I’ve spent another Satyam Cinemas ticket for hosting, this time, to a host which got older-but-stable versions of softwares. I’ve migrated database to this new one as well.

Guess what, this time, I’m trying yet-another-new-thing. Now, I’ve two hosting packages on two different hosts (didn’t waste much money, total cost is three tickets at Satyam Cinemas). My DNS management is done for free by ZoneEdit and it supports Round-robin DNS (A technique that enables a domain to be hosted on multiple servers, and to have the load balanced between them) So, I configured both servers to have my blog and one of the will be pointed by ZoneEdit’s DNS Servers when you request.

Reasons for this action

• I’ve no clue why I did this
• Let me see if I get to learn something new as I got so many new doubts right now while doing it
• First host is bad, I don’t know about second host. Atleast one of them will up to serve the blog

I’ve no clue for following questions

• How am I going to synchronize posts at both the servers ?
• Will DNS server point you to the second server automatically when the first server is down ?
• What exactly will be happening in the background at DNS server and my browser when I request a page ?

I’m sure that I’ll get more doubts and I’m more sure that I’m going to find answers for these questions. If you’ve answers for my questions, please let me know, otherwise, I will let you guys know when I find solutions

Guess, you’ve seen my old blog and came here. Updating what happend here on this blog … I took certain care on the following items

• Theme isn’t black anymore, though I can’t guarantee that it would be same.
• Well, no-more-blogger-service. I’m sure that I’m not going back to blogger. One Google service abandoned.
• All posts and comments are migrated to this blog, so if you want to read any old posts, you need not go back to that dark page. All you would need to do is update your bookmarks or subscriptions in your feed readers.
• Added some ajax-plugins for wordpress to make it easy browsing archives. Looking forward to make it better.

There are certain things going on in the back end. Will update you guys about them very soon. PS: Thanks a lot to Sunil Biswal for suggesting the domain name.
