Re: Domains

Yes, I’m sure a very good deal could be negotiated by someone with negotiating power – but who is that? Who will represent the CMS and have everyone’s backing?

Re: Domains

Following on from your post here, Gaekwad, textpartners.com has gone. I say a clean break with all textpattern domains redirected to a new quite different name and get the .org and .net at the same time. I have two 4-letter domains, one with connections with txp, (I bet you can ‘t guess it ;-) and one which means first class excellence or first class with extra love. They both have .org, .net available. You won’t find a meaningful 4-letter .com domain, or 5-letter for that matter, anymore. You will also have trouble finding anything short with cms added, such as koalacms.com. Warm fuzzy names with cms at the end are all gone, at least the ones I tried.

Just a few thoughts. But perhaps it’s only me, Bert and Yiannis who are bothered and most people prefer to leave txp.com on Joyent until the worse comes to the worse?

A bunch of open source websites have ‘hosting provided by x’ or ‘support provided by y’,

Even without donated hosting, it’s pretty amazing what you can get nowadays for only $10/month.

Yes, unlimited everything is the norm nowadays. Were it not for restrictions from ISPs and meager upload bandwidth, I could host all my sites internally, which I did when I first started HCGTV.

In the early days, hcgtv.com was running Nucleus CMS, hcgtv.net was running PunBB, and hcgtv.org was running a singapore gallery, all being served off a DSL line in my house.

The machine that served the pages was a Pentium Pro with a 10,000 rpm SCSI disk, I don’t remember the exact specs, but it did an excellent job of handing out pages to visitors.

Google is coming to Charlotte, can you imagine the upload speeds that they have.

Re: Domains

Is it possible for those on the European side of the Pond to get together with Dean over beers or wine and have a frank discussion of the Domain TEXTPATTERN.COM and the CMS TEXTPATTERN and the future ….

Re: Domains

bici, I think people have been trying to do that for years but he’s a very slippery customer. I had the same experience as others of never getting replies to my emails. You just cannot trust someone like that. No matter what his excuse may be.

Re: Domains

If one were to rely on Dean et al as has been the case for many years, this in the business world would not be considered very wise. Its time to move on from Dean.

Accepted. Then the next step is to drop HIS domains. Time to take control. ….

Ditto for Textpattern.xyz – Namecheap was running a $1 sale, couldn’t resist.
