29Jun PuTTY lesson in an sms
I woke up this morning and found that my sites are all down. I panicked because my webhost has gone for a holiday. I checked my email and found nothing from him because he mentioned about emailing me the tutorial. Then, I check my handphone and found the instructions there in the short text message. Lucky, I can still manage to reach him and told him to reboot my server before he flies as I need time to absorb the instructions.
OK, having done that, I then go through the steps he put in the sms. Remember, I was just out of bed, haven’t brush my teeth and without the contact lenses.
So, I download puTTY and am suddenly expose to unfamiliar names like SSH etc etc. Though I had read and heard of them, I never thought I will be dealing with it so soon.
Well, I am glad everything went fine and now I have control of my VPS. Even know how to reboot system. Woohoo…pahwer in my hands. I no longer worry about CPU overload problems. Simple command of restart service instructions.

Fuhyoo! Can talk on VPS already. I have yet to experience that kind of luxury. Still have to stick with shared hosting..

SSH access is very useful, I use it on install and upgrade WordPress, plugins, themes and modify the codes. You can learn more about it from here: http://www.webhostgear.com/35.html :D

lilian i’m planning to move to vps soon, how is the speed compared to a regular shared host ?

Yes Lilian, once you get used of it, everything will become easy and fast, you just need to learn some simple command and it’s enough to do what I said above

Oh lucky you! Having equipped with some technical knowledge saved you sites and your readers from frustration *phew*
yeah I’m aware that setbacks do happen when a site shuts down for any reason. Just to let you know, one day of downtime is enough for any webmaster.
