Before going any further with this we should point out, as we always do, that using free services for web hosting always brings with it certain risks and we do not recommend using free services for any site that is at all important to you and most certainly not one with any commercial or business intentions.

Having said that, we are well aware that many visitors to our site find their way to us through searches for free hosting and free domain names – everyone loves a freebie it seems!

The following video shows how you can use two free services to get a) a domain name and b) a free place to host it.

Beyond that we do not endorse or recommend either service in any way and have no personal experience of either one. How it compares to other free services or how reliable and stable the hosting will turn out to be is something on which we cannot comment. If you are insistent on running a website for free, we hope you will find the video useful however.

If anyone has any experience of either service please share your knowledge with others and leave us a comment below.

If you are looking for quality commercial web hosting services please check out our main page for web hosting providers.

D9 Hosting have recently relaunched their website with a much cleaner and more user friendly look, but the changes are not just cosmetic.

D9 Hosting have announced some big changes and the major points are listed below:-

New Hosting Packages From D9 Hosting

The core package now offers all the disk space and bandwidth you will need for your home and small business sites, whilst new reseller accounts allow you to sell hosting services to your own clients, under your own brand. You even get a free domain name reseller account so you have access to domain names at wholesale prices.

For clients that need more power, there are now VPS (virtual Private Servers), Hybrid and Dedicated Plans. So, no matter what your hosting needs are, D9 Hosting can accommodate you and your customers.

New Server Locations

No longer do your sites have to be situated in the US. For customers that need quick response times to Europe, D9 Hosting announce that they can now provide you with VPS, Hybrid, and Dedicated plans located in the UK.

New Customer Rewards (subject to change)

As an existing customer of D9 Hosting a new range of special offers is being introduced and at the time of writing you can now take advantage of the following:-

UK VPS Special – 10 GB extra Disk Space, 50% Extra RAM, 10% Discount

Minisite & Graphic Design – 10% Discount For All Customers

These will be updated every few weeks so it’s important that you keep checking back to make sure you don’t miss anything!

Cheaper Domain Names

This part of the D9 Hosting update process was actually implemented as a test a couple of months ago, and you’ll be pleased to know they are sticking with the new cheaper domain name prices.

You can now register, renew, and transfer domains through D9 Hosting for only £6.99 per year (.com pricing, other TLD’s may vary), this is one of the cheapest prices on the net so you may want to consider using them as your domain registrar.

You can find out all about D9 Hosting’s plans and prices by clicking on the graphic and visiting their new website.

Submit reviews and ratings of your web host. The CaymanHost Hosting Directory was originally established to help people make an informed decision about web hosting and to find the best deal for their needs.

In recent weeks we have made a lot of changes as it was not really easy to submit a review of a hosting company and consequently reviews were always rather thin on the ground.

Now all that has changed and we need your hosting reviews. You can now rate your host’s performance on several key points as well as leave your written reviews of your experiences.

Help others and help yourself by taking a few moments to review any hosting company of which you have experience as a consumer.

Just click on Customer Reviews in the top menu bar and you will find an alphabetical list of hosting companies for which you can read or submit reviews. We will be adding companies as time goes by, providing an excellent point of reference for anyone looking to buy hosting, change hosting companies and register domain names. If there is a company you would particularly like to review please contact us via our helpdesk to request its inclusion and we will do our best to accommodate you as soon as possible.

We probably all wish we knew more about the hosting company we chose before we finally chose them so why not save other people the pain of making the wrong choice or help them find a company that will serve them well?  We will post reviews both good and bad, positive and negative in tone although all reviews are subject to moderation before publication.

So, drop by and tell us all about your hosting company and you web hosting experiences and let’s build a useful reference resource for everyone.

Domain tasting is the practice of registering a domain with the intention of taking full advantage of ICANN’s “Create Grace Period” (CGP), holding those domains for up to five days, analyzing traffic and revenue statistics over the course of that 5 day period and discarding them for a full refund if they have a lack luster performance. Domains which have the potential to earn the minimum of the registration fee are kept and parked or littered with a smorgasbord of ppc ads.

Now, this term has been around for some time, but there has never really been any solid evidence of this practice that I am aware of.

The following is an excerpt from Bob Parsons (CEO and founder, Godaddy.com) Online Blog.

“DirectNIC registered more than 8.4 million domain names in April 2006, but only permanently registered — or paid for — 51.4 thousand of those. The trend was the same in March, when DirectNIC registered 7.6 million names and only permanently registered — or paid for — 52.5 thousand. Whatever could DirectNIC be doing?”

This is sadly as close to actual proof that we can get, not definitive by any means but very interesting none the less.

We as webmasters must take the right precautions to avoid such a detrimental set back to a new project. The loss of an amazing keyword domain or perhaps worse the best possible brandable domain could mean your project is “chewed”.

The following are a couple of tips to help you avoid domain tasting and register the domain you want without any hassle.

1. Do not search for your new domain without having the funds to purchase it readily available, you want to avoid tipping anyone off to an unregistered name that you have your eye on so make sure you have your credit card handy if you do choose to search, if you find a domain you want or even 10 domains, register them then and there, this way you are not giving anyone the opportunity to taste them, and use the CGP to your advantage, cancel the 9 that don’t seem to fit and keep the gem.

2. If you do choose to search without taking the necessary payment precautions and your domain does get registered while your off looking through the washing machine to see what pair of khakis you left your wallet in, don’t blame us, but do take the correct steps to get it back.

If you think it was a taster because the odds of it being registered by anyone else are almost incalculable, leave it alone, thats right leave it. If you think about it, tasting domains is to see the traffic the domain receives, if you view it over and over again you’ll never get it back because the taster will think they have a keeper. So abandon all searches for 1 week, after 1 week go to a different registrar, search for it, if its there congratulations, register it and move on, if not sorry about your luck you did everything you could. So to everyone reading this, remember, if you think you have found “the” domain, make 100% sure you have the funds to register it and do so without thinking, it may be your last opportunity.
