ThemesVillage.com – best place for WordPress themes!

I have been using WordPress for couple of years now but when it comes to themes, things get a little difficult. It’s just that whenever I try to search for a theme, I Google it up or visit many popular websites but all of them end up showing me same content. Anyway, this time..I Googled more and found another themes website which looked similar but I thought I’ll give it a try. ThemesVillage.com looked similar to other sites since it had categories, tags and all. But what I liked was “Featured Themes” section and guess what? The featured section really had quality themes and it got me many new themes which I have never seen!

ThemesVillage seems new but I think they can do well by providing fresh content along with more exciting features. That’s all for now :)

Live from a new host

Yup, axdimensions.com has been facing downtime since April 21, 2009. It was actually hosted as an add-on domain on BlueHost along with my other websites. My hosting with BlueHost was expiring on April 24 due to which I thought to purchase another hosting account from BlueHost keeping axdimensions.com as my primary domain.

Initially BlueHost gave some weird scripting errors upon signup and then later my credit card was rejected. I contacted their billing department and found out that my credit card has been marked as fraud, where as the same card was used by BlueHost 1-2 weeks back when they auto-renewed my first account for which I had to claim refund. Anyway, I was in no mood of verifying my details to BlueHost and searched for a better host.

I faced downtime on this host 3 times during my 1 year experience with BlueHost, and same reviews can be found on the internet as well. My account was auto-renewed without any notification where as I was getting constant emails about its expiration. I took backup of my important files and started looking for a better host. Things got a little slow since I was on vacations and did not have access to high-speed internet.

Hmm, after reviewing couple of hosts on different websites, I found HostGator the right host for me. And the comparison charts are also in the favor of the same. Here I am, live from a new host!
