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 <a href="http://www.discountdomainsuk.com">Domain registration</a> but when it comes to UK specific domains we use <a href="http://www.discountdomainsuk.com">DiscountDomainsUK.com</a>.</p>
<p>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. <a href="http://www.discountdomainsuk.com">DiscountDomainsUK.com</a> is an ICANN Accredited Registrar.</p>
<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
<p>We have a number of clients out of Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax. They require Canadian based <a href="http://www.canadianwebhosting.com">web hosting</a> plans or <a href="http://www.canadianwebhosting.com">domain hosting</a>. Our favorite reminder is none other than <a href="http://www.canadianwebhosting.com">CanadianWebHosting.com</a>: <a href="http://www.canadianwebhosting.com">hosting</a>, 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.</p>
<p><span id="more-265"></span>Depending on your plan, you will have access to a variety of tools and programming systems such FTP, dedicated IP, SSL certificates for security purposes, Cpanel, content management systems, Php 5, MySQL, Python, CGI, SSI, Ruby on Rails … basically all the tools any self respecting Webmaster would want and need.</p>
<p>Other services such as Email Hosting, SEO, PCI Compliance, Google Adwords  Campaigns and Website Transfer services are available at competitive rates. Support also offers tutorials, a full fledged forum and an online ticket system for client specific questions.</p>
<p>The scalability provided by <a href="http://www.canadianwebhosting.com/">CanadianWebHosting.com</a> is excellent and there is no project too big or too small you cannot host with this company with over 11 years experience.</p>
<p>With datacenters in Toronto and Vancouver, fast and reliable hosting and serious guarantees, our Canadian choice remains <a href="http://www.canadianwebhosting.com/">CanadianWebHosting.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="blogger" src="http://websiteforensics.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/blogger1.jpg" alt="blogger" width="200" height="141" align="right" />A while back, someone from the team had read this story about a <a href="http://www.financialhack.com/how-i-make-over-500-a-month-from-abandoned-blogs">savvy blogger.com</a> user who had managed to claim a number of abandoned blogs to make a hefty profit. The basic idea being, abandoned blogs can be easily revived and benefit from incoming links and traffic, the two basic ingredients for ad revenue.</p>
<p>Fact is, the jig is up. <a href="http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=41931">Blogger.com</a> 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. <span id="more-251"></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Blogger accounts and Blog*Spot addresses do not expire. Therefore, we can&#8217;t take away somebody&#8217;s blog address to give to you. Occasionally people come back to their blogs after long absences, and we want them to be able to find their blog as they left it. If you find some contact information on the blog, you are welcome to deal with the owner directly, to see if they are willing to transfer ownership so you can use that URL. However, we do not give out contact information for the owner of a blog.&#8221;</p>
<p>A number of problems remain. Given the fact an overwhelming number of bloggers abandon their sites within months, a greater number of domains will be permanently unavailable to amateur bloggers with a genuine interest in developing a new blogger.com account, thus dooming large blogging communities.</p>
