    Multiple Extensions

    I have seen this happened several times with big websites. Sometimes they even buy and redirect domains with slightly off names in various extensions, only to redirect it to the main domain. Competition is really fierce when the group is growing big because you can guess that some smaller groups...

    What About The Host?

    I had to move one of my project because the host couldn't process the payment system very well. It was confusing and we ended up losing data. I understand if one wants to move the domain to another host with better builders, protections, or perhaps parking options; otherwise, a month trial may...

    Where I Get My Domain Name Ideas From

    That's a clever idea. Sometimes it is beyond budget of the starting stage, although we can also use the list as a good source of inspiration or variation for similar names. That way, we can still benefit from both links.

    Building your own hosting

    Sometimes it feels like a real challenge finding a hosting that suits our needs. One possible solution is to build one of our own, although it is definitely a waste if we only use it for our own projects. Running it as a business is a whole new level, though. What are the biggest challenges of...

    Indian domain growth reaches 12% in last 3 years

    The growth is indeed inspiring and expected, given how India provides more support to spread the technology. I'm interested in the penetration number, though. It seems as if even though it's vastly available across the country, only a handful of people use it. It would be able to help the...

    Accredited domain registrars

    An acquaintance registered his domain with a relatively unknown registrar for a cheap price. Problems happened and he couldn't access the domain for more than a week when he wanted to transfer it somewhere else. Looks like it's going to be solved soon, though. But I agree, reputation and quality...

    Developing multiple websites

    The popular quote says that experience is the best teacher, although I would stay away from working on too many projects at a time. It is equally dangerous for a beginner and a veteran because these things can be quite unpredictable and often require detailed management. Unfortunately, we can...

    Alternate mobile site or whole site mobile-friendly?

    I am the type of user who likes straight-forward content with the least data requirement. I would probably prompt for the simple-but-light-and-fast design for mobile platform because such people are usually pressed for time and need to be able to find content relatively fast. I would rather use...

    Criteria for choosing niche

    If you are interested to challenge yourself a bit, think further beyond things you like and see the trend. Talking about technology has a better prospect than building a website related to a specific TV show which will end one day for sure. I still think that you should love doing what you do...

    Domain trading

    Right now I don't have domains to trade yet. I was simply interested in the concept of trading because this depends on subjective opinions and guesses. If one is interested in a domain you own, wouldn't you get more defensive about the said domain and end up keeping it for yourself? I was...

    Best free email providers?

    I concur with JackD about Hotmail emails. In a forum I run, the account activation problems we get are mostly from Hotmail users. I would also choose Gmail to start with. Compared to Yahoo Mail or Hotmail, Gmail supports more group-related activities and options, which may be useful for business...

    Indian domain growth reaches 12% in last 3 years

    Based on this article, India has the highest rate of domain growth in the world at 12%. The gTLDs are used more than the local extensions, and most are used for websites or businesses. On the other hand, the domain penetration number (defined as number of domains names per 100 users) is only...

    Lightweight alternatives to wordpress?

    Tumblr is not available for self-host. If you want to use Tumblr, you will need to go directly to their website. It's open for custom domains and pages are relatively easy to manage. I would agree if one says it is easier to manage than WordPress, but it comes with limited features.

    Best sites for video?

    How long will the videos be? People around me are heavy users of YouTube and Instagram. They are easy to access from mobile gadgets, better support across platforms, and relatively easier for marketing. Perhaps that is why it is still popular despite the problems. Nothing is perfect, after all.

    Domain trading

    The domain business is largely about reading the market and the trend, then decide on which ones to invest on as early as possible. People are more likely to hold on to their domains and let go once it's not looking good anymore. Is there any space for trades or swaps to happen? Under what...

    Accredited domain registrars

    Remember to crosscheck with the source of accreditation when possible. It's easy to make up lies, so one can never be too careful. Try making small deals before moving to bigger ones. I suppose the tension is not so high if the registrars are widely known and used. It's understandable if we want...

    Appraising Avatar Sites

    Avatars, you mean like these profile images? I didn't think that those websites would provide any high-level art because it's a waste. People mostly go to Google image to get one or use the pictures they take themselves anyway. I suppose if it has high traffic, it can be considered more like a...

    The Art Of The Deal

    I can see why some people would be interested in this for the art, though for me, I could not do it too often due to various situations. Despite how we say "just for the art", it actually involves a lot of effort and analysis before making the decision. Perhaps this may be possible in a small...

    Is blog commenting a big mistake

    Perhaps people misunderstand such action for making a backlink. I agree that it is annoying, though. I take time to try to give something to the community before I ask something back by leaving a link. Building a name is important, after all. We can't afford to look like or being marked as spam.

    Welcome to .fun!

    I read that a new gTLD was released recently: that is the .fun extension. It is such a 'fun' extension and it definitely has a good future prospect for various projects, especially for ones related to entertainment. Have you bought some domains with this extension? What are your thoughts on this...
