I have been thinking about moving to a better web hosting partner for a couple of months now. The problem I am facing with my current hosting provider is that they support only shared hosting. Since this blog is growing in readership and traffic, I need to switch to a cheap web hosting solution that also has the upgrade possibility from shared to dedicated hosting and that’s when I stumbled upon Lypha.com.

The cheap web hosting solutions from Lypha is really exciting. For as low as $6.95 per month you get professional web hosting experience that offers a free domain for life, unlimited domain hosting, unlimited bandwidth transfer, unlimited hosting space, unlimited POP email accounts and a lot more.

Earlier this week I had requested my blogger readers to come up with catchy single words that describe their blogs. I got some very good response to this little opinion post and some answers were really intriguing, some others were funky while majority of them were pretty straight forward single words that symbolized these individuals’ blog or their brand.

Today I have been relatively free as I did not have too many comments to moderate or reply. The main reason for the lower number of comments has been the reduction in traffic for the past two days. I reckoned that the long festive weekend in India was causing the problem, as around 50% of my readers are from India (And the Google Analytics data proved my theory right!)

Since I was in no mood to write a new long post, I thought of putting up this little opinion post. There’s only one rule! You have to describe your blog in exactly one word and post that one word as a comment here. I plan to give link love or back links to top 10 interesting single word comments!
