Your own Domain and Website – Part 3

Image
By

We continue the process of getting you own free or low cost site and gmail, from the previous post.
Recap: So far we have found a domain name that is available for registering (onecoolname.co.za), and we have signed up at a DNS service provider (in this case it is ZoneEdit).


Part 3: Sending Through the Domain Registration

We are working with the co.za domain registration process in this example which uses a manually submitted text file.

In Part 1 you downloaded the registration from co.za, it is very important that you DO NOT open this is word, you must open it is a text based editor. DO NOT FORMAT this form in any way.
  • No matter how get the form from page http://www.coza.net.za/coza_reg.txt, then select the whole page,
  • If you are using a browser to do this then go to the bottom right corner, and while holding the mouse down I drag to the top left corner.
  • I then press Ctrl-C (or right click copy). For Mac users you need to do it a different way
  • The from you Gmail click [Compose mail]
  • The email will open, then click the hyperlink that says Plain Text, it will give you a warning, say yes
  • Paste the registration form, do not delete anything, or do any formatting
  • Open the text registration form, and fill it in, here are a few notes:
    • 1a add the domain name, in this case onecoolname.co.za
    • 1b – put "N" there
    • 2a,b,c, etc put you details
    • 2e – put "I"
    • 2f – the company name
    • 2g – use your GMail email
    • 2i-n your details
    • 3 Leave Blank.
    • 4 & 5a-g your details
    • IMPORTANT 6. This is where you put the details you got in Part 2 from ZoneEdit and the name servers FQDN is the name which will be nsx.zoneedit.com, the IP addresses are the numbers in brackets. Primary is nameserver 1, Secondary = nameserver 2.
      NOTE- only put the two servers in do not get confused by the additional Secondary Server listings.
    • 9 fill in descriptive details, this may become legally relevant
    • 10 fill in the legal address
  • If you have not already add coza-admin.at.co.za, under the To: address as instructed
  • Add a subject for you own tracking
  • Press [Send]
You should get  a reply in a few minutes. If you receive an error following the post read the error message carefully and correct what they tell you is wrong, if you did not submit it as text, it will fail, if you fill in things incorrectly they will fail. But if it does fail it tells you why. Correct and resubmit. Otherwise post error as a comment and I will try and help.

Now you need to wait for confirmation of the registration. In the meantime you can continue to Part 4, but Part 4 will only be a setup if part 3 fails.

Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency – what is it and how can I benefit

By
What is it I started investigating Bitcoin when it was worth just over $1000 a bitcoin. I was interested in what it was and how it worked. A lot of people are saying we missed the boat, but I believe that everyone should at least try put a little money in now, or at least use a faucet (see below) to make a little micro-currency. You can read a Wiki article about bitcoin and its history etc. But what you need to know is that it is a currency, that is independent of country. No one really knows who invented the concept of a cryptocurrency since the person who published the paper used a nom de plume. All new cryptocurrencies work more or less the same way as Bitcoin. So as I explain below I interchange these terms. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency. How Bitcoin works The currency releases a coin based on a mathematical formula. There will never be more than 21 million bitcoins (other cryptocurrencies do not work like this). Each bitcoin can have divided into one hundred mil...

Access conversion NOTE1: default DateSerial in VBA/Access to SQL

By
I have started slowly converting my Access database to SQL. The reason is that I would like to take the application online. After trying to use Access's (version 2007) transfer tool, which did not work that well. I found Microsoft's SQL Migration Assistant 2008 for Access, nicknamed SSMA. Which you can download here . When you install there is a niggle about the license, which you need to download into their specified directory and it must be the name they provide. So about the create table. My one table would not convert and I could not see why. After looking at the SQL command I saw the problem was the use of DateSerial. I googled a few sites and could not find an answer The CREATE TABLE line was: [RequireUntilDate] datetime2(0) DEFAULT DateSerial(1980,1,1) NOT NULL, I clicked on the whole command and copied it and then in SQL Server Management Studio, I tried to create the table and found that if I specified the date in US date format it worked: [RequireUnti...
