Personal Websites

I had a site on a small orange it goes down more Than its up. And numerous other people having the same issue in beginning to think there must be a single host that has issues ASO hasn't found and we are all on it having issues. ASO has 10 employees so it's not that surprising.

I guess it would be an interesting poll...
Does everyone set up a server instance and install WordPress themselves, or do you just go directly to a host that offer WordPress hosting directly?
I know the 1-click install is generally frowned upon here, but does anyone use it?
Sorry to hijack your thread!
I've done both. Setting up wordpress on your own server is easy, but not always necessary. It depends on how much traffic you think you're site is going to get.

My site doesn't get a lot, but it irritates me when it just sits there.

You have your email posted in plain text. How do you deal with spam?
I also have to ask this, but don't take it personally. What's with all these progress bars? I keep seeing those mostly on web designer sites and I never understood why would anybody use these. What's the purpose? What do you measure your skill set against, to claim that you have 100% (or any %) of skills/knowledge is certain topic?

I will probably hide my email. I am just toying with the template now.
As far as measuring the skills, I measure how confident I am with each skill. It's part of the included template I am using and I like the way it looks.

Never use <name>@gmail.com - you have a personal domain, use it. [email protected], etc.

Easy. [email protected] - that mail goes into a folder.

I'm waiting for the domain name to propagate at the moment. Picked up a 150GB ramnode VPS to host an instance of owncloud. I may get around to adding an actual blog/website eventually.

I have a blog http://www.ambarishrh.com/ was on hostgator for many years and recently moved to ASO. Eventhough i have this site since 2008, there is not much content on that as much as i wanted to write!
Last blog was a video tutorial just thinking that it would be easier than writing, but again on pause now. Need to start writing again! -

Yeah, I think this is a recurring theme with a lot of us that work in the field with similar aspirations in regards to writing. There needs to be more than 24 hours in the day... So much to do, so little time to do it.

Just finished a migration work of moving all our clients sites (around 60) from one datacenter to another, from Xen to VmWare (i mentioned about this previously about the decision of moving to VM! :)), and old PHP+CentOS version to the latest PHP 5.6 + CentOS 7 and using Ansible. Hope to write about this, and post my ansible script, not sure when! I am going on vacation from next week, so may be one of these days.

I just have my side business site. It's hosted on Vultr in a container. I build everything with Drupal. Haven't had any issues with Vultr yet.
