Every blogger dreams of upgrading his/her blog to become a self hosted one. I have been, too, until I met a great group of bloggers recently. They were the ones who inspired me to take my blog to the next level. For weeks I’ve been delaying the big move, until Jay of Fifty Shades of Jay poked my Facebook inbox offering free service to help me with my blog.
Whoa! Who couldn’t resist such a friendly offer? So off to Hostgator.com and Namecheap.com I went to buy my own domain and hosting for a year. This is it, yeah. After hours of valuable assistance from Jay(or was it bugging to the max?) in transferring my existing WordPress account to my newly set up blog, my new domain is finally up! Although, I am still currently exploring to spice it up with widgets and stuff, I can’t thank him enough for the help.
So for those of you bloggers from Davao who wish to self-host their blogs and can use much needed help from a techie person like Jay, its about time to send him a message at his Facebook account here. Take note, it’s for FREE! And as a token of gratitude, I’m sharing this good news to everyone.
Hala!!! Salamat Anne!!! After a long rough day circling Abreeza, Gmall, SM Annex, with all the traffic and rain!!! Makainspire balik ang ‘thank you’ post. Salamat! You are very welcome! and to all Dabawenyo Bloggers, feel free to reach me!!! Building website and designing is my passion, a hobby of sort. Ayaw lang mo kaulaw kay magkita kita ra ta ninyo sa kadalanan sa Dabaw! Kita kita ray magtinabangay. Go DB!
Go Jay =)
Does he only help bloggers from Davao? How about those from other places in Pinas? I have a wordpress blog with no domain yet but it’s being neglected because I’m not very familiar with WP. I’ve been using blogger since I started blogging.
Hi Lisa..you can contact him at his FB profile
Congrats on the new domain! You’re so lucky to have been surrounded by techy- savvy and generous friends. Goodluck in all your blogging endeavors!
Getting a new domain is always exciting ! congrats ! Dati I’m afraid to use WP but now I’m using both Wp and blogger.
Does nice “Jay” extend his service outside the Phils?!? I hope so!
Great that you are sharing this info to everyone. It will help him widen his network and reach and at the same time, you’re also helping other bloggers out there in need of much techy help from an expert.
You can contact him via his FB account here Jay Rule.
