A Good Factual Review about 1&1 Hosting?

Makes a change. It’s hard to find a positive and factual “customer” review about 1&1 these days, but here is an obviously satisfied customer with a factual expert assessment and advise. Clearly 1and1 must be doing something right as they are one of the worlds largest web hosts.

About 1&1 Internet,( 1and1 Hosting )

Maybe its just me. But I’ve always thought there has been some confusion over 1&1’s actual name. They are officially `1&1` but of course their websites are at 1and1.co.uk and 1and1.com obviously.

This forces some people to hunt on Google for the correct URL for 1&1, Some search for “oneandone.” One or two searchers make common typo’s such as `i&i` or `1&i` `i&1` `iandi` and so on, but despite this the company has become a massive success, and has earn’t the title “the worlds web host.”

1and1 Web Hosting Review

A more thorough than usual review of of 1&1 Web Hosting. Strange how the biggest and most popular hosts get some of the worst reviews. I mean if they were that big, how did they get so damn big? I’ve had a few servers with1&1 now without issue. Just remember that you are on your own with tech support. However because of their supurb re-image tool, console access and a decent backup stategy, there should be no need for calling their tech support

This is because the company founded in 1992 by Ralph Dommermuth, operates on a global scale with over 15,000MBit of network capacity. 1&1 currently employ’s over 150 developers and administrators. Total Employees amount to nearer 1,300.

Are Keyword Spy Tools Any Good

I’m been wondering for a while if any of these keyword spy tool are any good and whether they produce accurate results. Perhaps one way to check is to “spy” on your own website. I can see them working better for paid search rather than organic search.

Keyword Spy will then tell you what keywords your competition are bidding on (you enter the URL of your competitor). Obviously its not going to be 100% accurate but will give you a prett ygood idea of what keywords they have optimised for!

Virtual Windows Vista on Mac OSX

I’ve been want to run another operating system side by side for some time. This is done with a “VM.” Quite simply Windows is “fooled” into running as Guest Operating system on Mac OS X.

I love booting up my Mac and working in the Mac OS environment. Then I like to launch a Windows application without having to reboot. It sounds weird I know, but that’s the world of “virtualization” I suppose.

MySpace Loses myspace.co.uk in DRS Appeal

A success for TWS barring a High Court Appeal and a success it would seem for the lawyer Jim Davies who is a candidate Board Elections.
clipped from www.theregister.co.uk

MySpace stripped of myspace.co.uk domain victory

Secondly, the panel considered the crucial (and more broadly relevant) question of how much control TWS had over what appeared on the parking site. It accepted that TWS had not interfered with the content of myspace.co.uk, including when ads relating to social networking began to appear. Rather, they had been generated and updated by Sedo’s software, so it was natural that MySpace’s rapid rise be reflected.

UK net registry battles coup d’etat

Updated Nominet, the not-for-profit registry for .co.uk web addresses, is facing an attempted coup by a group of members who want to force its bosses to hand back millions of pounds in surplus fees.

The company took the rearguard step on Monday of writing to all its 3,000 members encouraging them to turn out to vote in ongoing elections for two non-executive board members. The official communication (pdf) goes as far as campaigning against the three would-be usurpers: Darren Brown, Jim Davies, and Robert Fox.

Reasons for having your own domain name

Good idea’s for owning your own domain name
clipped from www.weycrest.co.uk
Why Do You Need a Domain Name?
Your web name is your own “unique identifier” on the internet, which can define your website and email address. No two entities ever hold the same domain name at the same time.


Your domain name is therefore unique to you. If you have a business website its possible your domain name is also your online brand. Additionally your domain name gives your web site, and e-mail addresses that professional look, being unique to your business.

Dell’s Lawsuit Reveals Lucrative Domain Name Business

A legal case brought by Dell is apparently revealing the “enormous” sums of money made by Web Pages full of paid advertising links.
clipped from www.technewsreview.com.au

Each of the websites in question was monetised and has advertising provided by Google Adsense and Google was ordered to hold the first $1 million collected in a special account “on behalf of the defendants each month. The second $1 million that accrues in the account every month will be given to the defendants. If more than $2 million accrues in one month, the money is split between the defendants and the Google account.”
