    How can I keep my domain name safe?

    FYI, Namecheap are a glorified eNom reseller, perhaps one of the largest I know of. I've used them for over 5 years and haven't had a problem yet.

    General Hosting Tips

    Nice post JmZ. I can vouch for PRQ but I would say their service is excellent, rather than just reasonably good.

    Warez Download Site OneDDL Calls It Quits Citing Legal Concerns

    I believe it is actually being run by ex-OneDDL editors. The slip-up was probably DNS propagation.

    PirateBay For UK People

    They recently started pushing all pirate bay requests through a proxy, so if you use BlockAid, you won't have any issues accessing TPB in the UK. Furthermore, you should really read their Configuration page properly. It is very easy to configure a linux machine to use their DNS. In fact, it is...

    Hiring Need redirecting old site to new site

    Loading time, are you having a laugh? This method will automatically redirect users to the same page on the new domain and much quicker than your method. A 301 redirect is the method the OP asked for and its the one I've given. It also happens to be the one Google and other search engines...

    Hiring Need redirecting old site to new site

    You do it at the webserver level, not file level. Point dns for the old domain to your old server. Then setup a vhost in apache (or whatever web daemon you use) for your old domain and add a 301 permanent redirect. Just google apache 301 redirect for information. Its really easy and can be...

    I am not completely sure, but it is possible that they could get queried for your sites nameservers.

    WordPress Speed Optimization

    What did you use to test the page speed? The problem with alot of testers is they don't exclude advert loading time, and that is usually the killer.

    Galaxy note N7000 with android 2.3 to android 4 (ICS)?

    You either have to wait for Samsung to release an OTA update or root your phone and manually install it. I don't think Cyanogenmod have ICS ready yet, but I am sure someone on the XDA forums has probably got it going on the Note. That would be my first port of call.

    Better WordPress Google XML Sitemaps - ANyone Tried It ?

    That's not exactly correct. The problem with the traditional Google XML Sitemaps plugin is that by default it rebuilds the sitemap when you create a new post. Even if you only have a few hundred posts, this creates a noticeable slow down. Of course, the way around this requires that you turn...

    Wordpress DB making overload on VPS

    As mentioned in the shoutbox, if you use Google XML Sitemaps, try disabling automatic creation and enable creation via the GET request (you will need to setup a cronjob). Alternatively, use BWP's plugin: http://s.p2.pe/4gq.

    Wordpress DB making overload on VPS

    When you do the database on/off test I mentioned before, make sure you are logged out and using the cache. If you're using the static page cache (Disk Enhanced), you can also check you are using the cache (without having to turn mysql off) by looking at the date stamp in the html source of a...
