jreviews' latest release is now available for wordpress as well.

for the first year, use godaddy with a coupon so you can get the domain for like $2 (without privacy). for renewal, move to internet.bs which is about $9 per .com renewal and includes free privacy. that's what i do :)

As far as I heard, not only it is private, but the domain in fact is registered under the privacy company name. I.e. the domain you bought is in fact listed as owned by WhoIsGuard, or DomainsByProxy, or whatever privacy company, and not by you. The actual link from the privacy company to you is...

do not use godaddy for hosting, period. no their servers did not improve (or if they did then i can't imagine how aweful they were in the past). no hosting at godaddy, this isn't even up for debate. dreamhost's hosting is ok but they have a very non user friendly control panel, it's ridiculous...

"dedicated server" prices can range very very widely depending on configuration and bandwidth allowance. but as was suggested above, you have no way of knowing your forum will be large until it's actually large. start with shared hosting and upgrade when needed. don't be one of the fools that...

internetbs.net are good to me so far. i found them through my time here on bhw. free whois, relatively cheap prices. paypal allowed.

google's tactics are largely psychological. they did penguin/panda, suddenly everyone is shouting 'links don't work' and start building beautiful websites with 'useful content' thinking that they will rank. google's tactic is hit one or two link networks, tweet about it and let the...

They're not likely to use the ID to verify your whois information for a domain. If that was the case they wouldn't even allow to alter whois information in the first place, they would just automatically use your account info and not let you change it. They're probably asking for an ID for...

internetbs.net offers free privacy. their domain prices are normally better than namecheap, and i noticed they're quite popular with bhw members. i don't know why people love namecheap so much. internetbs = cheaper than namecheap. godaddy (with coupons)+privacy = same or cheaper than namecheap...

mattcutts said that once a domain expires, its penalties expire as well, to prevent innocent people buying a domain and carrying someone else's penalty. however in reality, not sure if this holds true.

for a lot of european domains you can use internetbs.net, they are used by many on this forum. $8.18 for .fr. free privacy (when applicable)

eurodns is extremely expensive. try 101domains (they also aren't cheap but are still way cheaper than eurodns and cover most tld's). notice that both 101domains and eurodns (and some other intl registrars) sometimes say domain is available, when it's not. all they do sometimes is ping it, if it...

Thinking that 'doing it yourlself' is cheaper. I'm a programmer, so built a complicated site. Saved money? yeah, but it took me weeks! Which I could have put to much better use than screwing around with shitty javascript. If you learn something in the process then it's ok because you acquire a...

I suffered from this as well. Thinking it's all about little wizardry tricks of cheating ranking with that software, converting to sales with that little marketing trick, whatever. At the end of the day if you actually want to see real money as a reward for the time you spend you need to...

This is the case yes. Variations of this method are a decade old and the good domains have been snapped long ago. Plus any recent expiring domains (domains which have expired in recent years) have already been snapped automatically by domainers who algorithmically lurk the drop lists.
