Moved to (mt) Media Temple on a (dv) VPS and upgraded to WordPress 2.2.

Why to move again? Simply because (mt) is the best webhost provider on the planet. And very coincidently, my site became unaccessible in China a few hours after I made the order. It's been confirmed that my SurpassHosting IP address is blocked by those bloody devils for unknown reasons.

I didn't want to say "SurpassHosting sucks!", though the ftp connections were slow for me, and unstable, database sometimes went down, no ssh access. I requested SurpassHosting to transfer me onto an accessible server so that I can get my necessary data back, but they refused to help. Instead, they "kindly" offered 2 options: Purchase a Dedicated IP or Upgrade from shared hosting to a VPS/Dedicated Server. Suck? Okay thanks for the incredible solutions, I'm now on a VPS with a dedicated IP, but from another company which absolutely surpasses you SurpassHosting. lol

This afternoon shit happened to my site. My webhost provider (perhaps actually just their system) refused to host my primary domain www.ilemoned.com on their server any longer. This may due to the recent intensity of China's Internet Realname System. I didn't register at that evil system and I will NEVER do so. Nevertheless, a customer service guy promised to help me with the issue tomorrow morning when he goes to work. Hopefully things are gonna settle down soon.

Update: No, things didn't settle down. My domain is banned forever.

Now I'm with SurpassHosting. In celebration of Valentine's Day, they've been running "The One Love Sale" in february, which is totally unbelievable - $1 for an entire year! Today is the last day, see with your own eyes and don't miss it!

I was helping Scavin with his WordPress migration to a new webhost when he told me about that $1 sale. The funny thing is, his new host is just the one which banned me (I recommended it to him)! After a very short discussion, we both ordered our own SurpassHosting. Why to hesitate? It takes only one dollar!
