It’s only fair to share… I’ve always felt that being as honest and transparent as possible with our clients was the best way to deal with things. If we have issues, which like every company we do, then we need to “own” them and address them. Hosting isn’t a terribly “sexy” business, but for a […]
It’s only fair to share… My first “real” job was in food and beverage. I worked in fairly expensive restaurants at a major European tourism destination for a number of years. One of the things that I learnt while there was that if you wanted to effectively sell food or wine you had to actually […]
It’s only fair to share… While I’m sure a more traditional way to celebrate the New Year would be by committing to doing more exercise or similar, in my case it’s a time for a small announcement. As of January 1st 2017 I am “Chair Elect” of the Internet Infrastructure Coalition. What does that mean? […]
It’s only fair to share…For the last few years I’ve done an online Christmas greeting. This year with help from Stephen we took it to a new level. You can visit my slightly over the top and intentionally tacky Christmas greeting here at Michele.Christmas. Oddly enough one of the domain bloggers picked up on the […]
It’s only fair to share… Tomorrow afternoon at 1500 UTC, which also happens to be 1500 here in Ireland, .blog will finally go into “general availability”. In other words, anyone who wants to register a .blog domain name will be able to do so without any restrictions. Sure, the registry has got a bunch of […]
It’s only fair to share… I’ve been blogging on and off for years. Some of my friends like to wind me up about the volume of blogging that I do, but I won’t apologise for it. I am a blog addict and that is just part of my being! So when I heard about the […]
It’s only fair to share… Earlier this week I was in Portland, Oregon for the cPanel conference. On Wednesday morning I gave the keynote. I’m not sure if cPanel or anyone else recorded it, so in the interim here are my slides: Make Hosting Sexy from Blacknight My talk wasn’t about sex, obviously, but picked […]
It’s only fair to share…The IANA transition. Unless you’re an internet governance nerd you probably haven’t heard about it and to be frank, you probably don’t need to. It’s something that a lot of people have been talking about a lot over the last few months. With some predicting an almost doomsday type scenario if […]
It’s only fair to share… I’ve been invited to speak at the upcoming cPanel conference in Portland, Oregon. The conference, which takes place between October 3rd and October 5th, will cover a range of topics of interest to cPanel users and web hosting providers in general. So what will I be speaking on? My keynote […]
It’s only fair to share…Once upon a time a domain launch was exciting (relatively speaking). One of the downsides to so many new top level domains becoming available is that the sense of excitement is pretty much gone. Sure, you can get excited about one or two domain extensions, but when there’s a new one […]
