Computing Unleashed was started on 15th August 2008 on blogger platform http://www.computingunleashed.blogspot.com. After two months the site started getting some visitors. So i thought of getting a domain name. But due to the lack of money and failing in making some, i left that idea. A couple of days after i saw a free dot com domain give away contest announced at a blog TechRaga . One seeing that i quickly applied for it. But when the results were announced after a month (Dec 16) i was astonished to hear that i was the winner in there. That was one of the happiest moments in my life. This might not matter much to you, but at that time it was some thing like heaven for me. That was the first milestone of Computing Unleashed. After 6 months the site started gaining good traffic. This was the time when two of my posts became popular on the hugely popular social bookmarking sites digg, stumbleupon and delicious. So the next idea was to shift to a more powerful platform to blog ie. “WordPress”. But the idea still remained as such since i didn’t have any money with me, so i was not able to buy a hosting and switch to it. Without losing hope, i still waited and finally managed to make some 110$ in a month and finally bought the hosting. The next was the problem in migrating to wordpress without losing any links page rank etc. I was worried about all such things, but was confident of doing it myself by the situation at that time didn’t allowed me to do so. Time was a factor. So i was looking for help for some body who can do it quickly. Harsh Agarwal of shoutmeloud helped me in migrating to wordpress.
Now Computing Unleashed receives over 3000 visitors daily with over 1500 subscribers and i am making a pretty good amount online from this too. There are a lot of future plans for the blog now which will be implemented soon. Now the journey continues……..
