Godaddy hosting problem fixed

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I solved the hosting problem, apparently if you use Godaddy.com you can host an unlimited number of domains. I use the Deluxe Plan has unlimited hosting but can host only three domains, if you want to host more domains you have to buy a Virtual Dedicated Server even if the websites use only html with no databases.

My problem started when I added a new domain to that hosting account, I submitted two tickets and they said that this error occurs if I use more that 50 connections to the server, I didn’t want to argue so I did what any other person does, I deleted one domain and I bough an new hosting plan just for that domain. All the domains work fine now and remember that although the plan is unlimited you can use only three.

Don’t be fooled by this they aren’t real

The Recession Hits Me

Monday, April 14th, 2008

The Recession Hit MeI didn’t write anything in the last few days because the recession has affected me. More exactly in March I manage to earn more that $500 and this month I will only get half of that amount since most of the advertising companies have started to give less money to publishers.

When you have a blog that has thousands of viewers every day that made $16 a day in March and $8 a day in April you aren’t very happy, so I had to develop a strategy for the next three months involving all my blogs.

Because of the recession many bloggers will suffer, and this year we could see another dotcom crash, Google, Yahoo and many others big companies will soon report some big loses and I am waiting for that moment to buy some of their stocks.

This isn’t a good year for business, in fact this “recession” is a world depression. But don’t worry until a couple of weeks ago we weren’t in a recession, so the depression will not come very soon.

Read the Wall Street Journal for Free

Friday, March 21st, 2008

 

You can read The Wall Street Journal without paying the $79 annual fee for free. Wall Street Journal allows Google and other search engines to index its articles, and it also allows Digg and other news aggregators to link to their articles.

So if you search for a title on Digg or Google and click that link you will see the full article, the problem is that you will not be able to read the all the articles but you can read them if you use one Firefox add-on.

You can read Wall Street Journal articles using a couple of methods:

1. Search an article on Google or on other search engines and if the article is indexed you have access to the full article.

2. Search an article on Digg and if some one submitted the article you can see the full version of the article.

3. Install Firefox and the spoof add-on.

The last method allows access to all the Wall Street Journal articles, and it requires lees work that the first two methods.

To use the third method you need Firefox and an add-on, the add-on can be found here.

After you have installed the Firefox browser and the add-on, go to the Wall Street Journal website, and in the refspoof toolbar you will find “spoof:” and a field, write in the field digg.com, click the R icon and select “static referrer”.

Read the Wall Street Journal for Free

Now you can read any article for free and the Wall Street Journal thinks that you are visiting the articles from Digg.

RIAA encourages Piracy

Friday, March 14th, 2008

 

RIAA encourages PiracyRIAA has accepted that it can’t stop piracy and tries to makes money by introducing a new tax. RIAA wants to collect a $5 fee per user per month from the internet service providers (ISP).

The money will be used to compensate the performers, music labels and songwriters, the collected money will be divided according with the artist popularity on P2P networks.

If they manage to surcharge the ISP, this would mean that downloading music from P2P is legal, and if all internet users will be charged it will be mandatory to download music. This tax will make music cheaper, who will buy an iTune for 99¢ when they already pay $5 and can download millions of song.

There are many unknowns about this tax, will all the internet user have to pay or only those that download illegal content, how will they verify if a user is downloading a game or an album. Because of this question I doubt that the tax will be applied.
