All of my domains have the same NameServers: ns1.bule.org, ns2.bule.org… Bule.org is a domain name I registered in 2006, along bule.ro just because i liked how it sounds. I sold bule.ro to Orlando some time later, but kept the .org.

And moving from one hosting to another (dreamhost, imountain, mediatemple, synco and others), i found a .org domain to be very useful. First of all because the .ro domain management system sucks. Second, because it fails and it’s hard to update your nameservers when the system is so slow and it’s a pain in the ass when you try to move 20 or 30 blogs from one server to another.

So here’s how i work: i told everybody i host to set the same NameServers and now, when i move to another host, i just change the IPs from bule.org’s registrar for the NameServers. No need to change the NS for every domain name. No need to remember the passwords for every .ro domain or keep it in the mail.

Hosting business moves so fast

Some years ago, it took me a couple of hours to download and upload the files from one hosting to another. Now, i move them ftp2ftp via shell access, i update the new IP in the dns zone and in 10 mins the site is moved.

ZenPhoto sucks!

In case anyone asks, zenphoto is a piece of sh*t script! It keeps giving me blank pages for no reason. Just like that. I did not do anything to it and it crashed.

So I spent a few hours moving a lot of my pics to photobucket. I was paying for 25Gb of space and using only 300mb. And I do understand why services like PhotoBucket are making money. Because people want to put their pics there and do not worry about the script being hacked (happened two times with zenphoto) or something going wrong.

And 25$ a year is a good deal.
