CHARLES PENG

I found myself so difficult to find a good hosting to blog, I just bought a Surpasshosting ONE LOVE TWO power plan, but the server IP assigned to me is blocked by the Great Firewall, although I made a decision to start English blogging, I don’t care Chinese people can access or not, because a few Chinese can read English even if what I write is just baby English(only some simple English), but it’s unconvinient for me to blog using Firefox + Tor, or upload & download files via FTP using a VPN software. So I finally refund Surpasshosting, their service is very good, I am sure, but I can’t  bear the speed, so I just moved Pengyulong Dot Com to a new one. So I hope all the user outside China continuing using their Power plan or other plans.

I just told my visitors in my fist entry of this blog that I will start bloging in English language, and always try to post in English. That’s true, I have made this decision. But anyone wants to know why?

For one reason is that, this blog hosting server IP was blocked in China, so people from China can’t not open this site without a proxy, no matter he/she uses a CHINA TELCOM broadband connect or  CHINA NETCOM one. So even though I blog in Chinese language, Chinese people can not access and read. And this IP is only blocked in China, so my blog readers from other countries have no problem accessing, because people from other countries and area know little Chinese. It is not wise for me to blog in Chinese, I can only speak only one other lange, that is English.

Secondly, I want to practice my English, I am now working in a copany doing foreigh trade, I am dealing with lots of foreigners a day, chatting with them or sending emails with them, and looking for potential buyers of our products on the net, all in English. It is better for me if I can write & speak fluent English to have a better commnucating with them. What I need to do to reah my goal is just practice, and practice.  It is a great chance for me to post in English, and Blog is just a platform for myself to commnucate with my readers, I think,  by replying their comments or E-mails.

I bought a host from Surpasshosting on Feb 25, 2008 when Surpasshosting is having another One Love Sale, pay only 1$ for a whole YEAR of their Power Plan package. This Power shared hosting plan offers enough storage and bandwidth for myself.

It is a great shame that my site server IP, which is  66.7.204.99, had been blocked by the great firewall of China for nearly 1 year. So my site can not be accessed in China successfully without Tor or other proxy servers. Their is no other solutions to solve this problem except to place my account on a dedicated IP (it is 4$/month) or to upgrade from the power shared hosting environment to a VPS or a Dedicated Server, it costs more.

It will be a large amount of money for myself. And what’s more is that I have already got a Hostgator reseller plan account hosting another of my blog,  so I don’t want to buy a delicated IP for this blog. And I buy Surpasshoting power plan for only 1$, i don’t want to pay more, I just want to test Surpasshosting, their services, website load speed and etc. If it’s good, I will decide to buy their power plan next year when the Hostgator reseller plan expires.

However, alought this site server IP was blocked, it can be accessed from other countries successfully. I will take good use of this hosting storage to post in English. The only problem is, it is very inconvenient for me to upload & download files via FTP with a proxy server or a VPN software. That bothers me a lot.

I am now posting using Firefox and Tor, very slow, but I can just have a try, always, now and in the future. Thanks Surpasshosting.
