Hosting & Domains News
News, tips & offers from Ireland's leading hosting & domain registration companies
We were at Blog Awards Ireland a couple of weeks ago. As we mentioned several times, we were a sponsor and we’ve also been active bloggers for a long time.. A very long time! The event organisers have put out a short video with highlights from the event and if you fast forward to about […]
Next week I’ll be in Paris for the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). The event, which is now in its 13th year, is held under the auspices of the United Nations, with this year’s edition being held in the UNESCO buildings in central Paris. The IGF tends to attract a varied group of people from government, […]
Next week I’ll be heading to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for Domaining Americas. It’s the first time the event is being held, but hopefully it won’t be the last. I’ll be speaking on a couple of topics: ICANN – there’ll be a panel featuring myself, Daniel Fink from ICANN’s Latin American team and Olga Cavalli, […]
On today’s podcast, we’re delighted to announce that Blacknight will be a sponsor of The Spiders – Ireland’s longest established web awards – which has gone through numerous incarnations over the years. It’s now part of a stable of events being developed under the umbrella of Dublin Tech Summit. William Brightling is the CEO of […]
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 […]
