We run websites for many clients and some are county specific. We’ve built sites for clients in France, Spain and the UK and often times a generic TLD is not sufficient (.com .net .org) and a national domain is preferred. We use various providers for Domain registration but when it comes to UK specific domains we use DiscountDomainsUK.com.

But not only do this provider offer .uk domains, you can also register co.uk, me.uk, org.uk as well as .eu, eu.com, gb.com and gb.net. DiscountDomainsUK.com is an ICANN Accredited Registrar.

Located in Telford, a few miles from Birmingham, this company offers very competitive pricing for these domains as well as generic TLDs. Pricing is available in GBP, USD and Euro which is great for companies likes ours that work in multiple currencies.

We use hosting and domains in multiple countries. Some of our clients have very strict requirements for country-specific hosting and some domain names cannot always be hosted anywhere. Requirements for country-specific hosting can be anything from a legal issue to a simple preference. This means that sooner or later, you’ll need a Web Host located in Canada, the Great White North.

We have a number of clients out of Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax. They require Canadian based web hosting plans or domain hosting. Our favorite reminder is none other than CanadianWebHosting.com: hosting, dedicated, VPS and of course reseller accounts. Some plans offer full root access, choice of operating system, configuration files such as the crucial httpd.conf or php.ini, remote rebooting, unlimited domain hosting.

The basic idea being, abandoned blogs can be easily revived and benefit from incoming links and traffic, the two basic ingredients for ad revenue.

Fact is, the jig is up. Blogger.com soon learned of the spamming technique developed by some and has now enforces a new policy whence domains are never abandoned permanently and always available to their original users. Read the rest of this entry »
