As if this is actually news to anyone, one of the number one choices that have to be made when hosting a website is where to actually host the site. And there’s no shortage of hosts from which to choose.

For beginners, it’s easy to look for cheap hosting, for more advanced users, it’s easy to look at managed hosting, dedicated hosting, VPS hosting, and for some businesses, it’s even best to look for reseller hosting.

Regardless where you fall, hosting is one of the most critical components that comes with running your own website – especially as it starts to grow beyond a basic blog and/or a basic site.

Over the years, I’ve experienced a number of different hosts – some great, some not so great – and I’ve usually blogged about a number of them. But as this site has continued to grow and as Pressware has continued to grow as well as head into a different direction, I opted to change hosts sometime ago.

Back in December, the team at ThemeFuse was kind enough to offer a giveaway and have offered to do the same again this month.

Since I try to take advantage of certain opportunities that help benefit those of you who are budding and/or experienced WordPress bloggers, designers, developers, and so on, I thought that it would be a good idea to go ahead and take them up on a second offer.

One of the more popular services that has to come to WordPress within the last year or so is the ability to integrate Git into your theme, plugin, and/or application development workflow.

And why shouldn’t it?

Services like GitHub and Bitbucket are responsible for the rise of Git, has introduced many people to source control (who I wonder if they’d ever use it), and then third-party services have made it possible for other people to connect their repository to another environment and deploy the changes.

It completely cuts out the middle-man of S/FTP and makes sure that we’re able to deploy true changesets of our work so that the code that’s sitting in our staging (or even production) areas are as updated as possible.

I’ve been using Postmatic to manage my blog comments for quite sometime now – since November, even. In fact, I’ve written two previous posts about the plugin:

1. Making The Switch To Postmatic
2. My Initial Thoughts on Using Postmatic

Since those posts, I’ve continued to run Postmatic – I’ve been through every single release of the beta, I’ve been through the release candidates, I’ve experienced the bugs that come with it (and I know some of my readers have as well – thanks for the tweets on those, by the way :), and I’ve been through their resolution.

To say that I’ve not experienced each hill and valley of the business as a customer since last November is an understatement. The fast turn around and direct communication with Jason and the rest of the development team couldn’t be better.

Other companies could take note, but that’s another post for another day.

Today, Postmatic has officially hit 1.0 and I couldn’t be more excited for the team.
