In the coming two and a half months, people in my country can register a .cn domain at only 1rmb. China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) issues this sale in hope of seeing a bloom or something. Likewise, renewals for the next year will be at normal price. Attractive? Who gives a shit.

Perhaps you already know, that running a website in China is much more difficult than in any other countries on this planet. The Internet Censorship and the Realname System require your true identity when you order a webhost or sign up for a blog at any BSP. Your submitted infomation must be verified. The same goes for domain registrations. This certainly generates great dissatisfaction and negativities but the red devils won't care. They need to know your real info so that they can shut down your site or even put you in jail, if you say something bad about them online. So, I'm putting myself in danger now, you know. lol

However, I registered two earlier today, but I don't know if I'm gonna renew them next year. I may use one of them to start blogging in Chinese before long.

This afternoon shit happened to my site. My webhost provider (perhaps actually just their system) refused to host my primary domain www.ilemoned.com on their server any longer. This may due to the recent intensity of China's Internet Realname System. I didn't register at that evil system and I will NEVER do so. Nevertheless, a customer service guy promised to help me with the issue tomorrow morning when he goes to work. Hopefully things are gonna settle down soon.

Update: No, things didn't settle down. My domain is banned forever.

Now I'm with SurpassHosting. In celebration of Valentine's Day, they've been running "The One Love Sale" in february, which is totally unbelievable - $1 for an entire year! Today is the last day, see with your own eyes and don't miss it!

I was helping Scavin with his WordPress migration to a new webhost when he told me about that $1 sale. The funny thing is, his new host is just the one which banned me (I recommended it to him)! After a very short discussion, we both ordered our own SurpassHosting. Why to hesitate? It takes only one dollar!

Just now I registered a .name domain, for free!

FreeYourID.com provides the free lunch. They redirect your desired first.last.name domain and its e-mail account to your own ones. They will also active your .name domain for OpenID use. If you don't have a domain, they can still redirect it to your Pageflakes.

The service will be FREE of charge for the first 90 days. If you wanna keep using it after the free trial, I'd say that the price $10.95 per year or $2.99 for 3 months is quite reasonable.

Update: Free trial expired.
