I received notification yesterday, via a new web hosting cpanel feature, Softaculous that the two Wordpress blogs I maintain on this site– had software upgrades available, Version 3.3.

This blog and the WordPress support blog– which I maintain for tests- were mentioned in the email. When I ran the script to update the support blog, the following error was provided when I tried to visit the site:

Since I could not update the PHP version running on my host– I had to get the last backup for Hosting-Q.com and reinstall the directory where I maintain the blog and the database.

Lessons learned– ensure versions of PHP and MySQL running on your server are compatible with software you either wish to install or upgrade. Also make sure to get a backup of your current software installation in case you run into a similar problem.

The other WordPress note I want to mention? WordPress periodically saves revisions of your blog posts. This causes entries to be inserted into the database that are updates of the original post. To have the software update the original post without inserting a new record in the database; insert the following into the wp-config.php file anywhere between the <? and ?> tags:

Hosting-Q and QiSoftware would like to wish everyone a happy new year.

Have added a new category to this blog– Clients. Each new hosting client will get a write up– which will provide free publicity for their sites or blogs. I do not carry this blog’s link in my online signature, however each client post should provide a small measure of notoriety and add a backlink for the site to major search engines.

I hope this new category will also help to keep everyone honest and on the same page. See the sidebar [right] for the current list of Hosting-Q clients. If you feel you should be listed– contact the FBI. All current Hosting-Q clients are listed.

Other incentives:

• Free listing in the WiredPages Business Directory/or free profile in the ProfessionalProfiles service depending on preference or business area. The WiredPages Business Directory only accepts family friendly listings.
• Free Blogger Calendar with JSP signup.

At present Hosting-Q has no clients– so we are able to provide our undivided attention. The real reason I want to mention this now? In case there is a question of fraud as related to the service– I want another reason the FBI could be called in. If you believe you have a hosting account with Hosting-Q– demand a refund and contact the FBI– this would be fraud.

Here are some of the incentives to use us if you need hosting:

• Free listing in the WiredPages Business Directory/or free profile in the ProfessionalProfiles service depending on preference or business area. The WiredPages Business Directory only accepts family friendly listings.
• Free Blogger Calendar with JSP signup.

If you have an account– why are you not listed in ProfessionalProfiles or the WiredPages Business Directory. If you signed up for JSP hosting did you get your free Blogger Calendar?

Basic plans start at $140.00 a year and are packed with lots of extras. See pricing guidelines for more information.

If you feel you have a hosting account with Hosting-Q and are not getting the attention you require– contact the FBI.
