Just found that Dan Cameron had a horrible experience with 1and1 couple of months back. It happened to me also 6 months back with 1and1 and they charged me some xtra money even after i faxed the cancellation form after visiting cancel.1and1.com. I even lost my domain obharath.com after 1 year because of those stupid guys at 1and1. I too like Dan believe that they have done this purposefully. They dont even bother to reply me abt my domain but they send me emails asking Satisfied with our service?. HaHa , forget abt satisfaction, i strongly recommend users of 1and1 to cancel their services immediately. 1and1 is one of the the worst hosting companies.
Now i bought this new domain again. I run my blog on one of my friends servers and so far i didnt have any problems.
Paul has written an excellent tutorial on How To boost your Blog traffic with the current technologies and techniques. Check it out..
Many first time bloggers automatically assume that once their blog is setup and they put a few posts on it, they will get some hits and regular readers. This is quite untrue. You won’t get any traffic if no one knows about your website. In this article I hope to tackle these problems and discuss some of the common ways bloggers and webmasters drive more traffic to their site by understanding the user.
How To: Reading Files From Windows Partition(NTFS) in Ubuntu Linux
The steps were as follows:
First open the root terminal. Then in Gnome you go to Applications->System Tools->Root Terminal
Once in the root account, you should run this command
# fdisk -l
If you’re not on the root account, precede each command with “sudo”, like this:
# sudo fdisk -l
The next step is to mount the hard drive (assuming that it is /dev/hda1) and put it in a directory:
# mkdir /media/windows
# mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
# cd /media/windows
# ls
If you need to unmount the partition, do this:
# umount /media/windows/
If you have trouble with any of this, or a step was unclear, please comment.
