1. DigitalOcean
Selection of the Hosting Service was a big challenge for me. Because never wanted to compromise with the speed and efficiency of my website. It provides me a quick and easy way to host my website. Its droplet feature is amazing and easy to deploy, and also an inspiration for me to go with it.

2. Namecheap
Namecheap is basically a Domain Name Provider and hosting service. It was founded in 2000 by Richard Kirkendall, and is based in Arizona USA.
I chose this because of some of the attractive features one of my close friends in the IT field told me about. It is cheap in price; For example, for .com it’s $6.16/year (including ICANN Fee $0.18) which I paid for my domain imdaya.com and also provide hosting if someday I make my mind to try its hosting. It has solid security features, flexible in domain management services, and also 24hr customer support available. The managing domain is very easy with Namecheap.
3. Grammarly
Can’t ignore this amazing tool. English is not my first language so I make mistakes sometimes, mostly during writing an article for my blog. Therefore, I must make sure its grammar and readability is all Okay or have to make some corrections.
I run my articles through the check on this tool and make my article more perfect. It gives also free access but most of the features are available in the premium version of the tool. But this time I am using its free version and getting an advantage from it a lot.
4. GIGL
It is a mobile app that provides me the great knowledge. The Great Ideas Great Life –GIGL, is an Indian Online Book Summary store where every week GIGL team upload 10 to 12 new book summaries.
The summaries are always short and very clear. This is the biggest Made India Book Summary App. I can read, listen to audiobook summaries and also watch videos containing the essence of the book. It provides me text and audio in Hindi and English languages.
I can easily switch to the language in which I understand better, the Hindi or English version of most Book summaries on the Audio-Books section. I prefer the Hindi Language most of the time because it is very close to my native language Urdu and easy to understand without any effort. It has both free and paid subscriptions.
I use the free version because there is too much to learn for free, but later I may go for a premium subscription.
I may upgrade to premium in the future. Each day one book summary is my goal and successfully achieving it every day.
Key Features of the App are:
- Audio-Books
- e-Books
- Rate and Review
- Video
- Categories
