    Do You Bother

    Most shared hosting will have a software based firewall that can automatically block or rate limit IP addresses based on failed login attempts. WordPress I'm sure has a plugin that can do the same thing. In my experience, this type of thing is not something you want to do manually.

    New Domain Services letter

    I registered a new business name with ASIC about 2 weeks ago. Five business days after I registered the name, I received a letter from New Domain Services (newdomain[dot]com[dot]au) offering to buy the .com.au domain version of my business name. The letter came to my registered postal address...

    Go the Swans!

    For all the AFL nuts, who are you backing for this weekend's match? I'm picking the Swans by 2 goals.

    Uploading Wordpress FIles

    Your .htaccess file goes in the public_html directory. If it doesn't exist, just create one. You can do it with the cpanel file manager.

    NF, could you please update this page to actually just show the domains added in the last 7 days? http://www.netfleet.com.au/last-7-days-domains

    Best Hosting ?

    Best? What's your budget? If cost isn't an issue, companies like Bulletproof & Anchor are great but I assume you're more after a combination of decent quality and low-cost. VentraIP is probably the best value at the lower end of the pricing scale.

    Holiday.com

    I do agree, I'd personally want it spot on!

    Holiday.com

    Relatively easy to spot with your hint. I wonder whether I would have picked it up otherwise. Whether or not it'll affect the outcome of the auction is debatable :)

    interspire email marketer

    I believe all support is done from the admin area from memory. I was told this was possible last time I checked. There is a fee involved from memory but I may be wrong, it was about 2 years ago I asked! I personally think it's a great system and use it regularly on a self-hosted VPS. Campaign...

    Are back orders coming back?

    Ha :) The latter of course!

    Are back orders coming back?

    Great analogy and one that holds very true :) Assuming the backordered name is any good. I have a number of clients who are interested in backordering domains for piece of mind. I personally think it's a great service and have had good results with it in the past.

    Are back orders coming back?

    I've been in contact with NF for months regarding the backorders - I'm told they are coming back, just no fixed date for their return. A big +1 for me to get them back up and running as the other backorder providers don't stand a chance against NF currently for competitive domains.

    Melbourne IT to buy Netregistry Group

    Congrats to Larry and the team! It's great for them, considering 2013 earnings were only $6m. The downside for me is now I have to move everything away from them as I'm not a MelbourneIT fan at all :(

    Current au Backorders

    Are there any drop-style registrars currently offering .au backorders? I just noticed NetRegistry are offering them for $9.95 a year which sounds great but I don't know the details on how well it performs, if it's their own system or just NetFleets, etc. NetFleet haven't offered them for a...

    Domains with "0"

    I second this. It's misleading any other way IMO.

    realbusinesses.com.au closing down

    That's a shame. Well I guess it opens the door for some new competition. My only gripe with realbusinesses.com.au was all the rubbish/franchise listing ads.

    Twitter username stolen through domain name extortion

    Interesting read. Gives a reminder to setup the extra security layers on your services such as 2-factor auth, etc.

    back orders

    Looks like a wording issue has been missed. I don't think you misread it Tim, it's not clear IMO.
