m:/ drive

I started a new blog. I named it as M:/ Drive. It come up to my mind that way since the M:/ is the current hard disk that we have at work. The stuff I am posting here are some internet things. In general, it could be about internet and webhosting. I am blogging and sharing some stuffs I learn from work and from personal experiences.I am hoping that you’ll visit it, too.

Anticipating..

domain registration

A domain when registered can be private or public registration. A public registration list your name, e-mail address, phone number and postal mail address in the whois database. And this whois data is available for public viewing. Private domain registration on the other hand can protect your private data. This will protect your self from spammers and scams.

There are registrar that will allow you to change your domain registration from public to private free of charge while others will cost you.
