That sounds like it would be a problem with your email settings on your hosting service. Some people use spam programs on their hosting accounts which you can configure from your control panel. The registrar or DNS server wouldn't affect your email being flagged as spam.

Nice tour except for what is up with that one bedroom. Looks like the person just got up out of bed! Plus they could have just slid the clothes out of the room, it looks like a clothing store. Everything else looks so nice and then you get into that room and it all falls apart.

Just register the domain yourself today! There is no reason to wait and you don't need anything other than like $10 to do it. If you need help give me a message and I can walk you through it. You will get a "parking" page for free from the registrar and then once you decide on a designer a...

I couldn't imagine freelancing at $40 because after taxes (especially self employment, ssn, medicare), costs, plus not being able to bill all your time (due to interaction and other non-billiable hours) it doesn't seem like it would be worth it. Of course I can't say what a good rate would be becaus...

The companies I have worked for charge over $120 / hour for application development and around $85 for web development. You can hire any highschool kid for $15 an hour but you usually get what you pay for. Most of our clients have been large companies so there are higher demands and expectations the...

There is a new annoying thing out there I think to take advantage of Blogger.com and create poker, casino, or porn "blogs". These blogs are really just liks through to their site and when you use the next blog function on your blog you don't get someone elses random blog but a super stupid...

I would just send the entire check to the Laguna Beach address and as THEM to send you the "extra" to cover your rental. Why can't the other people ever cash the check and then send US the correct amount Tell them that the rental will not be booked until you hear from the other party. 8)

We used to do virtual 360 tours with the iPix software at another place I worked. You had a special tripod on which you mounted a digital camera with a 151 degree fish eye lens. You took one picture then rotated the camera 180 degrees using the click stop on the tripod and then took a second picture...
