Price increase for .com .net domains

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

As you may now be aware, the price of .com and .net domain names have increased by a small percentage since January 15, 2012. While some registrars are passing the exact price increase percentage along to clients, others use this as an opportunity to raise prices even higher.

Here in Sri Lanka we are alao paying more LKR for USD than a few months ago. So what do we do? Guess we need to increase the prices as well…

Right now, we are still offering our present clients the same price we charged for their domains last year but we would have to incrases it slightly. I mean a wee bit okay?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

To those of you who use the Joomla CMS, you would be happy to note the release of Joomla 1.7. From now on, every six months, a new version of Joomla will be released. It started with Joomla 1.6 in January 2011 as the first short term release, and it continues now with Joomla 1.7 as the second short term release.

After three short term releases, a long term release will come up. That means, that every 18 months, a long term release of Joomla will appear. The first long term release of Joomla 1.8 is expected in January 2012.

One of the nice new features in Joomla 1.7 is that it offers batch processing of articles. So now you can process access levels and even select category for move/copy of several articles in one go.

Happy Joomlaing!
