Two Atlanta Music Hosting Domain Names for Sale

Monday, June 29, 2009

I have a great set of domain names for a budding entrepreneur who wants to start a music related business in Atlanta.

AtlantaMusicHost.com and AtlantaMusicHosting.com have been registered to me since 2004. I launched these websites as part of a planned shoutcast-based service that was to be a product line extension to the web hosting business I used to own.

I sold the web hosting business in 2005, but kept these domains.

Both domain names are registered with Dotster.

UPDATED TO ADD: Asking price is $100 for both domains.

PayPal may be used to complete the transaction.

Startup Professionals Musings: Startups: Top 10 Funding Sources

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Martin Zwilling posted a summary of the Top 10 Funding Sources for startup companies.

I personally funded my current company with the proceeds of the sale of a previous business and lots and lots of sweat equity.

While Mr. Zwilling mentions bartering services for equity, it is also quite possible to barter services for a profit sharing arrangement with the people who help with a particular project. This way the company equity remains with the founders and yet those who take the risk to invest in one or more projects can be rewarded for their time investment once that project takes off in the marketplace. It is also vital to never underestimate the importance of choosing the right co-founders and early-stage advisers! A good financial advisor, for instance, may just agree to provide free advice on business structure and tax consequences with the understanding that you will first come to his firm once a payroll is established.

Overall, this is good stuff folks. Check it out!

Randomized Field Names in a Product!? Say no to CAPTCHA images!

Friday, January 16, 2009

It's now been almost two years since I gave a presentation on the benefits of using randomized field names over CAPTCHA images to reduce the web form spam problem while not burdening prospective customers. Starting next week, the successor to the Security-Enhanced Contact Form will be released as Contacts to Mobile.

Contacts to Mobile is a spam-resistant contact form for your business website that makes it easy to rapidly respond to customer communications, even while you are on the road. It collects their message, generates a vCard, and can e-mail that information directly to your Apple iPhone, RIM Blackberry, or other mobile device.

Next week, Contacts to Mobile will be featured on Bits du Jour, a 'deal-of-the-day' website that offers fantastic, one-time discounts on a variety of great products. Bits du Jour will be offering Contacts to Mobile on Wednesday 21 January, 2009 at the dramatically reduced price of $39.95. The normal purchase price for Contacts to Mobile is $89.95!

I am excited to see this product finally launched. My team is working hard over the weekend to put the finishing touches on the example code and website. I firmly believe that we can help make web contact forms and database entry forms more secure on many websites.

Tired of Contact Form Spam?

Friday, January 25, 2008

Many of my customers have been receiving an increasing amount of spam through their website contact forms. The spammers fill in fake names, email addresses, phone numbers, and a junk message with lots of links. To counter these spammers, one must make the web-form difficult for a spambot to fill out and yet keep it usable for valued human guests. CAPTCHAS are used in a lot of places online, but randomized field names are preferable because no strain is put on a human guest.

I presented a paper, called Spam and the Ongoing Battle for Safe Communications, on randomized field names at last year's Software Industry Conference.

Those interested in my help setting up a hardened web form on a business website can contact me.  My standard rate is $95/hour.
