these lines:

Problem #2: When adding new categories on both post and blogroll …

You don’t have permission to access /blog/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on this server.

Just changed SGRunners blog theme. It’s using Kapikua theme now.

Hey friends. I’ve decided to create a new blog. So welcome to my new domain! My previous blog will still be kept alive. I created this new blog because I wanted to start afresh. In terms of blogging that is. I will update the rest of the sidebar stuffs soon.
