Links and useful things
Here are a small subset of the sites I frequent and the products I find useful.
Hosting
DynDNS
Not just providers of Dynamic DNS services, but DNS hosting, domain registrations, mail relay services and much more. Worth every penny they charge.
Google Apps
Good platform for your own domain for managing email, calendars and more. With a little work you can even host web sites with
Google App Engine
CheapVPS
Proof that sometimes you get more than you pay for. The service is excellent, the prices are reasonable.
OpenDNS
Provides DNS query services, but allows you to block groups of domains in a simple manner. Not without it's problems, but for free it's worth looking at.
Useful
Down for everyone or just me?
Good way of testing whether a site is down or if it's your link.
Web Hosting Talk forums
A useful source of information on hosting providers, and a source of answers to technical problems.
intoDNS
A useful site for checking that your DNS is correctly set up.
Squishywishywoo
For finding out more about your DNS than you ever thought you could.
MX Toolbox
Another useful site, this one for checking MX records and your mail server.
GMail
If you can ignore the (unintrusive) adverts, it's probably the best free webmail provider out there.
Entertaining
Schlock Mercenary
The comic space opera by Howard Tayler
Girl Genius
Mad Science!
