Finally, I took some time today and moved from my previous web-host to a cheaper and better alternative. For the past 4 years, iKurt.com was hosted with Ehostpros. Even though service was reasonably cheap and reliable, I felt the features offered at that price range did not match with other hosts. After researching for several days, I finally settled with Hostmonster. They offer unlimited storage space with ssh/ftp access, support for php, cgi, ruby, perl, mysql etc for just $4.95 a month. So, I decided to take the jump and switched to Hostmonster.
Also, after experimenting several CMS softwares to manage the new iKurt v2.0, I've decided to go with Movable Type. I really wanted to use either Joomla or Drupal, but they both look too complicated for something as simple as a personal blog. I must confess I almost went with Wordpress due to the ease of use and the huge number of available plug-ins. But finally I picked Movable Type since it appeared to be easily adaptable than Worpress just in case I decide to expand iKurt to be something more than just a personal blog. Also, Movable Type has all of the essential features required to get a personal blogging website online in just a few clicks.
I have also moved the old pages from the previous revision of iKurt.com to my new host. The older version of iKurt is still available here.
