    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...

    Wordpress DB making overload on VPS

    It sounds very strange, especially when you're using W3 Cache. I tend to get a load of around 2.00 on my database server, but this is mostly caused by the volume of search queries. I would test whether the cache is actually working. The easiest way is to stop mysql for a minute and reload the...

    XML Sitemap Generator has notified errors

    BWP works by pinging search engines when you post something new. When a spider crawls your site, the sitemap it is rebuilt, hence why I think it is much better than the standard google sitemaps plugin (less load). It sounds like you are having dns and/or routing issues and the name lookup...

    XML Sitemap Generator has notified errors

    Mine started doing this a while ago and I assumed it was some kind of routing error, although I could successful connect to google and bing at the time. In the end I just switched to BWP Google XML Sitemaps and it works much better.

    Backup Files of Website Incremental

    No need for a script, just combine rsync, a set of ssh keys and a cron job. Sorted.

    2leep and other traffic exchange widgets

    We have used them in the past, although not on a CPM type basis like you seem to be doing. We just had a simple agreement with them whereby they would take up some real estate and pay us a fixed fee. It worked out rather well.
