Working on a new project currently that is bound to be another great success. I’m really excited about its development thus far but will not be sharing anything about it just yet! Stay tuned.

Well if you ask me, this is a bit ridiculous. I just noticed it earlier today when I was sending some money to a few members of one of my sites. There are a few options now when you go to send money.

The first option is the normal screen, but now shows a “Purchase” tab on it:

The next option shows a “Personal” tab:

According to PayPal, if you choose the Personal option and send money from your balance, the receiver will not be charged any fee and you will not be charged any fee either to send it. However, if you send it from a credit card balance, you will be charged fees:

I just wonder how this will affect PayPal whether it will be good or bad.

The following domains are expiring soon and I’m giving them away since I won’t be renewing them. All are registered at GoDaddy. One domain per person per week. If you want one, just post the one you want and either post or PM me your GoDaddy username and email address so I can transfer the domain name to you. For security, I recommend sending me a PM with this information, but the choice is yours. First come, first serve.

Here are the domains, sorted by expiration date:

If you would like one for free, you will need to leave a reply on the Digital Point forums here.

Domains will be removed from the list as they are given away and as more are added, so check back frequently! At least 1-2 new domains will be added to the image above per week!

I’m selling the following $1 domains, all registered at GoDaddy.

The image below will update as they are sold / added.

If you would like to place a bid on any, either leave a comment to this post or leave a reply on the Digital Point forums here.

This is our fourth free domain giveaway. Feel free to subscribe on the right to receive new updates made to our blog to ensure you get an email when a new giveaway is posted.

Now to enter…

All you have to do is reply to this post with a comment of at least 6 words. Make sure your email address is valid in case you win!

Once a week has passed, so next Friday (May 1st), I will randomly select one of the comments and the person who made the comment will get to choose a domain of their choice from a list of 5 that I will provide to them. In this list, there will be at least 1 .com domain name while the others will be .net, .org, .info, etc. Good luck!

I have finally updated page rank for all domains and sites. For the majority, it wasn’t a big increase or decrease, but evenly spread out amongst them all. I’ll continually be working on each site to improve it better and converting the domains into future sites.

It’s been quite a while since my last post. I’ve been busy with a server migration, new sites I bought and developed more, and with making updates to one of my sites, PrizeLive.com. I have also recently discovered making my own videos and uploading them to YouTube. I’m using free software from CamStudio.org and I have only made 3 videos so far, so I’m still learning the ropes. Anyway, check out the video below of a game called Match Up on PrizeLive.com. I’ll be posting other videos later in the week.

I’m giving away a free domain, 2urs.com, that is registered until January 30, 2009 at GoDaddy. Once at least 10 people have commented in this thread, I will choose someone randomly and contact them to get their GoDaddy details. So to enter, just leave a “non-spam” comment to this post and that’s it!

I just picked up my second oldest domain I have in my portfolio. The domain is PlayCouples-Online.com and is currently 13 years, 1 month, and 11 days old. It was first registered on August 12, 1995. The oldest domain I have, nsctoronto.com, is almost 14 years old.

Having old domains has been said to be helpful in SEO purposes, but I am not certain if thats the case or not. The main reason I get them is to resell to the right person, and plus its hard to find a lot of domains that are over 13-14 years old that are for sale.

If you are having thoughts, doubts, concerns, etc. about backing up your website files, database (all data), there is really nothing to think about. The answer is a hell yes. On this past Wednesday morning, approximately at 1:00am EST, my server crashed. Luckily the data was still on the server. The issue was that the operating system wouldn’t start. After two days of work.. the data was migrated to a new server. Luckily, all of it was saved because I did not have any sort of backup what-so-ever.. for any of my 75+ sites!! Now I have learned my lesson and am going to backup the database at least 2-3 times per week and will backup my website files whenever any sort of change is made to them. This will make the restore process quicker and not having to rely on your web host to save everything in case of a server issue like I had.

I’m still going through sites and finding bugs and issues and having to fix them. Not everything is the same on this server from my last so its taking a little time to make sure everything is correct.

Just please take my advice and backup your sites at least on a weekly basis. Having something a week old is better than not having anything at all! If you can back it up daily, that’s even better. Who knows what will happen to your server / webhost.
