    No of hostings you used

    You'd never use a VPS for something like Google or Facebook. Those are two companies that own their own datacenters, and a VPS wouldn't cut it. VPSs are good for websites that need more than what shared hosting can provide but don't need a full dedicated server. Large forums or blogs are...

    No of hostings you used

    As far as downtime, that depends on the provider. I use Ramnode and have yet to have one minute of downtime, as far as I know. Of course I've only been with them for two months, but that's still not bad.

    PlayStation is winning

    I think Microsoft has been going downhill in a number of ways recently. Their attempt to make everything the same with WIndows 8, the xbox one, their latest windows phones, etc... seems to be failing somewhat, and I wouldn't be surprised if the xbox one fell behind as well.

    Xenforo won its lawsuit

    In my opinion, Xenforo is probably one of the best forum software solutions out there today. It has many of the features people seem to love in vBulletin, but without the high price and it is also a much more solid product. VBulletin seems to be going downhill a bit lately. My forums don't...

    Running site for a short duration

    I know people who do that all the time, and it really gets on my nerves. I really like supporting what people are doing, but if people expect to have a site with 20,000 members in one month, that just won't happen. I started a failed forum last year that I spent a lot of time on. After a few...

    No of hostings you used

    My latest forum is on paid hosting. I put it on my VPS, and it has worked pretty well. The decision was one that I felt would not hold back my website as it grows, and that's always a good feeling. I've used free hosting, and generally you'll be lucky if your account doesn't get suspended...

    What browser do you mostly prefer??

    I have one of those cheap J2ME phones, so I can't really use any browsers that are actually any good. The default on mine is unbearably slow, so it's pretty much useless. I use UC browser instead, which is surprisingly good for a little J2ME app.

    How many phones do you have?

    Personally I think it would be neat to have more than one, but I really have no need. One suits my needs. :P

    Development How much Php do you know?

    PHP is really tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's surprisingly simple as a programming language. The syntax is similar to that of C++, but it isn't as confusing in a lot of ways. (for example, you don't have to "define" variables before you use them, etc... )

    Can owning a website become a living?

    You'd have to have a sizable website, but given that you have millions of users, that could certainly be turned into enough advertisement revenue to earn a living. I think the main issue with this as a living is that it is an unstable form of income since websites always come and go, but for me...

    Mozilla OS to hit soon

    I've always found it very interesting that Mozilla is making their own operating system. Personally I always loved Firefox, but while Firefox is a very nice piece of software, seeing Mozilla then come around and built an operating system seems a bit far-fetched in my mind. I am interested in...

    Rap?

    Personally, I like the style of music itself, but most artists tend to use so much foul language that I have trouble listening to it. It does seem that some newer artists are making an effort to keep it clean though, which is nice to hear.
