Why?

March 7th, 2009

I can hear people asking that question about this blog. Why, would anyone bother setting up a site for someone else ?

The short answer: Because I can

The long answer is here

I LOVE great service,  I believe service is the ONLY thing that counts.

We try and provide the excellent service our customers expect. To do this, we need to partner with exceptional companies.

Blacknight ticks all the boxes and this is my way of saying; “Thank you!”

Spread the word…….I Love Blacknight


Blacknight ICANN accredited

March 13th, 2009

Blacknight has been awarded ICANN accreditation.  This means they have a direct link to ICANN and that can only be a good thing of us, the customer.

Their blog has all the info.

Well done BK.


IIA NetVisionary awards

March 10th, 2009

Nominations for the IIANTW ( yes..YAA :-)) are now open here.

I’m sure no one is under any illusions as to whom we will be voting for.

Blacknight…..that’s right!

As they’re such a great Company, they have already won loads of awards so, please read this tiny bit of text as a guide to how to vote them in this year.

If this blog hasn’t convinced you yet, take a look at their services,  give them a try and you won’t be disappointed*.

*I’m sure I have to have some sort of legal disclaimer here. Something like, you may be dissapointed if you have expectations that exceed the suplpied service level. Any lawyers around ??


Registering domain names

March 7th, 2009

For a while I’ve been thinking that I was somehow off my head.

I have some weird inclination to register domain names atthe drop of a hat.

It seems I’m not the only one….

What has this got to do with Blacknight ?

Well 2 things really.  I use them to register the domains and this man seems to be aflicted with the same illness.


See what I mean ?

March 7th, 2009

So it’s 10pm on a Sat night and I noticed this post on Blacknights Twitter account / wesbite.

Ok, so I may be sad for noticing this at this hour but that’s just another exmple of their commitment to customers service.

I don’t think Paul Kelly ever sleeps……………


Exchange of ideas

March 7th, 2009

One of Blacknight’s latest offering is Hosted Exchange 2007.  When I heard about this via the grapevine I breathed a huge sigh of relief.  “Why?”  you may ask.  I’ll tell you why then :-)

We like to develop applications for our clients.  We do not market ourselves as hosting providers and we prefer the specialists to get on with providing e-mail and other services.

So, now our clients have access to a robust, scalable product + the support levels to match and we get to spend our time doing what we love to do best. Developing.

So, the client is :-) , we are :-) and BK are :-)

I love Blacknight………


the other why..

March 7th, 2009

While this blog is purely for my own satisfaction,  I’m always interested to know what other peple’s opinions are and whether they agree with me or believe I’m just talking s***.

This is the other reason for this blog.

So, it’s open to comments, suggestions and general rant and raving.

It still remains my blog so I will not be publishing any obvious spam and comments that are just made to be nasty  and have no relevant information attached.

Everything else goes.

While I imgine there may be some negative feedback about both  blog and Blacknight I’m pretty open to suggestions and constructive criticism and I’m pretty sure BK are too.
