 (image source )While I’m not a very religious person, I’ve browsed through the Bible, but cannot tell you who wrote it, there are many words of wisdom in it. I define words of wisdom as “Ideas that make sense”, or “Fundamental Wisdom”. One of my favorites bible quotes is “Give And You Shall Receive”. It does not say “Receive And You Shall Give”. If you want a better salary, if you want to be loved, if you want others to be kind to you, act before you ask. Acts of kindness in my opinion are acts that are done completely unselfishly, without consideration of receiving. Call it Karma, good luck, fortune, or whatever, but for me, it always happen that good things happen when helping others.

 By Colin Finnan, CS/Transfer SpecialistAll domainers want to know how to make a profit from their domains, but a question they should be asking just as frequently is, “How do I make sure my domains stay secure?” Due diligence is the first step to maintaing ownership of yours domains. Make sure that you are familiar with your registrar’s practices and procedures. All contacts for your domains should be listed with YOUR information and NOT someone else’s.
