So as I said, I started developing a website about "Maps of Bangladesh" locally for using my leisure time after trying different options & expiration of my only domain (manchitro.org).
For my development, I was using Joomla. And the problem I was facing is templates. There were so many different types of templates but unfortunately, nothing suits me. And I was unable to make Joomla template. After searching for a long time I started developing with a basic three column template. So I have Joomla installed locally, got my template and having all the maps. So I started developing a user-friendly image map website. I spent months & years for creating, rearranging & destroying my own work. After a very long time, the website comes into a shape. And finally, I'm almost ready to go online.
But unfortunately, my laptop crashed along with all my website data. All I have left was a bunch of image maps of Districts & Upazilas of Bangladesh. I thought I was out of this forever. So I stop re-development of my old work & let the time fly. Then one day I found out more detailed maps of Bangladesh in a Government organization of Bangladesh. That's LGED (www.lged.gov.bd) website. They have full featured GIS department to develop detailed maps. I started downloading again. It took months to collect all the maps from LGED website. At this point, I got transferred to the area where my family lives.
I think I was addicted of developing a map website. So I start to developing again. This time I develop locally and also on a free hosting server (Byethost may be). As I've finalized the pattern of my website last time, this time my development becomes easier & less time-consuming. As I can't afford to lose the site data again, I was developing locally & updating the free server site regularly. And also I was looking for a domain name.
Suddenly one day I found the domain THEBANGLADESH.NET is free for registration. I was very happy to get the domain registered for myself. And also I questioned myself why this domain left unregistered! Finally, I find out that this domain was previously registered to some online newspaper. They left & I got my domain registered at NameCheap.
NameCheap is an affordable domain name registrar who also has excellent service and I recommend them to everyone I know who want to buy domains. And the customer service of NameCheap is also top notch. Recently I mistakenly buy one domain name using one of my colleague's credit card, and after contacting with NameCheap's customer service, they processed my request and refund to my colleague's card within very short time. Special thanks to 'Ksenia Tabaka' for taking all the hassles for me. That's all for today. Thanks for reading.
