While reading A Sassy Lawyer in Philippine Suburbia blog, I accidentally discovered that her blog is powered by plogHost, a Philippine-based, Filipino-owned web hosting service that offers affordable and flexible terms. When I checked out plogHost's webhosting plans, for as low as PhP75.00 (US$ 1.36) a month, I could have 75 MB webspace, 500 MB bandwidth, unlimited email, unlimited subdomain, support for PHP, mySQL, Perl, Frontpage Exts. PLUS additional of PhP600 (US$11.00) for a one-time domain registration for a year. PlogHost Domain registration is charged on a yearly basis while ccTLD (.ph) are charged for 2 years at $70.

This is too good to be true but, this is an answered prayer - to host my blog and images to a permanent server - and my wish to shift to Movable Type will come to reality real soon. In fairness with Blogger, build on the popular XML-RPC communication protocol, I find its Interface user-friendly, not only because it's FREE but, it takes a mouse click only to re-publish all of my blog entries at once. I am not aware if this feature is possible with MT? I will soon find out about this... ah! Mother never told me there will be days like these...

Abe Olandres, one of the incorporators of PlogHost accomodated my inquiry and I already registered with their webhosting service and placed my order to register ladylaila.net which will soon integrate my blogspot and geocities homepage. Demand for more control of my site prompted me to do this...

My BlogRoll Favorites are increasing each day and I hope to find time to review them all and rearranged them based on their blog type. For the meantime, please check out my neighbors on metaspace.
