TheAkiba Now Hosted with WPWebHost

Still busy with the university stuffs and am packing up my clothes for the flight next month. Kind of being lazy these days and the site lacks updates for a while, in part of my preparing and reviewing of my college courses (I almost forget them all!), in part of the high usage of the server resource. Tired of looking into the code for optimization, I bought a new hosting plan last week. And today I moved the site to the new hosting company that is hotly discussed these days: WPWebHost.

I have been long wondering whether there’s a WordPress only hosting company on the web, at least I haven’t found one. If you want to have a WordPress blog, you can simply register a WordPress.com account and start blogging with some restrictions, say, you cannot customize your theme and cannot do some fancy (not sure whether there’s usage restrictions). Finally I found one and it works great. What I’ve heard on the web is that they (WPWebHost) didn’t receive negative reviews (do a Google on the web and you will know). But what I know is that the staffs of WPWebHost are all WordPress lovers and professionals. They customized the server for WordPress and you can have faith in hosting your blog with them. What’s more, they can answer your questions if you encounter problems in dealing with your WordPress blog.

Have read lots of reviews on the web and found what they provide is outstanding. A simple plan (well, we don’t have many choices since they only provide two kind of plan, one for WP, one for WPMU) includes the follow features:
