Now you can sign in two gmail using your multiple email IDs and stay online on all of them. Google introduced its new fecility that enables google service users to link multiple google acounts and use them together.But the sad side is that not all Google Services are currently supporting 'multiple sign-in' . Only Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Voice, Reader , Code and Sets are now supported. Read more at Vishnu's Blog

When i started writing this blog, there were only a few free web hosting providers , and none of them were supporting PHP and MySQL. So I had no option other than using Google's Blogger service for my blog. Now things changed a lot. Many free hosting providers nowe support scripting languages. But what make Isrishti.In Free Web Hosting different is that they support scripting languages without any restrictions. Even phpMail is supported. They almost allow you to create and host another Facebook or Orkut on their server. And most importantly , it seams that they hate ads. They do not put any ads on your site. But you are allowed to put your own ads (another way for income).

Bandwidth:
In theirs advertisements, it is shown that they provide unlimited bandwidth. But in reality bandwidth is limited to 10 GB. But it is almost 10 times more than most paid hosting services. And I don't think you will ever cross your bandwidth limit unless you are going to buy google and host it in Isrishti.In servers. So virtully, as they claim, you are provided with unlimited bandwidth.

Pre-Installed Scripts:
If you are thinking of getting a blog or discussion form, they have preinstalled Wordpress and VBullattin for you.They have a wide variety of scripts pre-installed, like JOOMLA, phpWiki, osCommerce, phpNuke and lot more. In addition to pre-installed scripts, you are allowed to install your own scripts or third party scripts.

Storage:
Though the bandwidth is very high, they are little conservative when giving away storage space. Your content site contents should fit in 350 MB they provide. Its not so small and many paid hosting providers serve you less than 200 MB. As a compensation for lesser storage, they don't put any restriction on individual file size. This is one of the important reason that make people to use paid hosting instead of free hosting. Most hosting providers crush you on file size, and many like 50Webs allows only 500KB maximum file size for individual files. In this regard, Isrishti.In took a revolutionary movement(as they say in their blog).

Email and FTP:
You will be impressed to have an email address yourname@yourdomain.com instead of yourname@gmail.com or yourname@yahoo.com (or yourname@live.com ,since I am not an anti-Microsoft). Isrishti.In allows you to have email address at your domain or any subdoamin that you add to your account. Email system works on 'catch-all' basis.That means you are not needed create any email account, all mails send to any address at your domain (say info@yourdomain or me@mydomain) will be accepted and stored in a common inbox. So you can have virtually unlimited number of email addresses. To impress you again, you acn access your email via POP3, IMAP and Webmail. and if you like to stick on your favorite email address, yhou can choose to redirect ,mails to your present email address.

You can upload your site content via FTP using your favourate FTP client or use online file manager provided by them.


Sub Domains Adon Domains and DNS:
While signing up, you are given a name_you_choose.isrishti.in domain name. After signing up, you can add as many as additional domains as you want (either you can add yoursite.tld you own or choose subdomains at a list of domains they provide. Some are very tiny like 0lx.net). You can create upto 5 subdomains on any domain or subdomain you selected and have full DNS control on them.


Database:
You can have upto 7 mySQL databases each with a miximum size of 300 MB. phpMyAdmin is provided for online management of your databases.

Scripting:
Isrishti.In supports PHP, CGI, ASP and front page extentions. They do not impose any restrictions on scripting. But remember, they have a very power full anti-spam system and top rated lawyers.

Site Builder and  Control Panel


Reliability, Customer Services and Paid Hosting:
According to them, all users are vluable to them , whether piad or free. But those who really want to pay for what they get or those who want more than what they provide on free hosting , can go for their paid hosting option.

They have a 24/7 customer support system and information rich support forum. They say that their policy is 'to be simpler, and do simply' ,as they do in case of their sign up process. They won't ask you much details other than site name you want , a password for your account and your email ID. You have to answer word verification twice. But it in turn useful to you as they will encounter less spam and thus more resources for you.

They use could computing system to provide a fast , reliable and robust service. As they claim, they have the capacity to have upto 2000 requests per second on ecah site.

They provide site back up system by which you can back up your site content in case you are not sure a change you are going to make on your site will work correcly or damage your data.



Author's Conclusion: If you ever want a free website , whether a personal page or a web 2.0 giant , I recommend to give Isrishti.In the first chance

SRWare Iron: Alternative to Google Chrome

Posted by Vishnuprasad R (Elf) On 12:37 0 comments
Which is the fastest web browse?
Well , it had been a question since the invention of world wide web.But now the question is answered when search engine giant Google introduced their open source browser 'Google Chrome. It has a nice interface providing a lot of room for the actual web content rather than those crappy toolbars and all; It got the world's fastest browser engine , Webkit, the one used by Apple's Safari.Chrome is in its version 2.0 now. So I don't think I need to explain about it more. If you haven't experimented it yet, get it here.I am pretty sure that you will forget those IE and Firefox once you have a glance at Chrome.

But does it lack something? I feel so. I travel a lot and sometimes need to go to areas where my laptop's internet connection doesn't work.So i have to go to some internet cafe. Or I may need to have a little googling when i am at client's site.But don't want to leave any browsing history or login information at someone's computer.So i always wish to have a portable browser.Yes, Iron is Portable! (Chrome not). You can have world's fastest browser with all your bookmarks on your USB stick.Doesn't it sound cool ?

Agreed. You are not a business man or tech guy and don't want to browse while you are out. But next comes the real point. How many of you are aware of it? Chrome doen't respect your privacy at all ,neither do Google.

Now it is about 2:00 AM and i think i should take a sleep.Let me leave this post incomplete till tomorrow. I am publishing this post as i know nobody is going to read it right now. This blog is not indexed by Google yet.

Five Reasons To Recommend Iron:
1.Fast and Portable
2.No privacy issues.

AVG Anti-Virus Review

Posted by Vishnuprasad R (Elf) On 16:33 0 comments
AVG Anti-Virus Free is advertised to protect against viruses, spyware, adware, and Trojans. It features a Resident Shield, which provides real-time protection by actively scanning files as they are copied, opened, and saved. It also safeguards critical Windows files. AVG Anti-Virus Free includes an E-mail scanner, which scans incoming and outgoing mail.
For protection online, AVG includes two features: AVG Active Surf-Shield and AVG Search-Shield. Active Surf-Shield protects users when they click on links; it blocks threats from entering the system. Search-Shield works in conjunction with search engines; it checks the links that appear in search engines and displays an icon next to them indicating whether they are safe or not.
