The Database Manager Plugin For Work At Home Bloggers

September 21, 2009 · Posted in Database Manager, Web Hosting · 28 Comments 

I know how it is to create content for our websites and blogs, especially for people who are work at home for a living it can be really tough to keep up with the online sphere and create content at the same time. Usually we use our talents to make this content come true for our readers, but we don’t want to loose what we have just created so there is only one opposition for the matter to keep our content we create, and that is keep the post we have just published on our blogs on notepad, or wordpad so we don’t loose track just in case our website or blog has crashed for any reason, for example, viruses from unidentified resources. This alone can be a huge problem for those who has security risk on their computer, or is leaving tracks.

The Database Plugin(dbmanager plugin)

One of the best thing’s that ever happened for the web is Wordpress blogs. Wordpress blogs are always updated. There are new versions to keep security risk up to date, and the latest plugins are added for you to check out. Wordpress allows for you to upload plugins to enhance the usability of you wordpress blog, therefore making it author-friendly for you to use. Many people use wordpad, and notepad to keep their post at hand just in case they loose website content so these are copied and paste to wordpad, or notepad which is provided by default via Microsoft Windows. As a matter of fact, I would continue doing this although the awesome Database Plugin has arrived.

The Database Plugin is for all bloggers. You no longer have to login to your hosting account to change tables around or optimize them for anything. You now can do this from the comfort of your dashboard. Just like I said before Wordpress is the greatest, and it allows you to use the hosted platform freely to your ability. In the case of the Database Manager Plugin(dbmanager plugin), not only can you optimize you tables, and delete, or keep them….you can also back up all your tables, and save them for a download. What this means is you will save all you blog’s content, post, and comments on a file that will be downloaded to your computer using the dbmanager plugin.

Why is this important? Imagine creating 1,000 post over a three year period time. All of a sudden, everything you have created is erased incidentally, or someone has broken pass your security only to have erased all your hard work. Sure, copying and pasting is a good way to keep all the work you have created over the years, but who wants to post back 1,000 articles when all you have to do is download a file using your database manager plugin, and then uploading it through phpMyadmin on you hosting account if you have cpanel or mysql following a few steps to upload you database. My advice to you is go ahead and download the Database Manager Plugin, enjoy.

Till then My Friends,

Work At Home Bloggers Need VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting

June 27, 2009 · Posted in Blogging, SEO, Web Hosting, Working At Home · 23 Comments 

Hi my friends, I am extremely sorry that I have been away from this blog so long. For the past few weeks I’ve been really busy on a number of projects, but today I am so obliged to be back to make another post today, thank you :-) . A month ago I was sitting in my office in my thinking, thoughtful, theatrical, Triple T Tee time called (TTT) mode and it hit me really hard, (laughing) no….not a ton rocks or anvils thank God, but the way we host our blogs these days. Have you ever woke up in the morning and wonder why do we even bother to work from home online. Well, to make money right, and it provides us a wonderful life that many people only dream about.

What some of us fail to understand is we need a dependable server to host these profitable blogs on in order to stay in the game. VPS stands for Virtual Private Server which is a special hosting package that allows webmasters or bloggers to receive a humongous amount of traffic without the troubles of being shutdown because of the web traffic rush. You probably have heard of these amazing stories of people getting on the front page of Digg.com or Stumbleupon.com only leaving there blog disabled because of this rush of traffic that they receive. The thing about getting on the front page of these social networks is it doesn’t have to be your own doing. Someone may find your story intriguing and decide to vote for your story then “BAM”, there goes your blog because of poor hosting, and not enough bandwidth. If you’re not really into attracting tons of targeted web traffic to your blog then you might don’t have to worry about VPS.

SEO is my main focus even if it wasn’t I would still need VPS dedicated package when so much traffic comes around then we won’t have to worry about getting shut down because of the lack of bandwidth. Man, once I started to really think about the whole ordeal I said to myself “15mb of bandwidth just isn’t enough…how about 500GB of bandwidth”. That sounds about right for us work at home bloggers doesn’t it, or how about 1 TB, even better huh? Right then I started to skim the internet for some healthy resources on this matter, and found that we could have this done easily without a hassle. This may sound like a self sales pitch, (laughing) or doesn’t, but I’m definitely not going to sell you anything, but I will direct you in a better path than the one I took. I stress the matter of hosting your blog on a VPS packages for SEO sake. This is another reason why free blogs are so awesome to have because this knocks one trouble off your hand, but on the other hand you are in control of the destiny of your blog if you hosted it on your own.

OH yeah, if you are using a shared web host account, and wish to transfer your domain over to a web host that offers VPS hosting, then I suggest you backup all your files immediately before you transfer any of your domains so you won’t loose any information. If you have the Database plugin installed on your wordpress blog then go here to learn how to download a backup for your Wordpress blog using the Database wordpress plugin ————-> Backing Up Your Database <-------------- sroll down to "Using WordPress Database Backup Plugin" at the bottom for instructions. After you have purchased VPS dedicated hosting with full access to Cpanel, and phpMyadmin then go to -----------> Restoring Your Database From Backup <-------------- Now you don't have to worry about loosing all your data after you have switched hosting companies. Check with the hosting company you are with now to see if they are offering VPS dedicated hosting packages, if so, then all you have to do is upgrade your hosting package. These web host are the ones I found that are reliable VPS hosting, enjoy my friends!

Web Host That Allows VPS Dedicated Hosting:

Dreamhost.com
Mediatemple.net
godaddy.com
dotster.com

PS:(FOR NEW BLOGGERS) If you venture out on your own to finding the right VPS hosting package make sure they allow the one button Wordpress auto-install, and accessible Cpanel. I know uploading files to your server may be fun, but this makes the process of getting things done quickly, easy, friendly and hassle free.

Till next time my friends,

Bluehost For Bloggers Who Work At Home

Work From Home Resources

I always used to ask myself how in the world do I get a blog for myself and build it ground up if I’m going to work from home at my own pace. Then I found out that I can create myself a free blog instead of purchasing a domain name from hosting company instead. What I found out is hosting your own blog is more beneficial to you instead of using a free one from Blogger or Wordpress blogs. So what I decided to do was choose a hosting company to deal with so I chose Bluehost to host my blogs online. The reason I decided this because you have a wide range of things you can control behind the scenes of your blog, for instance, the cascading style sheets(css), Themes, etc. One of the best features that comes with Bluehost is the ability to auto-install the Wordpress blogging script. Meaning Bluehost will install Wordpress platform blog for free. Your blog website address will look like http://www.yourdomain.com instead of a free wordpress address, such as, http://www.yourdomain.wordpress.com.

The plugins that you will be able to use for your hosted Wordpress blog are awesome. You can’t use plugins with a free Wordpress blog because a free blog doesn’t have access to your websites/blogs index file. The best free software to transfer files from your computer to index file is Filezilla because the interface is web base, and application friendly. Filezilla is a File Transfer Protocol(FTP). Without FTP you would always have to log in to your hosting account every sing time you need to transfer files from your PC to blog/website. The options you have for themes for your blog are spread all across the internet. If you go to wordpress.org you will find tons of plugins and great themes.

The best Hosting company – Bluehost.com
