PageDefrag v2.32

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

One of the limitations of the Windows NT/2000 defragmentation interface is that it is not possible to defragment files that are open for exclusive access. Thus, standard defragmentation programs can neither show you how fragmented your paging files or Registry hives are, nor defragment them. Paging and Registry file fragmentation can be one of the leading causes of performance degradation related to file fragmentation in a system.

PageDefrag uses advanced techniques to provide you what commercial defragmenters cannot: the ability for you to see how fragmented your paging files and Registry hives are, and to defragment them. In addition, it defragments event log files and Windows 2000/XP hibernation files (where system memory is saved when you hibernate a laptop).

PageDefrag works on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Server 2003.

Windows virtual memory is where windows stores data from RAM when it requires more RAM for programs and RAM installed on your PC is insufficient. By default windows stores this data on c:\pagefile.sys. And windows manages this pagefile size. This may lead to slow computer or performance decrease if you don’t have sufficient RAM.

To overcome this set the pagefile manually.

Bizhat Free web hosting

/ Guttu / 1 Comment

To start with I’ll first review my current webhost. So far this is the best web hosting I came across. When you register for this you get,

* 50 MB Web Space
* 5 GB Monthly Transfers
* FTP Access for Uploading
* Server-Side Includes (SSI)
* IE Based File Manager
* No Ads, No Banners, No Pop-Ups
* Hosted Message Board, Hit Counter
* Sub Domain Name (YOU.BizHat.com)

There is no PHP and MySQL support by default. If you contribute in Bizhat forums you get upgrades for free. The more you post, the more you get upgrades. The speeds are too good. This applies to uploading files also.

But there are some cons too. The FTP works in safe mode. So you cannot move or rename the files. You have to be careful with naming when you upload. Secondly, you must post 5 good posts in the forum to activate the webhosting. Although this is easy, many dont like this part.

Other than this I didn’t find any issues. Get your free space here

You can also use other services like blog hosting,image hosting and phpBB forum hosting for free.
