Introducing PeterAnglea.com!

Posted by Peter on December 15th, 2006

I would like to welcome you to the all-new PeterAnglea.com! Those of you who know me, may recall my old blog/site as being a subdomain of my web design company - xHTMLpro.com. As of today, December 15th, 2006, that site is no longer my personal internet home.

Why did I feel the need to have my own personal domain (branded with my name, no less)? The reasons are many.

  • I’ve always wanted my own domain. But besides that . . .
  • It’s becoming the norm for people nowadays to have a personal website/domain name for practical business and/or communication purposes. It is my hope that this website will be my virtual representative on the World Wide Web for a long time to come and that people (my family, most importantly) will be able to keep tabs on my business, my music, and my life in general.

Why do it now?

  • Because of special discounts offered to me by my favorite webhost, SiteGround LLC.
  • To give myself a Christmas present!
  • Because domain names are getting snatched up faster than you would believe (even with a last name as “weird” as mine).

So here’s the low-down on this site.

  • Powered by WordPress as a Content Management System. I originally was looking to have WordPress power only this small blog on the home page, but decided to expand it and use it to its full capacity. This required that I . . .
  • Make my own WordPress template. This is actually the first template I have cooked up for WordPress. I think it works pretty well. The actual design is a slight modification of a template entitled nonzero by NodeThirtyThree design that I found at OWD.
  • This site is Valid XHTML. You should view this site with at least a 1024px resolution so as to avoid seeing only half of the site at once.

One other thing you should know. I love getting feedback! So please leave comments, contact me, email me, whatever! I look forward to hearing from you about what I put on my site. Thanks again for visiting!

How highly do you reccomend SiteGround LLC?
It seems quite a bit cheaper than the host I’m using now, and includes everything (cpanel, php, fantastico, etc…)

I’m thinking of switching over…

I highly recommend them. They give you everything you need and more. The amount of space and bandwidth they give to their shared hosting accounts is phenomenal. The really nice part is their customer service. They have always answered my support tickets in under 10-15 minutes (as little as 1 1/2 minutes).

If you decide to switch to them, do me a favor and make sure you click on the link to SiteGround in my first post. They give their customers 3 months of free hosting for every referral! :)
