Always experience the dreadful downtime of Streamyx default DNS? Here is the list of TMNet Streamyx Backup DNS server. It might be useful if the usual DNS server ‘mysteriously’ stopped working :

202.188.0.132
202.188.0.133
202.188.0.147
202.188.0.161
202.188.0.181
202.188.0.182
202.188.1.4
202.188.1.5
202.188.1.23
202.188.1.25

Remember, copy and put it in a safe place in case if you need it afterwards, it might be handy.

p/s: DNS or domain names system is a system that responsible in translating domain name (like google.com and tipvista.com) to IP address of the corresponding computer server like (72.232.16.43 or 69.76.54.121).

Without DNS, we won’t be able to surf the internet without memorizing those IP address and surfing the internet will be much more difficult than we used too.

A short post, but today I would like to share you two WordPress plugins that could save your blog’s (and possibly your) life.


WP-Cron and WP-DB-Backup helps you to backup your WordPress files periodically to your email. You probably already have WP-DB-Backup If you’re using WordPress 2.x, I hope that you would have already utilised this plugin as it can be handy to backup your WordPress installations.

WP-Cron takes the backup process further by automating WP-DB-Backup job to send daily wordpress backup to your emails. Although this seems redundant most of the time, rest assured it will be worth it when your Web Hosting fs*ck on you.

For this to work, I suggest that you send your wordpress backup to a gmail account since gmail account is able to store gigabytes of data, so your wordpress backup will be save there should you need it.

You can download WP-DB-Backup and WP-Cron from http://www.skippy.net/blog/plugins/

My web hosting messed up my blog

Hey guys, I’ve a bad news for you, my web hosting (which previously hosted this domain) really got messed up. It seems that they have problem with late paying bills of their reseller account.

So now my account accidently suspended and so are theirs, I don’t know how much days it will take for them to clear things up, but I wont put my hopes much, I think i rather start this blog from scratch rather than wait for them to recover (if that the case!).

Why did I have to start from scratch? Well to make the story short, It seems I’ve deleted all my backup about this blog from my pc, so here I am, back to square one. But I promised to keep this blog updated with new posts and tips.

So my advise is, please choose your web hosting company and domain carefully, they might fscked with you if you’re not careful enough.

p/s: no prize will be given for those who are able to guess which is my web hosting company :p
