			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://michael.lemuel.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/wordpress-logo-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="wordpress-logo" width="150" height="150" align="left" class="left" />Anyone want to know how can I have michaeljubel.com as my blog? Do you want a blog like mine, a self-hosted WordPress blog with my own domain name? Well, it&#8217;s not free (of course), but you can have one like mine with a very low price. But, before we get to business and talk about money and prices, I will explain you some terms in web hosting services, in a very simple way of course, which is rather important to be understood well. And I will take some blog sphere friends as examples to make everything easier to understand.</p>
<h3>What is the difference between domain and web hosting?</h3>
<p>Well, this is some examples of domain: <a href="http://michaelhutagalung.com">michaeljubel.com</a>, <a href="http://hannasyalala.com">hannasyalala.com</a>, <a href="http://majarimagazine.com">majarimagazine.com</a>, <a href="http://sherwintobing.com">sherwintobing.com</a>, <a href="http://republikbabi.com">republikbabi.com</a>, <a href="http://putraditama.com">putraditama.com</a>, <a href="http://journal.marisaduma.net">journal.marisaduma.net</a>, <a href="http://ydoea.com">ydoea.com</a>. Do you get the idea? Domain is simply some identification you use to get to somewhere on the internet. There are many suffixes in domain names that you can choose, .com, .net, .org, .info, etc.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Somewhere on the internet? Where is that &#8216;somewhere&#8217; actually?&#8221;</em><br />
<span id="more-217"></span><br />
Aha, this will define what web hosting is all about. Web hosting companies provide some space in their servers on the internet so you can put your blog data there. Everyone from all over the world will be accessing the data in that server when they visit and explore your blog. So, that &#8216;somewhere&#8217; may refer to the location of server where your data is kept.</p>
<h3>Can I have a blog with domain like that without having the web hosting service?</h3>
<p>Yes, why not? Domain and web hosting are actually a different type of web services. Some web hosting companies usually put those two services into one package, but many of them provide separate services so that you may only buy just domain, or even only just web hosting.</p>
<p>Examples of domain without paid web hosting are <a href="http://guebukanmonyet.com">guebukanmonyet.com</a> and <a href="http://jakartabutuhrevolusibudaya.com">jakartabutuhrevolusibudaya.com</a>. Those two blogs are actually hosted in <a href="http://wordpress.com">WordPress.com</a> then owner bought some domains pointing to WordPress.com server so that the WordPress.com blogs are accessible through its own domain names in addition to the ones that WordPress.com already provided: <a href="http://guebukanmonyet.wordpress.com">guebukanmonyet.wordpress.com</a> and <a href="http://revolusibudaya.wordpress.com">revolusibudaya.wordpress.com</a>.  This is very useful when you want your own personalized domain without being messed up with all the start-up and installation process. This process may be frustrating to some people; it includes the WordPress installation, theme installation, and FTP client configuration. The main drawback of having WordPress.com blog with your own domain is the lack of personalization in the blog theme and layout as you can only choose WordPress.com provided theme.</p>
<h3>I want a total control of my personalized-domain blog; meaning I must rent a web hosting service. But, can I have a free one?</h3>
<p>Obviously you can. You need two things: a domain (this is usually not free) and a free hosting service. After buying your own domain, you should have it pointing to the server of the free hosting service. One example of free web hosting service is 000webhost.com; the one which is used by <a href="http://republikbabi.com">republikbabi.com</a> and <a href="http://izul.co.cc">izul.co.cc</a>. The server name may be something looked like: <em>ns1.yourwebhost.com</em> or <em>dns6.yourwebhost.com</em>. You can do this setting in your domain control panel.</p>
<h3>I don&#8217;t know much about web hosting services, is there anyone that provide comparative review or something?</h3>
<p>Well, I recently find a comparison portal that reviews top <a href="http://www.webhostingpal.com/">Web Hosting</a> companies in the world: <a href="http://www.webhostingpal.com/">Webhostingpal.com</a>. You can seek for the cheapest and the most reliable web hosting service on the net. The website is pretty simple, free from banner ads, and only need little time to load. Considering the HUGE bandwidth and disk space the listed web hosting companies provided (it is all in the order of GIGABYTES) in the portal, it is only useful for you who want to have a HUGE business website that offers business and e-commerce hosting if you are planning on selling any goods from your website.</p>
<p><em>$7.95/mo for 50 GB disk space and 750 GB bandwidth. (this is madness)</em></p>
<p>See? Holy cow, that&#8217;s cheap!</p>
<h3>Well, can I have just a USUAL one, please?</h3>
<p>Yes, just try the local web hosting companies. I have been using Qwords.com and everything goes well up until now. They have quite a nice customer support service, both for the ones who already have IT background and also for the ones who doesn&#8217;t really understand these stuff at all (yet).</p>
<p><em>$1.00/mo for 100 MB disk space and 8 GB bandwidth. (pricing is actually in Indonesian rupiah)</em> </p>
<p>Although the international web hosting services are way cheaper if you put the disk space and bandwidth into leverage, but you don&#8217;t really need that super-huge space for a personal blog, do you?</p>
<h3>How about the domain names pricing?</h3>
<p>Usually, a web hosting provider sells domain names as well. At Qwords.com, you have have your own domain names starting from IDR 80.000 per year. If you want to seek another web hosting company, you can go the the portal I&#8217;ve mentioned above: <a href="http://www.webhostingpal.com/">Webhostingpal.com</a>.</p>
<p>Good luck with your self-hosted blogs! Should there be any question, I would be very happy to help!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anda bukan warga Jakarta? Saya juga bukan. Tapi walaupun begitu, pasti ada saja hal-hal yang membuat Anda terpaksa harus ke Jakarta. Entah urusan bisnis lah, urusan beasiswa lah, atau hanya sekedar jalan-jalan menghabisi liburan dengan menyusuri mal-mal Jakarta yang, sejujurnya, emang paling keren se-Indonesia.</p>
<p>Setelah dibukanya jalur Cikampek-Purwakarta-Padalarang-Bandung-Cileunyi (Cipularang dan Purbaleunyi), penggunakan kendaraan pribadi sebagai alat transportasi antara kota-kota tersebut semakin menjadi kebiasaan, bahkan menjadi pilihan banyak orang ketimbang kereta api dan pesawat udara tentunya. Untuk memudahkan dan memperlancar perjalanan Anda, berikut ini tersedia 4 (empat) tips yang dapat Anda terapkan walaupun kemanjurannya belum terbukti karena selama ini hanya saya terapkan kepada diri saya sendiri. Hehehe..<br />
<span id="more-186"></span></p>
<h3>1. Yakinkan benar kemana tujuan Anda. </h3>
<p>Mungkin tips pertama itu terdengar amat sangat bodoh. Tapi hal itu memang merupakan hal penting bisa dilupakan para tamu kota Jakarta. Di Bandung contohnya, saat saya tiba di pintu masuk Ciwalk, saya secara tiba-tiba bisa saja merubah pikiran saya lalu memutuskan untuk pergi ke PVJ dan sampai hanya dalam waktu 15 menit. Dari BSM ke PVJ sekalipun, yang merupakan dua mal yang mewakili bagian Bandung paling utara dan bagian Bandung paling selatan, perjalanannya hanya memakan waktu 45 menit. Nah, di Jakarta?? Saya yakin itu bukan keputusan yang tepat untuk berjalan-jalan tanpa tujuan lalu berpindah-pindah kesana-kemari.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>Aduhh.. bosen nih di Citos.. penuhh banget.. kita maen ke Ancol aja gimana??</em><br />
<strong>B:</strong> <em>Hahaha. Kamu lucu banget deh. Kayanya ke Ancol ama pulang ke Bandung sama lamanya tuh.</em></p>
<h3>2. Gunakan mobil dengan asuransi <em>all-risk</em>.</h3>
<p>Anda sudah mengasuransikan mobil Anda? Itu belum cukup. Pilihlah asuransi <em>all-risk</em> untuk menjamin keselamatan dan keberadaan mobil Anda secara utuh. Saya bukan menganggap Jakarta sebagai kota penuh pencuri kendaraan bermotor, tapi saya lebih menekankan kepada karakter para pengemudi jalanan di Jakarta. Anda pernah dihimpit dua bus besar yang saking parahnya sampai-sampai kedua bus tersebut ternyata sudah mematahkan kedua spion mobil Anda? Saya pernah. Untungnya waktu itu saya masih menggunakan spion bersendi karet sehingga fleksibel untuk dipatahkan kesana-kemari. Mobil Anda BMW dengan spion sendi elektrik? Nahh.. Anda harus hati-hati.</p>
<p><em>Dan tau apa yang menarik? Kondektur dan supirnya sama sekali tidak memasang muka bersalah.<br />
Sensasional. Layaknya mereka sudah terbiasa melakukan itu dari hari ke hari.</em></p>
<h3>3. GPS itu sangat berguna.</h3>
<p>Saya bukannya sok <em>hi-tech</em>, tapi saya sudah membuktikan sendiri bahwa penggunaan GPS sangat berguna dalam menjelajah kota Jakarta. Sekedar informasi bagi yang belum tahu, GPS adalah singkatan dari <em>Global Positioning System</em>; suatu perangkat yang memanfaatkan satelit untuk menentukan letak keberadaan kita di bumi ini. GPS sebelumnya hanya digunanakan untuk keperluan navigasi udara, laut, dan militer. Dewasa ini, GPS sudah mulai masuk ke masyarakat umum dalam bentuk perangkat terintegrasi dengan telepon selular maupun dalam bentuk perangkat mandiri yang bisa dipasang dalam mobil. Dan saya perlu garisbawahi bahwa <u>GPS tidak menghabiskan pulsa Anda sepeser pun</u>. Nah, sudah saya garisbawahi, bukan? Yang perlu Anda perhatikan bukanlah pulsa, melainkan baterai perangkat GPS Anda. Jangan pernah lupa untuk membawa <em>charger</em> mobil yang umumnya ada dalam paket penjualan GPS Anda.</p>
<p>Anda ingin tahu se-canggih apa GPS bisa membantu Anda?</p>
<p><em>400 meters bear left. Prepare to bear left. 200 meters go straight. Turn right here. Going off-course, recalculating. You are arrived at your destination.</em></p>
<p>Nah, itu sedikit potongan ucapan mbak-mbak <em>artificial </em>yang berbicara melalui GPS. Hehehe.. Selain Anda dapat melihat visualisasi semi-3D di layar GPS yang ikut bergerak seiring dengan pergerakkan mobil Anda, beberapa GPS juga memiliki fitur penggantian bahasa yang akan digunakan oleh mbak-mbak <em>artificial </em>itu. Saya sudah mencoba bahasa Indonesia di Nokia N95 dan entah mengapa terdengar agak jijik, walaupun bahasa Malaysia lebih jijik lagi sih.</p>
<h3>4. Play Jakarta, Drive Jakarta.</h3>
<p>Ini merupakan tips yang paling ultimat. Seperti ada pepatah mengatakan, di mana bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung. Jadi, saat Anda berada di Jakarta, peraturan Jakarta lah yang berlaku! Pernahkan Anda bayangkan bahwa mobil-mobil di Jakarta terbiasa untuk salip-menyalip di atas <em>ramp</em>? Gila! Btw, Anda tahu <em>ramp</em> kan? <em>Ramp</em> adalah jalan naik atau turun yang menghubungkan <em>highway</em> dengan jalan biasa. Selain itu, tahukah Anda bahwa &#8216;memberikan jalan&#8217; kepada mobil lain ialah suatu hal yang tabu di Jakarta? Ya, tabu! Coba saja sendiri bila Anda tidak percaya. Jadi bagaimana cara mengemudi yang tepat? Ya ikuti saja cara mereka semua! Dijamin sukses. Hahaha.. <em>Play Jakarta, Drive Jakarta, it is the only way to survive.</em></p>
<p><em>Khusus untuk tips yang terakhir ini, Anda harus memiliki kontrol diri yang baik. Ingat, bagi warga kota Bandung, saat Anda kembali memasuki pintu tol Pasteur, gaya menyetir seperti itu WAJIB Anda tinggalkan. Gunakanlah lagi saat Anda kembali ke Jakarta. Hehe..</em></p>
<p>Demikianlah beberapa tips menjelajahi Jakarta dengan mobil. Semoga bermanfaat!</p>
