Great job once again Badger - your tireless dedication, service and humility towards such an enormous effort that benefits the community at large is greatly appreciated. I don't know if I'm eligible to vote for MOTM, but you've definitely got my support.
The name servers addition will ease the burden of many!
To all of those involved with 1plus.net's conception and continued development: I love you (sniffle, sniffle). If I could pour you all a frosty pint of your favorite brew over the web, I most certainly would.
I registered 8 domains with 1plus.net last week and I am very happy with the service so far. But lately I've noticed that the domain goes down more often than Paris Hilton at an Alpha-Beta-Gamma party.
I'm not too worried about this since I write it off as being caused by the development work that is underway, but when can we expect 1plus.net to be relatively stable?
Regards,

Yeah, likewise here too... been pretty unstable all day....I'm not worried - I know Badger's been swamped with all the upgrades lately and will resolve this shortly as well....
The server has been down most of the day. I am sure Badge is on top of things and will have it going as soon as humanly possible! This project seems pretty enormous and I can just imagine all the problems and nightmares they may encounter.
Sorry Ian, it's the s|-|its when you get so close and the things we have no control over let us down. I admire your persistence and dedication to finish what you have started... but thats who you are. nuff said.
Yeah, all back up now (since yesterday actually)... So thanks for your patience and kind words of support.
We do still have one minor bug with users clicking "domains" once logged on but this is being fixed as we speak....
And its nice to see some of the domains (from whence they were under the 1plus.net/ sub domain system) returning some really nice indexed results.. i.e. "1plus.net/netnow.co.nz" - 440 pages indexed and listed by google
So this will also happen to the root domain now they are "domains" in their own right .... Which Im sure you guys will be extremely excited about..
But unfortunately, in the case of netnow.co.nz, tis a shame that its now parked elsewhere it only returns just the single indexed page..
Sorry Ian, that's one of my sites. It never was completely on 1plus as nearly all my 2nd & 3rd tier parked domains (anything making less than $1.80/month) go to a server I rent & then after I extract and save the referral information I redirect half the traffic to you. Unfortunately my hosting company (who shall remain nameless) "accidentally" pulled my server off the rack & I had 36 hours down-time . To minimise impact I quickly changed the nameservers for my tier 2 sites to the other hosting company.
I didn't realise you were going to use it as an example. I've switched the DNS and pointed netnow's "A" records back at 1plus.net, so it should be available as an example "real soon now"
I didn't feel picked on, just a little ashamed I'd pulled the rug out from under your feet.
The new site links are good and it's nice to see, but there's a couple of things I think need changing.
Taking as an example ecommerceschool.co.nz, another of my domains that has been with 1plus for a while.
The first problem is in the news categories the bottom link is "Adult - may contain graphic images" I'm not a prude & do have some adult titles in my portfolio but I think this link is inappropriate for three reasons:
If it does open up on a page with explicit graphics then it would be a violation of google adsense's rules for my ads to be on that page
I'm afraid that my sites would get tagged "adult" and either filtered out by the search engines or blocked by child safety software
It really isn't appropriate for appearing on my baby or child related website names
The second is a lot less subtle. If you enter the site from the front page, all is sweet. On the other hand if you enter the site using a search engine that deep links into the previous owner's site like this you get a page in a default format without my ads and a very strange copyright notice at the bottom of the page.
Bruce, one of my sites has the same problem you mentioned with it being accessed via a search engine with deep links. I had no clue what was causing that strange behavior. But the odd thing is that I get the strange site even if I type the domain in directly (give it a go at here and see for yourself). Do you know what could be causing this to happen?
Anyhow guys, at ~10h45 (Central time) this morning I visited one of my sites and noticed that ALL of my google adsense code, email address, full name, and miscellaneous other info was displayed in plain view and in plain text at the top of my site. I tried my other sites and I got the same thing. In a panic I removed the adsense code from one of my sites, and when I tested it everything appeared to be back to normal. So it lasted only 2 or 3 minutes from when I noticed this, but I have no idea for how long before 10h45 this was going on.
I know you guys are busy at work trying to perfect this already great system, but please be careful with how some of this private information is handled.
Thanks team.
Regards,
<Alex>

I have set-up an account and am waiting for my "registrar" to tell me the
problem with my name server. for some reason when I try to
change it I get a "cannot connect error" so sent in a ticket
with them to see what's up - just an FYI (in case you see me incomplete)
I think this is the clue as to what's happening to me. I'm picking that the 1plus code is able to parse urls in the formats it makes correctly but when it is presented with a url in a different format it's failing to detect the site and falling back on a default. It needs an extra step, if the domain name isn't 1plus.net, or is 1plus.net & is followed by a domain name extract that & display the default front page for the domain.
Thats kinda weird guys, Im concerned to hear of personal info being displayed . this is because i didnt believe the mysql DB had any connection with the page/site displayed.. If you could send me a screenshot or be more drfinitive as to what was displayed i'll take a peek but, as far as im aware, its nigh on impossible for this to happen, but send me what you saw and i will fix.. Rest assured..
As far as redirection goes, it will be much much better for you guys to use our nameservers now as your domain in its entirety will now be indexed in its own right, rather than as a sub domain as the 1plus site..
Ns1.1plus.net and ns2.1plus.net are your NS..
As far as the problem with voteforvoip.com goes, the problem wasnt site based, the owner had 2 entries for this domain and the first entry took precedence over the 2nd entry.. We will fix the ability to enter two domains of the same name.
The same goes with the displaying of a parking page instead of the correct news page. The default global page is as displayed..
As far as the comments go as to displaying adult related words that may get barred from certain search engines, then this really should be open to discussion. The fact remains that we dont actually have any adult related material but, as someone suggested previously, we should warn if certain images/material/links might get displayed then we should post a warning... Should we disable the adult links entirely, reword them or, use another set of principals....???
Great work, Ian. I'm busy changing my parked domains with the new nameserver, etc. Meanwhile, I'd LOVE to see an option to perhaps decrease the font size, in specific cases, so that the chosen keyword isn't chopped up and doesn't make the web page go far right.
As an example, effectivelinks.com - I've tried a long list of keywords, and none of them brings up relevant content in the way that "Search Engine Optimization" does. (SEO doesn't either). Unfortunately, this comes across in the news as "Latest Search Engine O"... and it makes the adsense go far right (unviewable).
Another example: infomom.com comes across as "Work At Home Mo" news.
Not sure how this could be done, but it'd be an awesome addition, IMHO.
Looking forward to getting through these rough spots so I can bring over 500 domains.
As far as news feeds go, Yahoo news feeds appear down right now, I could use BBC but am afraid, although independant, they'd be UK based.. Google feeds are more advertising based and so Yahoo always seemed the most relevant option.. Again, if users feel that more control is needed then, provide it we shall...
I'm not sure I understand this. If it's a response to my example with ecommerceschool then I suspect I didn't explain the problem clearly.
Can you make it an option on the user's customize page please? "Permit adult links Yes/No" That way people with adult orientated domain names can benefit from the revenue & those without aren't taking any risks.
Isn't it always the way
