Blog GilaChess

My original blog on Exabytes is really getting slow. It's so frustrating that I can't even load a page for the whole day.

I've finally decided to slowly move all my content to my GilaChess.com instead of Maribelajar.com domain. Using a shared hosting service is a hit and miss kind of situation. You can either be lucky and hosted in a neighbourhood of good websites who don't suck up all the bandwidth or you can be really unlucky. Worse is if Exabytes comes over and blames you for sucking the bandwidth. I only have 100-200 visitors per day. Come on !! I don't have a forum or any huge bandwidth draining script.

Anyway no use complaining and the best thing to do is probably pay up for a better plan but I don't have the cash at this moment. Next year perhaps.

For now I can only switch over my blog to my faster server.

I just saw Chris Pirillo video on the advantages of a blogging network so I thought of trying it out.

Since my nice is in Chess, I started out announcing to my readers if they wanted to set up a chess blog. I would host it on my subdomains in GilaChess.com. I got at least 5 emails indicating interest and in a few days 2 blogs are already active:

• chessdigest.gilachess.com
• wisepawn.gilachess.com

I'm pretty happy too that within the same day after announcing it on GilaChess.com main page, both blogs are already listed on Google's SERP.
