Tatey.com moves to Bur.st
Posted in This Site on Sunday, 11th December 2005
Ashley recently informed me of a free service called Bur.st Networking. They’re basically an Australian based non-profit ISP who operate out of donations from it’s respective users. For the time being, I’m trialling this service and if it meets my expectations, I’m more than happy to contribute annually donations. There are several advantages of switching tatey.com over to Bur.st. Using BIND Zones, I have much more control over all aspects of the domains. For example, I can now have http://tatey.com rather than the annoying www because I have a dynamic IP and use DynDNS. Previously, my existent register only permitted A-Records (IP Address) which is useless for dynamic IPs. Secondly, it should be “faster” to resolve, since it’s Australian based. You can check our Bur.st here, they offer a wide array of useful services. This website may appear down over the next 48 hours as the domain name switches to Bur.st. In the meantime, this website is accessible through http://shoeboxj492.dyndns.org. Cheers.
Update: After much stuffing around, I still could not achieve what I wanted with Bur.st and my domain was down for over a week. Completely unacceptable. I opted to switch back to Joker.com and I’ll try Bur.st in the future when I can get my head around forwarding tatey.com to another CNAME without the www. Their help and support was fast and friendly, thumbs up.

http://tatey.com redirects to http://www.tatey.com. I believe this is a result of your apache configuration. At least with Bur.St the address tatey.com actually resolves, as opposed to the joker.com service not knowing what you’re on about.

very unhappy with bur.st at the moment.
They are apparently experiencing very high server load while they wait for a new server.
Although Jesse’s server load button would indicate they’re not under that much pressure right now.
