The old stuff in new packaging

Can’t be as bad as break dancing, Some of the moves (A few moves) are not bad at all, i only noticed it wasn’t random when 4 did it in-sync, but regardless, it is interesting, one of the moves comes from old Russian folk dance, it is very close to the end of the video.

Anyway, it seems yet another dance is picking up, wishing them luck, but it does not sound like a hit to me

ICANN open gTLD policy very soon

So, as you might already know, those who can afford a gTLD are going to be able to get it soon.

I can already find people who are opening up for preorders on gTLDs like

Business

.deal, .movie, .food, .free, .music, .golf, .news

Cities

.berlin, .london, .miami, .dallas

Other

.family, .arab, .gal

So, will this slow down the .COM ? in my oppinion, nothing can slow down the .COM, i always advise people to always get the .COM even if they want there main website to be .net.

The reason is, when people want to visit you directly, they will either google your business name, or enter it followed by a .COM, if you get the .NET and no .COM to forward to it you will probably be loosing visitors to the competitor who has the .COM.

Othe gTLDs did not result in the revolution everyone expected, Always a Gold Rush, then 1 year after, people would not even bother renew the domain, if it is not a .COM, it is hard to make it work for you.

I do think the ICANN’s idea of approving any gTLD for anyone is a good idea, for example you will probably be able to download your drivers from www.drivers.hp but i don’t think HP would ever drop the HP.COM website or let’s say depreciate it.

Even if some gTLDs do pick up, i don’t expect anything revolutionary, nothing capable of stopping the .COM growth, but i do think they will have there place, some place at least.


comapring registrars

An ongoing comparison of Domain Name Registrars, more like Registrar Watch shows that GoDaddy alone has 36 Million Domain names registered, combined with WildWestDomains has more than 40 million, While the next in the list ENOM has 9.5 million, So the GoDaddy group is by far the largest registrar for domain names, 4 times the size of the second in the list !

From that website, it seems GoDaddy is the largest Shared Hosting provider as well, but i can not be sure about Servers, as i doubt they come close to theplanet (Which now owns EV1SERVERS)

I wonder how the new ICANN plans to introduce TLDs will affect the map of the domain name business, i am currently investigating the ICANN new ideas as they have a meeting very soon concerning the issue.

Also worth mentioning is that this is the first time i get to see the actual cost to registrars, the website lists the registry costs (For example how much verisign charges for .com and .net) and how much Public Interest Registry charges for a .ORG, so check it out

Madonna Meets the Parents..

Madonna Arriving in Rio de Janeiro Brazil

Madonna Arriving in Rio de Janeiro Brazil

Yikes, that is going to be a little bit awkward don’t you think?? Jesus Luz and his welll hmmmm!!! Madonna arrived in Brazil yesterday on a Private Jet, and check this out.. Madonna is there to meet his parents..  That is really something especially that Jesus’ mother is 15 years younger than his girlfriend.. which makes him a baby.. See what money does people?? it changes the rules of nature…. Do you think that Madonna is nervous?? and does that mean that they are planning for something?? Even though Madonna said she’d rather get hit by a freight train than getting married, i think that Jesus is gonna put that white dress on our queen.. we’ll just have to wait and see..

Backup, Very important

Every few months or so, we need to reach for our most recent backup (Our daily incremental backup), and the reason for that is the outdated packages with our CP software.

A few days ago, i got an SMS telling me i have mail from a datacenter, strange because i did not submit any tickets !

It seems the datacenter found some “Virus like code” on the server, and fixed it by deleting the code.

mmmmmmmmm, how did they know about it even before me, i am still investigating

The server was and still is up and running, the code was only found in a user’s home directory so it is not urgent (The system was not hit by the virus since it is a Windows virus and this is a linux server), but i am still going to change PLESK anyways ;) .

I don’t think i should post the datacenter’s email content, but it seems very obvious to me that the user’s FTP password was compromised, or his PC was infected, either way, this should not be a big deal (The client does need to re-upload the content)

I need to thank the datacenter, for the email, the email showed me exactly what files were affected, and even included the Attack logfiles, nice going guys at EWD…

Will keep you updated on what happens when i change plesk and if i ever find a CP with this much eye candy for our art loving clients.
