My first domain is it-lodge.com, registered on 1999. Perhaps, I have also registered websitesolution.com.my and could be even earlier, but it was all done and managed by Asia Pacific Net.
One thing I’m sure – PageRank (PR) has really nothing to do with how long a domain name was registered. The website it-lodge.com has PR1 because it was not updated for long.
The challenge of getting it-lodge.com done, mainly because I was required to setup the website and all its pointing to our own web server. It was a Xitami server installed in a Windows platform, sitting on a HP server.
It was all new to me. I used a Public DNS Service called Granite Canyon (I’m happy that I can remember the name still). There are no nice interface for me to edit the zone file in their DNS server. It was all done manually from setting A to MX records.
Then, comes the Xitami server that never seems to work. I configured it in blind. Lucky, the whole projects was funded under the research projects by my mentor, Dr. Lee Yee Loon. He is the head of research of UTHN. It was how I managed to learn all this, with his support.
The IT-Lodge project meant to be a Research Portal to bridge researchers and industrial people. We don’t have Blog those days. But, Dr. Lee’s ideas of sharing inspiring us until today.
Hey Pin,
In your post i notice that you had mentioned that PR is not affected by how long a domain name is registered. Well, is really not affected with the date of registration but it count in how long a domain name pointed to a server and the activeness. I had read this tips from one of the resources i found last time and forgot from where. Anyway, just 2.5 cent from me…^^
The IT-Lodge.com was registered long enough and all this while pointing to a fix page on a server. It does not fetch high PR still. Thanks for sharing.
