  1. I use reg 123 and just pay every 2-3 years, it is quite cheap. I 99% certain that you cannot actually buy a domain outright, you lease it (rent)

     

    See this Australian article:

     

    The concept of being able to buy domain names isn't technically correct - nobody can buy a .com.au domain name permanently or even a purchase a .com, whether you get a new name or acquire an existing one. 

     

    A domain purchaser in reality is a registrant; renting the license from the Australian registry to use the website name for a set period, with an option to renew the lease. 

     

    In the case of getting a new website address, while you cannot buy domain names outright or permanently, what you can do is to register a name. This is like purchasing a lease from the organisation that runs whatever registry the extension is associated with and shouldn't be confused with third party name leasing.

     

    For example, any website name with .au as an extension is regulated by auDA, the Australian Domain Name Administrator. Our company is an auDA accredited domain registrar; which is very different to a website address reseller.

     

    Registration lease times can vary depending on the extension - some domain names you can register for up to 10 years at a time. The standard period you can register .com.au, net.au, .org.au, .asn.au or .id.au names is 2 years. That is another myth we can bust - you cannot buy a domain name forever; however, you can continually renew registration to maintain control over it.

     

    While the term "buying a domain name" is also commonly used in relation to purchasing an existing name registered to someone else; again, the purchaser isn't buying the domain name as such, just acquiring the rights to get a lease on that name and re-register it. 

     

    However, this situation certainly doesn't discourage the practice and the domain name buying and selling industry (more accurately known as trading) is a booming multi-billion dollar business, with some existing website names being purchased and sold for millions of dollars each.

     

    While you can't buy a domain name, you can rest assured that as long as you're not contravening any policies associated with the registry or infringing on someone's trademarks, you will be able to keep using the web name for as long as you like, assuming of course you stay up to date with your registration fees.

     

    Now that we've cleared up the "buy domain names" myth; you can now register a .com.au or get another extension with full knowledge of what you're actually purchasing for your money; to buy with confidence (so to speak).

  2. Surprised how cheap they are to be honest Jamer what is the image quality like both day and night?

  3. I apologise that the Pad was offline, apparently there was email spam being sent from the server but I was out of the UK and could not access my control panel. I am sure that my host could if simply just suspended the email services on my account instead of taking the website completely offline. 

     

    Okay were back!

  4. Not to good.

    I haven't installed it on my phone yet which is what i want to do in the long run for breaking news and weather issues, i have been viewing online every day and amazed at how much sh1t is spoken, people will talk about anything on there, only "following" (gettin down with the kids now)about half a dozen bodies near me, i mean i see something about 3 hour flight delay and saying "Promoted" so i presume that is twitter adverts.

    Now if i follow someone called "local freds shop" and i follow him because he is local and i'm intrested in local stuff, if he is following someone in manchester and he "Re tweets" that guys tweet, am i right in thinking it WILL show up on my feed?

    Yes because you have chosen to follow him you will see all of his activity. 

  5. Let me have a nose at some reviews and come back to you, i know sod all about IP cams, do they just stream to the router and feed gets saved on hdd or something on those lines?
