In ancient times people used to go to the Himalayas for hard meditation. They used to sacrifice all earthly and material plaesures and stayed away from their family.Nowadays they are called software engineers.

This SMS I received sums up my experience nowadays quite well.

Gone are the happy days when I would get up at 9:00 AM in the morning. Here even getting up at 6:00 AM in the morning is not enough.

And to top the fierce training schedules are the food eating problems and the training assessments.

I am waiting for my training to be over. Till then taking out time to post will be difficult. But I will still try to post on weekends.

Till then sayonara.

A post after a long time and that too a sponsored post. This is a sponsored ReviewMe post about Slamdot web hosting.

Slamdot is a new name in the immensely large web hosting market which aims to make web hosting simpler than ever. And it intends to do this with its innovative Web 2.0 control panel which will allow you to manage almost everything related to web hosting from domain purchase to hosting management.

The core of the Slamdot is its control panel. Instead of the cPanel you get a cool control panel. As Slamdot writes :

Slamdot takes the pain out of web hosting. Your account, billing, help desk, hosting control panel, and domain name management are all integrated into one dead-simple, web-based tool. That means you only need to remember one username and one password for everything.

Each hosting plan receives a feature-rich control panel directly integrated with the rest of Slamdot. Your control panel allows you to create email accounts, upload files, check web stats, setup subdomains and pointers, customize error pages, password-protect areas of your website and a whole lot more.

There are three plans available if you want to go with Slamdot. The plans start as low as $11/month and the highest plan costs $40/month. You can check out the details of the plans in the screenshot below.

The Verdict

I cannot say anything about the uptime of Slamdot servers, because I have never tried it out. But on the whole Slamdot looks to me like any other webhost but with a little spicy and unique control panel.

Slamdot’s main customers will be beginners who have no idea about web hosting and are starting out with it. Slamdot is all about simplicity. One central place to manage everything.

Do you download a lot from Rapidshare, Megaupload & other file uploading sites ? Everytime you want to download a file at Rapidshare, you have to wait for sometime which goes on to 300 seconds in some cases. And if you are going to download several files then the waiting becomes a little boring.

Firefox with Greasemonkey script NoDelay allows you to bypass “please wait, you download will start shortly” dialogs and begin downloading files immediately from a large number of popular file uploading sites such as Rapidshare & MegaUpload.

You can find the complete list of file uploading site with which NoDelay works on the script installation page.
