Private Domain Registration
Did you know that anyone — including spammers and telemarketers — can find your contact information just by looking up your domain name online?
That's right. The Internet's governing body, ICANN, requires that every domain owner's name and contact information be listed in an online database. Unfortunately, many solicitors regularly go through this database to gather contacts for marketing campaigns.
Now you can keep your contact information out of the public eye using Yahoo! Private Domain Registration.
How Does Private Domain Registration Work?
* When you sign up, our partner Melbourne IT updates your registration listing with generic contact information that points to Melbourne IT's offices.
*Whenever someone looks up your domain and tries to contact you, Melbourne IT receives the call, email, or letter and screens the information on your behalf.
*Melbourne IT forwards prescreened communications to you, so you can reply as you see fit.
Windows Live: Friends get your Flickr, Yelp, and Digg updates when they e-mail you.

Cheap Web Hosting
At times you will come across deals that are almost too good to be true - cheap web hosting with amazing features!
There are hosts that while offering cheap prices do back that up with excellent performance and service, but there are things to be noted:
Look very closely to what is written in their terms of service (TOS) and acceptable use policy (AUP) documents. Some hosts try to limit the activity of the customer through these two.
Unlimited bandwidth or space. As explained on our scams page, offering either of those two as unlimited is not possible.
The quality of bandwidth and the overall performance. Some hosts scrimp on these to give you cheaper prices. Do a self test - visit the host's website multiple times in a day to see that it remains fast loading.
In general, Windows Hosting is more expensive than Unix hosting.
Test out the support, and take a look over the online documentation. If you are paying less than $10 a month (which is roughly 30 cents a day), do not expect to receive an answer right after email the host. Many hosts now offer flash tutorials online which can be an excellent way to learn how a feature works.
Do some research - visit google.com and WebHostingTalk and look up feedback on a host.
Just because a host is cheap does not mean that you will receive 'cheap' service, but you must be careful.
