My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

The Register.com Exodus I recently started my domain exodus from Register.com. I have about 15 domains registered with Register.com, and at $35 a pop, per year, the cost adds up pretty fast. NameCheap.com's prices are a measly $8.88 per domain per year. That's just a third of Register.com's prices. How can Register.com even compete or stay in business? What frosts me the most is when I started my domain transfers, I got an email from Register.com stating that they would charge me only $12.95 per domain if I stayed with them! It was somewhat enticing just for the fact of not experiencing a 24-72 hour disconnect. However, that pissed me off even more, so I continued with my exodus. These are my domains: bishopfoley.com, cheatcodes.net, cheatercode.com, crazycheat.com, digitalarchiver.com, digitalarchivers.com, dinofilias.com, filias.net, fmvss.com, fmvss.net, horizonroofing.com, mulligansgolfcenter.com, mydigitalarchives.com, sigtau.com, techtau.com, and uscgcmesquite.com. Many of these domains aren't even active sites: digitalarchiver.com, digitalarchivers.com, fmvss.com and fmvss.net. I just bought them because I thought they were pretty high-level domains. And for $35 per domain, it was not worth it to hold on to them. For $8.88, it's a deal. And mydigitalarchives.com actually points to my Comcast home IP address that has been static for years. I think it only changed once. I use that domain to point to my home cameras, as well as access my router remotely. DinoFilias.com Downtime Unfortunately, there will be a slight downtime of dinofilias.com. That domain is in the transfer queue, which means when the transfer is complete, there will be no dinofilias.com for 24-72 hours. Oh well. It's worth it. Two New Domains! Danielle and her sister, Rhiannon, are now proud owners of their own domains: pensule.com and rhicap.com. I just couldn't pass up on pensule.com. That is definitely a HIGH-LEVEL domain. It wasn't available a year ago. Some Pensule forgot to renew, or they just gave up on that domain. I snatched it up. Who knows what Danielle will want to do with it? She'll definitely have her own photo album, and email. Perhaps she'll want a bulletin board. The sky's the limit! Rhiannon wanted her own website to start storing her digital pictures. She got a digital camera for her birthday and wanted her own online photo gallery. Rhicap.com is a perfect name for her online photo gallery. posted by Dino at 10:42 AM (permanent link) |
