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!

I had this little task pending from few weeks and I even tested out few plugins for it – but none of them worked really well. However, yesterday I tested 2 more plugins and I finally found what I was looking for! Yes, MobilePress does this job really well. Users can now simply type ‘axdimensions.com‘ from their handsets and they’ll be automatically redirected to the WAP version of my blog. Below is a snapshot of how a blog looks on WAP:

Yet another WordPress blog? No! I started blogging in November 2007 on wordpress.com after which I tested many self-hosted blogs and even experiemented little dot com ventures using WP. However, I’ve finally planned to merge all my blogs into one so that it gets a little easy for me to manage and blog about technology happenings, web design & development.

Readers who have been following me on axdimensions.wordpress.com and axdimensions.com/pixelnotes can now track me directly through ‘axdimensions.com’..

And yes, twitter freaks can add me at: http://www.twitter.com/axdimensions

Enjoy your stay!
