LG Rumor Touch Review

The LG Rumor Touch from Virgin Mobile is my current phone. I have the Beyond Talk $25 a month plan. The plan has unlimited internet and 300 minutes a month.

Sometimes YouTube videos will get an error when trying to play them.

There are a few free programs you can load from Virgin like google maps and opera mini. You can't load other programs unless you hack it.

The google maps program that works on this phone does not have spoken directions which would be nice when you are driving.

You can use most HTML websites with either the built-in netfront web browser or opera mini.

The phone has good battery life. I think I can use it about a week assuming I am not using the phone a lot.

I really like the phone even if it is not as good as a smart phone; however, now that they have an Android phone available I think I will upgrade in the future so I can do more.

SeekDotNet ASP.NET web host review

I used seekdotnet for a web host for several years but I am not using it right now.

I am giving a review because when looking for a cheap web host you always see a lot of negative reviews so you think that none of them are any good.

I had their cheapest plan. I think I used their service for several years. I was using ASP.NET and MySQL and PHP.

My websites where not large in database size and not getting a lot of traffic but the speed and performance of their web host service was OK.

There was downtime but they would fix it usually within a few hours. I can't remember how many times it went down but I think it was once every few months.

I also had some technical issues from time to time. I always sent a help ticket online and they would respond normally the same day and would fix things pretty fast. Some issues were problems with their system and some were things I did not know how to do.

I liked how they let you use your total disk space amount for the MySQL database if you want. On the SQL Server database they limit the amount of database disk space to an amount that is much less than your total disk space.

There was a billing issue that they never fixed but it was not a big deal. Every time they charged my Visa card which was once every 6 months I got an extra small charge of about $1.25 for currency conversion from my Visa card company. I complained to seekdotnet about it but apparently they can't do anything about the issue. I think the issue has something to do with them being an Australian company. I contacted my credit card company and they said it was for currency conversion.

Overall I thought the service was pretty good and would use it again.
