I am not a creative person at all. My brain just goes plain blank every time when I need to think of something nice and full of imagination. That's why when I decided to register a domain for myself I couldn't think of anything but my name, initials, and computers. However, at least the name I finally picked, KJCTech.net, doesn't fall into the worse name everyone needs to avoid category.
This Top 10 Worst Domain Names and 20 More Unfortunate Domain Names are absolutely a no-no. Take close look at these awful names so next time when we are doing brain storm for the new domain name make sure the name we pick doesn't follow their steps.
Manufacturer of instruments for monitoring temperature, humidity and pressure Dickson didn’t think twice when they choose: www.DicksOnWeb.com
A company selling CAD software and Learning CDs was called ViaGrafix - quite innocent until a blue pill hit the market. The company is now called Learn2 but was www.ViagraFix.com
The small town Winters’ local newspaper is called Winters Express and can be read online at: www.WinterSexExpress.com
An eBay competitor was considering the name Auctions Hit, but found it to be a shitty name: www.AuctionShit.com
And the worst of the worst is Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.ExpertSexChange.com. This site always comes in the no. 1 from Google but I never noticed they are actually expert on that.
ELMAH, the Error Logging Modules and Handlers, is a error logging system that I used on every website I made to capture every exceptional error page. It's very easy to plug into your web application, just throw in the DLL file into the bin folder and put a few lines of code in web.config file, and works like charm. It's extremely vital when launching the new website but also very useful and handy to have on the go.
However, it becomes not so useful when HackerSafe, an online service that tells people the site with its seal on it is bullet safe, joins in. Because HackerSafe needs to scan your site and do a series of automated security tests every day, it sure generates tons of errors from the website. If the ELMAH logs the error in database, the errors HackerSafe generate eat database space like crazy. Worse, if your database has the quote assigned, it will be shutdown pretty quick and the website that rely on this database will be down the same time too. And more, if you set up to receive the notification when every error is generated, your email box soon will be full and stopped working pretty soon too. It's absolutely nightmare.
And yes, I just had been through this nightmare not so long ago. Because HackerSafe has more value to have on the site at the moment, I have to say good-bye to ELMAH for the time being until I figure it out a way to accommodate these two the same time.
