Neha Tiwari Pvt. Ltd., powered by Squarespace
Sunday, December 6, 2009 at 12:07PM Owning your own dot com is a wonderful feeling--there is a forum to share your thoughts and always something to do [blog!] As of today, NehaTiwari.com has officially joined the Squarespace family! This past year, Neha Tiwari Pvt. Ltd. went through a lot of down time and a number of problems. As a Dreamhost user for close to 3 years, I was relatively happy with my blogs uptime and general management as far as hosts go. I also loved working on Wordpress and learned so much on that archetypal platform. However, the problems were becoming unbearable this past year and my site was ultimately down for nearly a week because of some (mysterious) memory issues. I needed a fast solution and that is how I found Squarespace.
My friend Stephanie highly recommended them for their customer support and ease of use, two things that were very important to me. It did take a moment to learn how to use Squarespace, but after soaking up the user manual, I feel like I know how to do a lot on my webpage that I may have not been able to do on Wordpress. I also love that their customer support responded to me quickly and was easy to reach. I still am very much a Squarespace n00b and am learning every time I login.
Unfortunately, many of my old blog posts that were migrated over have some wonky formatting that I will have to manually correct. Squarespace also does not offer the custom domain or email services, luckily, many other services do [try FatCow or GoDaddy]. I feel good on Squarespace; it seems like the no BS solution for blogging.
With my last host, I had a small team of people who helped me with some of the backend stuff, namely my awesome webmaster Andrew. Now I can do everything by myself which is a wonderfully liberating feeling! I am still working on creating a new custom design on Squarespace so there might be some changes in the coming months.
I look forward to hearing from fellow Squarespace users on tips and everyone on suggestions on how I can make Neha Tiwari Pvt. Ltd. better for you, the reader. Now that I am on Squarespace, I have a renewed interest in my blog and I hope to post more in 2010 as well as change around the design. I will keep you all posted on how this goes and thank you for visiting my humble dot com since 2007--It's been amazing hearing your thoughts. Here's to a new year in a new net home!

The new blog looks so fresh and so clean clean! I'm really digging playing around with Squarespace myself, and I might even move my own [deathly quiet] blog over. Looking forward to reading more!
