Hosting & Domains News
News, tips & offers from Ireland's leading hosting & domain registration companies
I’ll be attending events in Canada next week. The first part of the week will be devoted to ICANN related matters at the GDD Summit in Vancouver. While the schedule for the event has a fairly broad range of topics I suspect a lot of the discussions will be around GDPR and how we’re all […]
This week I’ll be heading over to Riga in Latvia to attend and speak at the first edition of the Baltic Domain Days. The event, which is being held over two days, will cover a fairly broad range of topics including domain takedowns, copyright issues, privacy and cybersecurity. I’ll be speaking on a panel entitled […]
Next week I’ll be attending both a registrar training event and Domain Pulse in Munich, Germany. It makes sense to colocate multiple events, so ICANN are holding a registrar event in the same venue as the bigger Domain Pulse to capitalise on attendance. While Domain Pulse is running Thursday and Friday a few of us will also […]
Tomorrow I’ll be heading off to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Much as I’d love to be escaping the Irish winter for the warmer climes of the UAE I’m actually heading over there to participate at the ICANN meeting. As always there’s plenty of things going on within ICANN and the public meetings […]
We’ve always attended events both in Ireland and overseas and 2017 is no different. And one of the things that I’ve always enjoyed about attending events is that you can often get to meet the person behind the email or the Twitter avatar. I always enjoy that. However we probably haven’t done a very good […]
Cong village was once again invaded for the weekend by a diverse collection of consultants, teachers, academics, politicians, entrepreneurs, business owners, farmers, physiotherapists and psychologists who gathered to discuss the future at Congregation #cong16. In the run up to the event all the participants produced a 600 blog submission which they presented on the day. […]
A couple of us will be heading off to New Orleans tomorrow morning. Why are we going there? Well New Orleans plays host to this year’s HostingCon. We’ve been attending HostingCon for the last few years and find it useful to catch up with various vendors, partners and other suppliers, as well as a good […]
There aren’t that many domain focussed events held in Europe. Domaining Europe, which is now in its 8th year, is probably the biggest. Up until this year the event was always held in Valencia, Spain, but for 2016 the event organisers decided to move it to The Hague. I’ve been attending the event for the […]
Next week is the INTA annual conference in Orlando, Florida. INTA is the international trademark association, whose members are a mix of trademark lawyers and other trademark professionals. It’s not an event that I’d normally be attending, nor is it an event I’d ever have imagined I’d be speaking at. But next week I will […]
Montenegro is a “young” country and this year will see it celebrating 10 years of its independence. It’ll also mark the 8 year anniversary of the launch of the .me domain name, the domain extension for Montenegro. Montenegro isn’t the biggest country in Europe, but it’s definitely one of the prettiest! This Friday I’ll be […]
