Bought New Domain, But Not For Me

+ = cecilemaris.com

Just this afternoon, I bought my sister a domain (cecilemaris.com) at GoDaddy as a gift for her 18th birthday this November 6. I used my mom’s credit card to pay for it, but I still have to pay my mom for that.

I still had to configure the nameservers to point on my DreamHost hosting cause I only bought the domain. It’s no problem for me cause I still got more than 200GB of free webspace.

It was my first time to work on nameserver stuff as I have no previous knowledge with them, but it still went very well. In a short span of time, her domain was propagated around the world. I noticed that it propagated itself on PLDT servers instantly, while it took about an hour before it propagated to BayanTel (after changing the configuration, I tried to point the site using the two ISPs. PLDT resolved the hostname of my sister’s site instantly, while it took some time for BayanTel to resolve the hostname. I encountered tons of 404 pages on BayanTel before I accessed the site).

My sister’s using the domain for her blog. My sister was the one who introduced blogging to me and now I am reintroducing it to her. She’s very excited to blog on her new domain, but she is still very busy finding the right theme for her.

I’m helping her out on her blog tonight, from plugins, themes, niche and etc. I’d try to convince her to agree on the MBS1 resolution and blog-for-a-cause (peace in Mindanao? maybe Mindanao’s promotion’d be more feasible).

Good luck to me!
