A few weeks ago I installed what I deemed a safe plugin from the WordPress directory called Google Analytics v6.5.3. I didn't pay much attention to it considering the plugin was vetted by the WordPress plugin directory. The plugin's author info said it was authored by Google (should have rang alarm bells, I know, but it didn't at the time). Had I l...
Last month, when Moniker announced it had partnered with web design firm Slamdot.com to offer it's clients "personalized web design and hosting services", I promised I'd reach out to the folks behind Slamdot and try and learn more about what it is they do.

In the lifetime of a website that uses a MySQL database, you will most likely face a situation where you have to restore a backup of your MySQL database – for example, when moving hosts or after an unrecoverable error. With large backup files, you cannot use phpmyadmin because of phpmyadmin's implicit configuration limits. Instead, you have t...

In an experiment straight out of a science fiction movie, scientists have demonstrated brain-to-brain communication between two rats thousands of miles apart – a feat achieved with the aid of the internet.

Did you know that the web is made up of over 30 trillion pages? Or that Google's index is 100 million gigabytes in size? Or that Google supports over 100 billion searches every month?

Back in 2004 when I was fresh out of university and "enjoying" my first and only stint as a corporate lackey, I used to kill time in the office surfing the web looking for fun stuff to read – better than doing actual work I say! This is probably why I didn't last long in the job – I wasn't made out for the whole 9 to 5 thing. Anyways, I...

It has come to my attention that the domain name Registrar.com is for sale on Flippa. The domain name is under Moniker privacy protection and has been owned by the same people since it was registered in 1995.

If you did anything online in 2005, you more than likely know about the milliondollarhomepage.com and its founder Alex Tew.

The site went viral, he made his million, there were a thousand annoying copycat pixel-se...

Registry and registrar are both domain name terms, but I find a lot of people do not understand the difference between the two and often misuse the terms in conversations. What is a registry?

Most if not all successful domainers are self-employed. We answer to noone but ourselves. We don't work in a cubicle and we set our own schedules.
