Hi guys, of late, gmail has been loading very slowly for me. This means that, when ever I give my username and password at the login screen, after successful login, the screenshot shown below displays.

When that happens we hate to wait for infinitely long times. So, I discovered a simple hack through which you can eliminate that screen.

Notice that the address bar contains the URL of the format http://mail.google.com/mail?auth=DQAA etc.

Now, all you have to do is, change the “http://” in your browser’s address bar to “https://”, which means the URL will now look like https://mail.google.com/mail?auth=DQAA etc. Press Enter. Gmail loads faster.

Web Hosting Choice is a one stop place to choose the right web host for your site. I find a lot of people these days are shifting to their own domains and are very confused and intimidated with the number of choices. They also find it inconvenient to manually check the specifications of each web host provider and make an informed decision based on the features and money involved.

In more cases they find themselves in a bad deal and crib. Web Hosting Choice comes to the rescue. They cater to all needs, from personal websites to large e-commerce websites. They provide this service for free and don’t even spam you with advertisements.

For those who are new to web hosting, they also provide you with a quick learner’s guide, which walks you through web hosting in great detail. From what is a domain to what is the best hosting, everything is been covered in the faqs.

If you aren’t a novice and want specific features and a good deal, they also have advanced search which has a comprehensive checklist of features that you may pick from. If you aren’t sure about the specifics, then you should stick with the quick search, which has four fields: Monthly cost, Setup fee, Disk space, Bandwidth. You can edit the values of these four fields to see which host will suit your purpose. Also as you load the page, a default value has been assigned to these fields to provide you with a rough idea on what a normal website would require.

What I liked best about their website, is the scam section in the learning center, where they enlighten you into the scams and traps that you may fall into while signing up for a web host. Do read it, even if you aren’t planning to buy a domain in the near future.

They also have a directory of web hosting companies, which is comprehensive. If they have left out any that you know of, then you can submit the url at their submit page.

bothack.in expired a few months back and I just used Web Hosting Choices to find a good deal for a new domain
