Reviewing some domain purchases I've made.

So... this is the re-grand opening of the site then? Seems like it's been around for quite some time.

Whoa, another Twitter-type account. I totally need another one of those.

Seems like it's still doing it, I just tried connecting to the site and it took upwards of 20 seconds to load. I tried pinging the server and it was dropping packets as well. It seems like the server is overloaded, probably disk or processor-wise. If you're using a database for your site that...

Kennedy.com, Matt.com, Matthew.com, USA.com

The odds at winning in scratch-offs and the lottery in general is so low that I'd rather just take that money and use it to make my own destiny rather than rely on a game of chance to do it for me.

You can keep your domain with whatever registrar you're signed up with right now. You don't need to transfer a domain in order to host a website. Just redirect the DNS to the servers your webhost allocates to you.

You can host your own forum on your shared account. I would stay away from Network Solutions. They're rather expensive for what they are...

I'm familiar with the whole overselling shared hosting thing. I was on one for about 9 months before I upgraded to a dedicated server. Those numbers they're mentioning there are irrelevant. You'll never use that much without having a dedicated server. They'll throw you off and disable your site...

I've seen that deal before. I would say stay away! You won't be able to utilize those amount of resources on a shared webhost. Ridiculous numbers like that are just setting you up for trouble down the road when you actually try to use them. You're going to have to spend a lot of money if you...

I have to agree with Acroplex... SoftLayer is very nice. Certainly blows most of the competition right out of the water.

Hey all. Been lurking around here for awhile now. Enjoy reading up on the business aspect of domain names. Not particularly interested in buying any here, or selling what I've got though. I'll probably go back to lurking for awhile. Rather keep my mouth shut than open it and say something...

If you put 9999 into their promo code area you can get $99 off. Last I heard anyways...

The domain is registered in your name, and after six months you can transfer away from Microsoft's service.

MS Office Live Basics will continue to be free after the beta is over. It's Live Essentials that will cost $29.95 after the beta is over.

I would suggest you look into using CSS for your page design. What you have seems pretty rigid... and... bland. I'm not sure what type of design you're going for, but you should probably pick up CSS no matter what, it'll make design changes much quicker to implement as well. If you're wondering...

I would go with a font style for the horizontal navigation bar that matches the logo at the top, or at least has a similar cartoony feel to it. Of course it still needs to be easily readable, but it would remove that corporate template feel.

There's more to this now... you can use the free hosting credit to set up an ad-supported Economy plan with them. You get 5 gigs of space and 250 gigs of bandwidth for free, and you can do the nice things like MySQL, PHP, .htaccess and whatnot.
