Introduction: Why are we posting MySticky here?
We are happy to the announce the service of which MySticky.net provide! Is this my idea? No, it’s a brilliant scheme in which a man from the United Kingdom has made up for everyone to use; for free. Even though there are people out there who like to copy or steal idea’s, unethically, MySticky is signified as the originals in providing such service. Echo-Unlimited.com is here to provide MySticky.net, funds to improve what is MySticky; to include more features. We are also here to ensure that Mysticky is around for longer than expected; to fund it with the right amounts and to market and monetize it.
–
We understand that there can be competitors out there, but we (”We as in, a group”) hope to come past these competitors and provide the MySticky service for all to use. Though we do not own this service, we like to think of MySticky as part of our group/partner. Which is why we supply such service (”A service of funds”) to those websites who particularly need the help!
If Vlexo.com no longer supported free web hosting
Posted by Jonathan in : Uncategorized , add a commentSo what would happen if I totally cancelled the idea of free web hosting?
There are many factors in which I can honestly say that I would close the free hosting side of things down. For one, there is the paying factor, if did not have to pay for the ‘free server’ (known as challenger) then I could and would get a Dual Xeon or higher for our paid server. If not that I would get a whole rack of support teams which could handle support without the supplement of me even interfering… Which would be excellent, seeing as I’m always busy; you can ask my staff! So the reasons for stopping my free web hosting services; in a pocket-sized list:
1. Instead of paying $130 (Was $160) per month, I could add that money towards buying a new and more powerful server. - Which of course would be an upgraded paid server, which is currently known as Gravity.
2. With that type of money $130 + $30 = $160, I could hire a whole support team, which would include level 1-3 support techs; which at anytime could handle all support inquiries. - While I could simply handle advertising.
3. I could buy a lot of things with $130 per month. I could eventually save up and build my own swimming pool outside in my garden.
4. $130 x $12 = $1560, with that kind of money I could support my own life even more; for example going on holiday every year, with that kind of money would be simply relaxing.
I do have my reasons in doing free hosting, however sometimes I think to myself, is this a very productive and beneficial way of trying to do things online; business term. Sometimes, I wish my hosted users would be a little gentler and would at least reciprocate in terms of what we give them; to show some respect and appreciation for a service that is provided free-of-charge. Sometimes, I think to myself, ‘is this all worth it’, can’t I do something better?
So you must be asking yourself, why is this madman even doing free hosting?
Several months back, or on the creation of Vlexo.com (Around 10 Months ago) I made a pledge, that we would keep our free hosting services up and running; that pledge is still in-action and that just will not change. The only reason I would shut the free hosted division down, would be if a situation brought me to that stage; where I was of course forced to do so.
Name.com October 7, 2007

My review of name.com is not merited for the time I’ve been with them, however my experience with them is amazing. I haven’t had to contact them for support, nor is anything wrong with the control panel or service they supply. They have been around since 1995, so they’re pretty reliable in terms of them not just closing down; like the late Registerfly. They provide a service which is purely unbeatable, they sell their domains for $5.95 (Their TLD domains that is), which I haven’t seen with any other domain registrar that accepts PayPal.
For $5.95 you get the whole lot:
However after 1 year, you have to pay the standard $7.99 per year. But for the first year it’s a pretty cheap offer and it’s fully recommended by me as they provide a above-average service, in terms of their servers, however as said I cannot comment on their support. Though seeing domainsite.com is a division of them, I have experienced pretty good support replies (in perhaps under 4 hours) from domainsite; whether this is the same with name.com… I don’t know.
What I like about their services is their control panel, it’s easy, quick and it doesn’t take the brain of Einstein to work out how to properly utilize it. Currently I have 2 domains with them, however I will be buying more domains from them in future, as they are the cheapest most reliable domain registrar I’ve seen. So if you need a domain registrar worth taking a look at, then I suggest name.com!
The clogged up domain world! October 2, 2007
Posted by Jonathan in : Uncategorized , add a comment(Synopsis: a short article on the domain world, and the use of domains; or the non-use of domains)
The domain world today and previous remains very open. However one main factor contends to people buying domain names and not using them, hoping to use them as an investment. Today I was looking for a domain so I could review various and different web hosts. I was looking, looking and looking and all I could find was domains that had been registered but had not been used in like a year or so, yet they had been renewed. This is not new, news however I thought I’d bring the subject out, seeing as I find it very annoying.
I mean you find a perfect domain name, to create your website, yet when it comes to purchasing it, it’s ‘frigging’ taken! And why is it taken? Because people invest in literally billions of domains. In every domain I purchase, I try and make a website off of it. However sometimes you want a good domain which will pick up good traffic. But don’t you just hate with all your guts when you find a good domain and you find it’s taken. - This is the issue with most of the domains I purchase.
I managed to actually find a domain worth purchasing, however it wasn’t the domain I originally wanted. I wish that people who bought domains would use it, instead of parking them on stupid pages, which have no purpose.
/rant over!
