Addon Domains - The Walkthrough
Addon Domains and How to Use Them Many seasoned webmasters may already know what an addon domain is, but others do not. This article walks through how to set up add on domains, and how to make the most of this incredibly useful feature. Let's get started! What is an Addon Domain? An addon domain is a fully independent domain that is created from within your hosting control panel, mainly cPanel. They are used if you are looking to host multiple websites sharing the same server, but they are treated as separate websites of their own. You can have your...
Political Forums and Everything Else
A common misconception I often find from webmasters starting a new forum is that all forum topics are alike. You start the forum, add content, add staff members, post content yourself, and soon you'll be riding the gravy train with discussion everywhere. With some categories it can literally be that easy.

Debate offers an endless and often argumentative experience for users...

These included a flexible permissions system, a clear,...

Are promotion forums as effective as we think?
This article was first posted on our blog on 07/02/2010. For this reason, the information may be outdated and no longer reliable/correct. Are promotion forums as effective as we think? Over the last couple of weeks I have been thinking a lot about how promotion forums work and whether they are effective. I would of course love to think promotion forums are the most effective way of advertising forums, websites and blogs, but I do have some points I would like to cover. Promotion forums came about around 7 years ago (3 years, when this article was first written), I...
