We&#8217;ve had it more than 2 years, and upgraded to 1Mbit\/s last year. I was hosting a few sites of my own, just little ideas I wanted to work on, using Dynamic DNS from ZoneEdit. My wife hosted her online shop from a server in our home office too, using Custom DNS from <a title=\"Dynamic DNS provider\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dyndns.com\">DynDNS.com<\/a> &#8211; the best company I have ever dealt with on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>I have never phoned a service provider as often as I have phoned TM Net. I think I&#8217;ve even phoned them more often than I have the local pizza delivery service, so we&#8217;re talking a <strong>lot<\/strong> of phone calls! Because we host some of our own sites from home, we have a very stable network. It has stayed in one layout for nearly two years, since we moved into this house. There were a few months at at the start of 2008 when nothing really serious seemed to be wrong with Streamyx. The occasional slow-spell is bearable. Other than that, the whole period has been characterised by more or less show-stopping faults. Some days, even the phone was dead!<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to flog a dead horse, I&#8217;ve written about this elsewhere, so suffice to say, it was so unbearably bad, we&#8217;re cancelling it and going to DiGi&#8217;s EDGE network. That means no more home-hosting, as the Malaysian cellular networks don&#8217;t support Dynamic DNS. I&#8217;ll have to find something else to while away the months! My wife&#8217;s shop has gone to <a title=\"Exabytes, Malaysian webhost\" href=\"http:\/\/www.exabytes.com.my\/\">Exabytes<\/a>, so the Custom DNS is redundant. The Dynamic DNS from ZoneEdit has a handy feature for redirecting URLs, so this page will appear instead of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>poditronic.com<\/li>\n<li>spider.my<\/li>\n<li>aircarfuel.com<\/li>\n<li>sendto.my<\/li>\n<li>send2.my<\/li>\n<li>blog.lolyco.com\/sean<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;until I get round to making something amazing to host on one of those domains, or unless someone thinks they can do it quicker, and would like to take a domain off my hands!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently we just need to give a few day&#8217;s notice to our local TM Point to terminate our Streamyx service.
