it must be the madness

Well, frihost.net is not all that it has cracked up to be.

But, then again, what can you expect from a free web host?

All of my static HTML pages are working fine (albeit slow). My WordPress installation, however, could use some work. Every time I try to make substantial changes, the connection has to reset, which can get pretty annoying. There are major problems with the MySQL database (and I do not think they’re on my end). Most of my pages are showing MySQL errors that I cannot seem to fix. These errors often prohibit me from making changes. Some of my plugins are not working (namely WPVideo, which allows me to post YouTube videos), and the back-end is extremely slow. FTP is not working for me whatsoever, and DirectAdmin is extremely extremely (yes, twice) slow.

So, I guess I’ll be waiting until next month (when I’m going to have more money) and I’ll be registering with a paid host (most likely A Small Orange or Vasily’s company–the name has slipped my mind) with a domain name. Hopefully, I’ll finally be able to find blogging salvation.

In the past two years, I’ve moved from familyteen.net to sparkeh.com to meorrr.com to blogspot.com to wordpress.com back to sparkeh.com back to wordpress.com, with a short-lived existance on frih.net and back to wordpress.com. I have quite the history, don’t I?
