Woohoo! My virtual private server held up despite huge traffic surge due to election results

OK, we had our Malaysia 12th General election.

We have one of the biggest upset in 50 years.

My little island has a totally new Government.

My site got hit with traffic surge.

But I am glad it hold on strong.

Thanks to my webhost. I will introduce his company when I am less adrenaline charge. Lucky I have a VPS and he rebooted it for me when it went down.

Phew….

A totally new beginning for my country, Malaysia. People’s power!

Is it wise to buy a domain that has pagerank PR ?

Someone emailed me about this because she wants to make money writing paid posts. Her own blog has been Google smacked.

As I was once the paid post queen, she asked me if I will consider doing that. Of course, everyone is aware that I have submitted reconsideration requests to Google and has gained my PR on some of my blogs but I have completely stopped doing any paid posts there. I told her that I will not waste my money on a risk like that.

Here are some of the reasons why I wouldn’t touch a used domain that has PR:

1) Non of the probloggers advise it

2) Almost every SEO forum has threads that said they lost the PR a few days after spending a huge amount of money on buying a domain with PR

3) Google is said to re-set the PR to zero when a domain expired

4) In one of the paid post forum, several members have lamented how they lost their PR within 3 days of doing a paid post

5) Google does their pagerank update almost monthly now

6) Those sites with good PR which they earned through sheer hardwork will not sell their domain

7) Those sites with PR probably gained it through blackhat methods which means an impending death to the PR is almost immediate.

8) It is not that freaking hard to gain PR if we know how to fill our domain with quality posts

9) I hate buying second hand goods.

10) I am tired of writing paid posts now and I am confident no-follow rules will come in the horizon if Google squeezes advertisers. *cackles*

So, my advice, dear…..it is entirely up to you if you want to spend a sum of money to gamble. Good luck! I am so not playing. Sorry! I would rather be planting in my ‘gardens’ and harvest them when the juice is green.

But ahah! If it is a site with a reputation, i.e. the blogger is known, then people will buy them for a huge sum of money. Until today, I still get mails through Sitepoint asking if this blog is still for sale. Nah ah…. :P

Al Rajhi bank confusing URL made me think their site is gone

 Amendment :

Sorry!  I got the wrong URL.  The REAL  Al Rajih bank URL is http://alrajhibank.com.my

 

Original post  you can ignore 

First, I had gone to the Al Rajhi bank last week to put some Fixed Investment ( aka FD) and while I was there, the officer phoned her KL office to enquire about my PayPal. They asked me to submit a complain form and I am waiting for the money to clear from PayPal to Al Rajhi. The officer told me she had done a lot of such transaction so Al Rajhi Visa Debit Card can be used to cash your PayPal. Just that there are some technical glitches right now.

But heh, they certainly needs to take care of their websites. Last night, I notice that both their Al Rajhi dot com and dot com dot my have some problems :

See? Domain expired and they forget to renew, I guess. It has been pwnd!

Therefore, if you own your domains, remember to pay in advance and keep track of it always. I normally pay 3 years in advance. And renew 3-5 months in advance.

Are you renewing your domains before the price increase?


Reminder : The closing date for the Go Dot Com contest is on the 10th. You have two more days to send your ping over to the post. I have paid for the domains and hostings so better hurry up, ok?

My webmaster, Bryan pointed out to me that domain fees will be increased soon.

Starting October 15, VeriSign will charge $6.42 for .com domains and $3.85 for .net domains, it said in a statement. The fees are charged to domain registrars such as GoDaddy and Tucows, which typically handle domain registration for customers. The new prices represent a 7 percent price increase for .com domains, for which VeriSign currently charges $6, and a 10 percent rise for .net domains, which cost $3.50.

He told me if one has one or two domains, then it is alright not to be bothered with the increase because it is not much. But I have 16 domains hosted on my VPS (virtual private server) managed by Bryan and another 8 I have in Bluehost. That makes 24 domains! OMG, since when did I buy so many domains? I think I am addicted to this dot com ego and need some rehab program.

So, I decided to renew all my domains till 2010.

Do the maths?

I need to work real hard to pay for those domain fees. LOL, never mind, it is Monday in the States and all the money is coming in now. Phew…

Roughly, the increase is just USD1 but 24 x USD1 x 3 is a lot of money I saved. (RM250)

Should I sell my PR5/10 domain?

I had been waiting and waiting for Grandma Google to make up her mind and give us all new pageranks.  It doesn’t seem to come.   And I am getting impatient.

You see, I have a PR5/10 domain which no one gives a shit.  I am not going to start another blog and make use of the PR5/10 to write paid posts.  I have enough of paid posts.  I am sick of maintaining more blogs.

So, who wants a PR 5/10 domain?  There is nothing in the blog because it is a RSS blog feeds.  I could advertise the sale on forums but I am damn lazy to haggle for the price.  I signed up with SEDO but I am too lazy to bother.

PR 5/10 domain for sale.  Genuine PR, I never bruff wan only tell the truth.   I change my mind all the time so give me a good price and I may just throw it away.  My email is the5xmom(@)gmail.com.

PuTTY lesson in an sms

I woke up this morning and found that my sites are all down. I panicked because my webhost has gone for a holiday. I checked my email and found nothing from him because he mentioned about emailing me the tutorial. Then, I check my handphone and found the instructions there in the short text message. Lucky, I can still manage to reach him and told him to reboot my server before he flies as I need time to absorb the instructions.

OK, having done that, I then go through the steps he put in the sms. Remember, I was just out of bed, haven’t brush my teeth and without the contact lenses.

So, I download puTTY and am suddenly expose to unfamiliar names like SSH etc etc. Though I had read and heard of them, I never thought I will be dealing with it so soon.

Well, I am glad everything went fine and now I have control of my VPS. Even know how to reboot system. Woohoo…pahwer in my hands. I no longer worry about CPU overload problems. Simple command of restart service instructions.

LiewCF.com is worth USD1.2 million!

Blogsreview Pablo alerted me to this funny discovery. I did a sponsored post for Leapfish where we can check the worth of a domain. I found that my personal site domain is only worth USD21 but this Make Money is worth USD80.

But I didn’t play around too much. So, Pablo told me to guess how much LiewCF.com is worth. And I had a good laugh. LiewCF.com is worth USD1.2 million. Now, these hackers should see how to hijack the domain. Fuyoh….can take as hostage and ask LiewCF to pay USD1.2 million as ransom.

BTW, if you wish to get your blogs reviewed, go find Blogsreview for a fair review. No charge, absolutely free.

I have many domains for sale, actually. How do I put a domain up for sale?
