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.”

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!

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.

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.”

Twitter Paying the Rent

This blogger reports that Twitter is paying his rent and suggests some useful tools to interact with
clipped from marshallk.com

This weekend will mark one month that I’ve been writing over at Read/WriteWeb and doing consulting. In my previous stints as an online news writer (which I missed very much) I was often able to break news faster than my tech blogging competitors primarily through some advanced use of RSS feeds, which I wrote about here. I’m still doing that in this job, but there’s a new tool that’s making a huge impact on my reporting – Twitter!
