Web Hosting
I received an email yesterday afternoon from GoDaddy that reminded me I have two websites that I’ve not transitioned to HTTPS.
In the last few years, there has been an uptick in the number of websites that have transitioned from HTTP to strictly HTTPS.
Of course, many website owners transitioned their websites to HTTPS from HTTP upon hearing Google would consider and likely bump website search rankings for those in full HTTPS compliance.
Nevertheless, the interesting thing about the GoDaddy email is that it is stoked with a bit of subliminal fear using a number of terms throughout the email multiple times. Continue reading
I can’t tell you how many emails, phone calls and in-person conversations I’ve had in regards to people losing their content and access to their audience.
Then I encounter the following article and it all the emotions come back fresh to mind, heart and soul: Google Wiping Out 14 year old blog…
All the blood, sweat, and tears of writing content day in and day out now gone, and not one soul came looking for you and long lost content.
And this is not just content, but world-changing content as most categorize their prized possession of thoughts.
And this starts my questioning to no end in attempting to figure out what happened to their long lost content. Continue reading

For me when it comes to web hosting, HostGator tends to always be lurking somewhere in the top 5 or top 10 web hosting providers that are recommended because of performance.
And when I’m in need of a secondary web host to GoDaddy, my primary web hosting, HostGator’s flexibility, ease of use, and reliable performance meets my need for hosting geo domaining websites.
Again, I’m not transacting to the volume of an Amazon or Facebook, so I don’t need the complex technologies or service level agreements they use for simply flipping and developing geo service domain websites.
In fact, most of my geo domaining websites tend to very simple and nominal in terms of their content, functionality, and dependence upon reliable performance and uptime. Continue reading
When it comes to managing my growing portfolio of domain names, I recommend and personally use GoDaddy. They’ve come quite a long way since 1997.
Some will argue that they still have a ways to go in certain UI/UX areas. I’ve been with GoDaddy as long as I can remember.
One reason GoDaddy is my primary choice for web hosting is because of the discounts I receive owning the number of domains I do and being a Discount Domain Club member. Continue reading
