Netfleet Announced Partnership With Netregistry

If you´re an Australian domain owner or have interest in this market there are some fresh news: Netfleet announced a partnership with Netregistry.
For Australian domain market, this means the leading domain name registrar partners with biggest domain aftermarket.
Larry Bloch, CEO of Netregistry, said: “We see significant growth in this area. Currently our efforts are focused on education as much as anything - most people do not even realize that domain names are now tradeable assets so it's a question of creating the industry as well as satisfying the demand."
With this partnership, Netfleet´s objective is to expand and improve their domain trading site: “Bringing together the existing proprietary technology of our current website with the massive customer base of the Netregistry group, we expect to cement Netfleet as the leading destination for domain name trading. We hope to attract thousands of new listings by capitalizing on Netregistry's customer base of over 250,000 businesses.”
Netfleet's domains for sale get maximum exposure to potential buyers. The best part is they don´t charge domain owners to list their domain properties on the site or a fee for any successful transaction.
Registrars have become a "all in one shop" where clients can get distinct services, such as domain name, pre-built websites, website development services, hosting, software, etc. This partnership can help expand the "au" domain market. In short term, Netfleet hopes to provide more domain names for sale, more domain buyers, more site features while maintaining the actual customer driven focus.

New Website That Rates Hosting Services

When I started blogging I choose a free platform, like most new bloggers do. I was a newbie with few tech knowledge, so eveything had to be the simplier possible. Having a blog in a free platform is very handy, it has no costs associated but it also has disvantages, like the possibility of loosing content and having less control over your blog.
I´ve read the advice several times in different blogs about blogging resources: If you´re serious about blogging you better have your own domain and a selfhosted blog. Now, it´s not easy for a newbie to make this type of decisions just a couple month after starting, it takes time, commitment, hard work and a learning curve.
As I mentioned in previous posts about hosting, I think that before you take any decisions, it´s important to look around and be informed .
Webhostingrating is a new website that was created with the objective of rating hosting services. Besides rating this type of services this new website provides articles with tech information that can be very helpful when you decide to take this step. For example, they have cPanel tutorials and info about cheap hosting.
So, if you´re looking for a new host or articles about webhost, check out this website, it´s a new, well designed, and has a good amount of content about hosting.

Hosting Services Rating Website

Not long ago I wrote a post about choosing a good web hosting service. After searching information about this topic I realized that I should check out different sources before making any decision. One of the sources I came across was Webhostingrating website.
Webhostingrating.com is a website that provides independent customer rating of top ten best web hosting companies. In this website you´ll find information about web hosting providers and reviews of their hosting plans. The rating system used is based on several aspects of the host services like customer satisfaction, affordability, reliability, uptime and technical support.
Webhostingrating website also provides an article section with topics related to hosting services, like the article called “The truth about cheap hosting” which I found very informative. If you´re looking for hosting information check out this free resource, it might help you when comparing this type of services.

Web Hosting: Free and Useful Info

Hi everyone. Not long ago I posted some info about web hosting. After that post I took a second look to all the searches I did and I came across a website that offers very useful info about this topic.
Web Hosting Choice is a completely advertising free hosting directory that provides both a directory on web hosts and an educational area which beginners, and even experienced webmasters, can learn new things about hosting.
Webhostingchoice is completely free for both customers and web hosts. They do not charge for a listing in their directory and, very important, they aren´t run by a web hosting company either. In this website I found the info I was looking for and once I think it´s a well built and useful website I´m posting this brief review here. You can find this website in: http://www.webhostingchoice.com/

Domain Names is a Growing Business

Hi.
Every day new domain names are registered, and others expire. Maybe, like me, you already noticed that domain names is a growing business. For example, it seams that all domain names with four letters, and dot com, are taken and most domains with basic words were sold too. So, this domains are more valuable now, than some months ago.


Domains with few letters or basic words are being sold by thousands of dollars, check out registars and you´ll see what I´m talking about. Domain names maybe a good business for those who have invested in this area. I´ve seen advertising whith pages filled up with domains for sale, most related to business and money, keywords like loans, debt, credit cards, and others. So, what I´m trying to say is: there´s a lot to be earned in this field once it´s a growing business, but as moast online ventures it´s got risk involved.
See you soon.

Network Solutions Web Hosting Services Review

To have a website online you need three things: a domain name, the website itself, and a web host.
The domain name is the address where others can find you and the web hosting is an online storage service that you will need to display your website content. If you don´t have much technical knowledge you will also need a website builder tool, but you can find all this services in just one place.
Networksolutions is a web hosting provider that offers a vast set of solutions for domain name registration, web hosting, and has an easy to use site builder tool called Image Café.
Network Solutions hosting products include a domain name (with annual hosting), a site building tool, file transfer protocol (FTP) accounts for moving an existing website, and 99.9% uptime reliability.

For example, with a standard package, that cost $9.96 a year, you´ll have 25 GB of disk space, 250 GB of monthly data transfer, 25 FTP accounts and 500 e-mail boxes. If you think you need more space, you can choose the Advanced package, for $13.30 a month or the Pro.
All hosting packages come with a $50 Yahoo credit and a $25 Google AdWords, they have solutions for blogs, and in their website you can find a new feature that allows you to start a WHOIS query directly in your browser.

Hosting Solutions: Questions and Answers

Do you remember my recent post "Looking for Domain and Hosting Info"?
Well, Mar Matthias Darin, the webmaster of Mathias Chronicles found my blog trough Entrecard (I guess it was this way), read my post, commented and wrote an article with a list of questions to consider when choosing hosting. His post is very informative, and to be honest, it mentions details that I have never thought about because...you know, I´m a non-tech blogger. The truth is that his post enlightened me. Thanks so much!
If you´re looking for info about this topic, please check out his blog and read the post in: http://matthiaschronicles.tanaya.net/Archives/2008/07/14/1216097021.shtml, called "Choosing the Right Hosting Company", I found it very useful.

Looking for Domain and Hosting Info


I´ve been looking for information about domains and web hosting, because I´d like to have my own. There are so many options available, so many hosting companies and reseller that I need all the info I can get before I can make up my mind. I came across a few websites that have articles and hosting reviews. By visiting this websites I think I learned a few things:

First: It´s not possible to have unlimited disk space and bandwidth for a low price. Shared hosting is a common practise that makes possible prices like $6.00 to $10.00 dollars a month. Any company that promotes the unlimited idea has hidden fees and restrictions. We have to read small letters in contracts, TOS and agreements carefully. Companies sometimes oversell.

Second: Buy the domain name from a trusted company and be sure it´s registered in your name. This way you don´t get "stuck" if you want to change, and it´s supposed to be safer. There are scams in this industry too.
Cheap domains aren´t worthy.

Third: You get what you pay for. If you want top noch service and first class support, you´ll have to pay more for it.

I´d like to share the list of sites I visited that have info and reviews. I think it´s a good idea to look around because not all have the same opinions, and I´m not sure who´s right. Anyway, here it goes:
