Entropedia.info official thread

[Witte]

I am a bit confused about the domain name. I recently cancelled my account at the previous host, and with it the domain name registration also cancelled (entropedia.info). What action should I take now? Where should I register the domain to be sure I remain the owner of it?

Oh and another thing, does anyone know if it is possible to remove personal information from the who is?

The domain should not be canceled (currently due for renewal 7th July)- you should still own it (currently in the name of P***** B*****). Did you get the domain registered as part of setting up the previous hosting package?

Whichever way, you should be able to get the domain transfered to either the new hosting company, or to a separate Registrar and just point the DNS at the new hosting company. I have always preffered the latter - keeping the domain registration separate from the hosting, so if you need to swap hosting again in the future, you dont need to bugger about getting domains transfered, you just need to change the DNS. Looking at it at the moment, the registrar is eNom, but the hosting was with DailyRazor. Were you ever given an eNom login?

And yes, you can largely hide your personal details by opting out of the Whois. This works with most searches, but there are others out there that ignore this and show it anyway. The only way to stay anomamous (how the f**k do you spell that?) is to go through one of the companies that register things on your behalf, usually associated with bulletproof hosting.

Witte, if had your old webhost register the entropedia.info domain, rather than an actual domain registrar, some webhosts include a domain cancellation clause in the fine print in the event you cancel the webhosting service. This is widely regarded as a pretty underhanded policy; I have heard of this with some horrible webhosts such as 1and1.com.

The best option for domain registration is always to register the domain yourself at a true domain registrar (I can recommend enom.com and moniker.com as very good options).

Those registrars also offer what is known as a WHOIS privacy option (usually for an additional $3 per year) that will keep the registrant info private, and provide private WHOIS email contact routing.

PM me for more details, I can help you get very low pricing for the domain registration.

In the meanwhile, as you are aware, we also have www.entropiastats.com pointing to the new Entropedia server. So if for some reason entropedia.info domain stops responding, people will still be able to access the site until you get the domain registration sorted.

Yeh I guess I just have been too lazy by registering it at my host instead of a seperate registar. The domaing should not expire for some time though. Since the domain is registered on my name I think there should be no problems with transfering the domain. I will check out those suggestions. Thanks for the replies.

[Witte]

The domain will be transfered if everything goes ok. My previous host released it and gave the authorization code.

Some small updates to the site:

2008-04-12: Added an "Undo" button to the Latest Updates page. Also added a zoom slider to the Location page.

I have been pimping the map a bit more by adding a legend and some other changes.

I am currently looking for the coordinates the revival area lines of amethera, so I can add them directly to the database. If anyone has these coordinates and is willing to share them, please contact me in PM.

Here's for Eudoria: New Revival map

Maybe Harald has one for Amethera somewhere.

As always, good work.

And a small reminder:

They're automatically updated from http://peauction.com, which is usually pretty good for low end of the price range (it doesn't include buyouts because MA doesn't provide that information). http://www.peauction.com/itemlisting...Hedoc+SK-80+(L) seems to have a pretty consistent record of ~115% sales -- why do you say it's off?

I suggest a support case requesting that MA open up market information from their RCE. Their in-game market value tools are rudimentary compared to peauctions, so it's a shame Smoothee's site is handicapped by lack of complete data.
