What a thoroughly good man and an outstanding Actor.
What with the current crisis's in Israel, Ukraine, Syria, Iraq etc this one man has stood up and shown that he is a great credit to mankind.
Shake that man by the hand.[^]

For which side did you fight? Greeks or Trojans?

Given the nature of the CP, shouldn't that be Geeks or Trojans?

saw that pop up as an ad in the top of the Lounge just now.
so clicked on it
To be met with a big "starting at $3.99 a month" banner ad.
I was about to go off, like one does, then I noticed a small orange banner right at the top of the screen. And it looks like they arem indeed, offering 12 months hosting at $1 mer month!

I don't suppose they've got a DNS renewal sale going on? I got a your domain expires in a few more months reminder yesterday.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I didn't notice one, but then I wasn't looking.
I just spent $12.20 on 12 months hosting plus a domain name.
 I like a bargain!

I need IRC service to go with my IP and due to IRC exposing your IP to general elephantary (why I don't want to connect directly) most normal hosting companies don't want anything to do with it. An extra few $$'s to keep my IRC and web hosting a single bill is worth the simplified logisitics; and from a risk prevention standpoint I want to keep my dns and other hosting separate anyway.

I was looking at registering a .london domain this week. £485!
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

.london domains should be boycotted until London declares its independence from the UK, non-national geographic TLDs are a really stupid idea. (And where's my .yk TLD?)
|
|
|
|

I think its a good idea. London is its own living breathing entity so .uk is too broad. Plus all those who pour scorn on this great town don't have to visit such URLs.
what's .yk?
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

If only, then the rest of us could get on with running a country for our own good, not that of the London bubble.

The only problem with that is that it's GoDaddy. I'll use them for domains, but never in my life would I touch them for a host.

For $12 I susepct you can't complain, but for me I gave it a go once. Their admin is clunky and the servers were slow. YMMV
Also, whatever you choose it's important to always keep your domain registrar and host different. If you host ever locks your account for whatever reason they'll lock your domain as well. That's no good. Worst case with keeping them separate is you use your back ups to throw your site onto a different host.

Bugger! I really should have thought about that - but GoDaddy gave me a free domain registration so too good an opportunity to pass up - but thanks for the advice - come renewal time I will look at moving the registration elsewhere (and the hosting, if GD doesn't cut it)

How do you like to contact the companies you buy services from (utilities, TV, phone, ISP), and how do you like to contact them, and what annoys you about such things.
Lots of companies seem to invest a lot of time and money into innovations that I don't think customers want, and indeed annoy them more than helping them.
If I want to take a service I want to find out what I need to know online, place an order online, when a customer I want to be able to view my account, and make changes to it or payments online.
And if I am on their website I do not want it constantly trying to badger me into a webchat. If I do get to the stage of needing an immediate two way conversation I want to at least be able to listen to them lying to me.
If something goes wrong I want to phone up and speak to someone. I do not want to speak to a computer, nor do I want to spend ages listening to options and making selections from menu after menu after menu.
I cannot imagine that an App from a service provider is one that I would use.
I want email updates of ongoing issues, I do not mind SMS updates now and then, if someone is on their way to my house for example.
I am not going to text a company, ever.
I do not want a computer phoning me up and asking me questions.
I will use social media to bitch about a company, not to contact them and I do not want them contacting me through it.
And if they do send me something through the post, I'm probably not going to read it properly, might not even open it before it goes through the shredder.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

The amount of technical support and customer service I get directly from companies over Twitter is positively alarming.
It's changed the customer service game for those that participate. Otherwise I'll call them...possibly email if it's a complex issue.
