Read this blog to learn about Domain owner is the king! Don’t let your developer hold your domain for ransom!

Above diagram shows the basic setup. Your developer is dealing with multiple vendors. The first and most important being Domain Registrar (you decide the DNS vendor here). The second being DNS (you decide hosting and/or email company here). The third being web hosting company and fourth being email service provider. You can get all these services from the same vendor or 4 different vendors. To make things complex, I have used all four different vendors but normally it is three (this is debatable so not getting into that).

Domain Registrar –> DNS (A-record) –> Website hosting company (machine)

–> DNS (MX-record) –> Email hosting company

So anyone who has Domain Registrar a/c access for that domain can change everything else. Let’s assume domain name is fairshare.tech

  1. let’s say your developer is not responding or asking you to pay unreasonable service charges
  2. copy the contents of website to another hosting (means different IP address)
  3. point A-record –> new IP Address
  4. That’s it … fairshare.tech will be up and running again! 
  5. Occasionally, even after updating the A-record, you may find that your website isn’t loading properly. Here is how you can debug this issue: (1) Check DNS settings using (2) You might also read and try if A-record is propagated globally: https://fairshare.tech/2021/09/28/how-to-ensure-website-availability-from-other-countries/ (3)  This issue could be due to your Windows laptop retaining outdated DNS information in its cache. To address this, initiate the Command Prompt and execute the command ping domainname. If the output displays the old IP address, you should clear the DNS cache by running ipconfig /flushdns. After clearing the cache, attempt the ping command once more. This procedure often resolves the issue. However, if the problem persists, it indicates that the root cause lies elsewhere.

Is your website using SSL and why you should care?

Is your website using SSL and why you should care?

by | Jul 20, 2020 | Android App, post page, Services

Read the below blog to learn about Is your website using SSL and why you should care?

You can easily find out if any website is using SSL. Just look at top left of website address bar in your browser. If it says https and/or shows a nice lock then SSL is implemented. If it shows http or shows “Not secured” then it means SSL is not implemented.
 
The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) as a story
 
– King V sending messages to King W using a Pigeon. Message: “Gold is on it’s way and unlock using ABCD as key!”
– King H captures pigeon and reads the message and snatches Gold
– King W and V get smarter. They agree on a code language (encrypt message) only they can understand
– Now even if King H captures messages, he does not understand the message and theft is averted
– That is SSL simplified
– Just imagine that King W is your website and King V are your website visitors and King H is hacker
– If SSL is set up then millions of hackers in between can not decode the credit card number that visitors may provide
– But SSL does not necessarily stop a direct attack by King H on King W’s castle. That is a different problem where rules are changing every minute.
 
Where else SSL helps?
 
Perception:
 
1) website visitors get uncomfortable when they see “Not secured” messages. So it is better to have SSL.
 
2) Search ranking: we will never know exactly how Google ranks websites. But one of the criteria that is supposed to impact positively is having SSL.
 
Ask your IT Partner to set up SSL. If your IT partner can’t, we will be glad to help.
 
SSL certificate is available for free these days so your IT partner might be able to do this under $20 (Rs. 1500) as service charges if it is only one simple site.
 
Note that your developer might need to adjust .htaccess file like below:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
