Having developed hundreds of websites for others as well as my own, I have had my fair share of experiences with a wide range of web hosting providers.

I’ve hosted sites with Bluehost, HostGator, InMotion, Hostway, DreamHost, HostMonster, and GoDaddy. All have their pros and cons, and hacked experiences.

GoDaddy and Bluehost were once my go-to web hosting providers. I still have a few personal-developed websites and projects that use GoDaddy shared hosting, but my go-to web hosting providers this season are A2Hosting and RoseHosting.

For one, they offer way more affordable manage hosting virtual private server plans with greater scalability and performance than all previously used web hosting providers. I love the increased performance my websites have realized with SSD (A2Hosting) and NVMe (RoseHosting) storage. And don’t get me started about their quicker-than-lightning customer support experience — the team is so personable and knowledgeable.

Quite honestly, I’m willing to pay more for customer support, and managed services, and simply not to be ‘nickeled and dimed’ for every little thing and service offering.

While I love both A2Hosting and RoseHosting, I was reminded the other day about my experience of attempting to SSH into my RoseHosting environment.

What do you get when you combine backgrounds in linguistics, systems engineering, and a serial entrepreneurial spirit? 🤔

It’s often said that if you want to identify a person’s gifting, then look no further than their childhood experiences and early years of development.

Of course, there are always anomalies, here and there, over the course of time that greatly defy this statement or way of thought.

Over the last four to five years, India has not only become the fastest-growing country in the world, with an expected growth to reach an estimated population of 1.68 billion by 2050, but it’s an amazing land of opportunity and growth for domain investing.

The more and more I search the globe for interesting stories to share about the buying, selling, developing, and investing of domain names, the more I discover the flourishing success of India-based domain investors.

The domain industry chartered into the new and virtual territory by debuting the first-ever digital investors’ online conference sponsored by Dan.com: TheDomainShow.com.

Its Founder and Executive Producer, Page Howe, is no stranger to the industry, investing in domains for 20+ years, having sold 5,000+ domains (most notably sold Seniors.com for $1.8M), and once known for his domain tip sheets, emoji domain investing, and occasional DomainSherpa appearances through the years.

As all eyes were on Page and the team, industry professionals eagerly awaited and anticipated the shift from a paid in-person to a free virtual conference experience spanning three days, July 23-25.

There were many questions to be answered from the time it was announced in early April:

• What would be the format of the show?
• Who and want would be presented?
• Would sessions be live, pre-recorded, or both?
• How would the show address time zone challenges?
• and many more…

It’s not every day that we stumble upon a domain investor that’s kicking butt and taking names with undeniable daily domain sales.

And if the domain investor is achieving such daily sales, then they have likely been at for years, if not decades.

Now what if I told you it was possible to not only achieve daily domain sales 3-4 times your investment cost, and you could do so having only been introduced to domain investing 60 days ago? What would you think, say and do?

Yesterday, I researched and searched for a few keywords for geo-service domains to flip and develop quickly.

With most of my portfolio registered and managed at GoDaddy, I often use their Bulk Search to quickly determine how popular geo service domains are for a given keyword or service area based on available and registered domains.

On this given day, I performed a search using GoDaddy’s Bulk Search and discovered search was not working. Uh oh…
