That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Top tips for picking a website name for your business.

While Shakespeare felt Romeo’s surname was unimportant, having the right website name IS. The prevalence of Facebook and other platforms for marketing a business have lulled many into a false sense of security. Stick a few bits of news up and “they will come”. But as we’ve seen in recent times, you have no control

Cloufest 2018 – Talking Domains and Hosting in Germany

After 1.5 years away from the industry and roughly 7hr travel, I'm back in Rust. Its situated near the German / French border, 230km South for Frankfurt. Pretty much nothing near it. Rural, you would say. Why would the world's largest cloud event, Cloudfest (ex-WHD), choose Rust as a venue ? You see, Rust is

It will, you know. At some stage, whether in life or work, the sh*** WILL hit the fan. When something affects your clients, you can either panic and run away (aka ignore it), or take a deep breath and take control. By take control, I don’t mean try and brush  the dirt under the carpet.

“And how long have you been working here?” was the comment from smart alec Tony in work :-D Touché   Yes, that IS my day job but this domain was one from my personal inventory. I’ve always liked domains. I’ve regularly bought them but rarely sold any of my own. Actually, I’ve NEVER sold one of my

Is short still sweet when it come to new gTLDS?

Can Twitter really help my business (community / hobby / campaign) ?

This morning I posted a photo on Twitter of a lego minifig, attached to my desk’s sideboard using Sugru. It’s something that I saw recently, and  just copied :-D The reason for this post isn’t so much to rave about the 2 products, which i really like, but more to do with the ripple effect that one tweet can have.
