And you are a jerk.

Where is your proof? You can transfer a domain name to another company in such a situation. In fact, they would love to do it. In most cases, you buy it from your host, but they do it through another party. For example, Powwebs uses tucows.

Exactly, but in most cases the company would be in control of the domain. They would still have to transfer the domain. If you own the domain, you simply change the nameservers. If for instance Powweb were to go under, how would you transfer the domain? What is your Tucows login/password (I am assuming that Tucows follows the norm and has control of the domain). What would you do if your host disappeared? How long would you have to wait for them to transfer it?

Oh, and proof?

So once again, I say that you are a moron.

Then what you really are saying is not to use an email hosted at the site address for the contact (which is the trap the one fell into in the link). With tucows, you need to know about this site Admin Change

And you are still a jerk.
Click to expand...

Um, no. You are still missing the point. It is clear that you know nothing about hosting other than what your extremely limited experience has shown you. Tucows *might* have the ability to change the owner, but I am betting that there is still a requirement that the person that actually owns the domain (the host) still has to authorize it (which again, you would not be able to do in the above scenerios).

i even have a name brand host/nic, and they registered the name for a year longer than i paid for it. so even though it expired, it's still leased for another year.

/me gets the lawn chair out of storage and whips ups some cocoa.

So.. will it be protractors at twenty paces?

Steps
1: Register domain name

2: Find hosting solution that suits your needs - will a zillion come to watch movies? Find one that allows greater bandwidth for the buck. If not, go with what looks to be a comfortable and well established host. Resellers are a zillion out there and you don't want to lose a site because they didn't pay their bills. I think the Hot Deals section may have a few good ones listed with specials.

3: Create content! Just having a URL doesn't cut it any more. No one will visit your site more than once if you do not have concise and clear content. If it is to be an archive then do it once and fuhgeddaboutit.

If it is something of a journal or periodic refresh of content then try to prepare content or templates ahead of time. If you can write several articles ahead of time, please do so. That way, if real life catches up with you then you can use these already written pieces as filler or as you need it.

4. Design. Do you need navigation? Left nav or a hybrid of left and horizontal has been shown to be most effective for users to crawl through a site. Also, more pics than text? Then try something different - envision a musuem on the web sort of website.

5. Write more content. Cannot stress this enough.

Send a message if you need more help.

It would not have been if someone would learn to say that "this is the problem with that" instead of just calling everyone a moron. He is mostly right, but Tucows has a procedure for it just in case (covered in their FAQs). But that may not be true with others. Networksolutions was notorious for poor service and Godaddy/Tucows built a market on it.

I will agree registering with Tucows or Godaddy is the safest solution. I don't mind being incorrect or even wrong, but starting calling me names and it is throwdown time.


Hey Fausto, do you MTB too?

I raced in the Expert class years ago, but I'm pretty much 100% road at this point. I just don't have time for both beyond goofing around at the local trails a couple times a year. :eek:

If you knew it was a problem, why would you suggest it? Anyone who suggests it either a) Doesn't know the problems associated with it (in which case they are giving advice on a subject they know nothing about) or b) is aware of the problem but ignoring it. Either way, they are a moron in my book.
