WPDesigner.com Review

Disclaimer: The following is a paid review. The views expressed on this post are mine, though.

I haven’t visited WPDesigner in a long time, and I was surprised at the vast addition of resources at the site. I used to frequent it for the excellent free WordPress themes that the author offers, but those were the times when I was a WP noob and stupidly changed themes once a new one came out. (I now later found out that it’s not advisable if I want to build a blog identity, so). I haven’t caught up, which was a loss, I now realize. And for those who haven’t caught wind about the latest from the site like I do, here’s what’s new: a section on the right hand navigation full of web hosting resources.

I swear the guy never ceases to amaze me. He can’t just stop at being the genius that he is in making WP themes. No sir. He also has to gain extra brownie points for helping us out by giving us chock-full of information about the utterly confusing (yet uber) important task of picking a web host. If he had published those articles say, a month earlier, I would have been spared the agony of wracking my brains out thinking of what web hosting company to trust my soul, errrr, this blog to. But hey, I’ve accepted a long time ago that I was not born lucky.

Going back to the site, his latest post about the 10 BEST web hosting companies should help out a lot of new webmasters out there. Yeah, so there are a lot of other lists on the internet claiming they have compiled a list of the best web hosting companies but guess what, they are, more often that not, owned by the TOP web host on the list (shameless self-promotion, BAD) and the reviews don’t seem real (like they came out of Microworkers or something. Ehem.). While here’s a guy, straight as an arrow (and cute, despite an attempt at hiding his profile faces by putting ridiculous drawn accessories over them), offering the same advice BUT 100% unbiased.

I can’t find where he got the price for GoDaddy though. It’s only $4.79 last time I checked, but it may have changed in the meantime. But hey, I’m not complaining here. The reviews he did about each and everyone of the ten in the list are very thorough, and believable (because of the fact that I know fellow bloggers who are under those web hosts and asked them if they agree with the reviews. They do.) The “Eaze-of-Use” phrase on the post hurt my eyes, me being a retired proofreader and all, but I bet you’ll find spelling (and grammatical) errors littering my every post as well so I’m not gonna hold it against him. He’s still cute. And he still has one of the most helpful and gorgeous (calm sophistication, that’s what comes to mind when viewing the site) blogs on the web.
