Everything About ZaxHosting

You are in the right place, if you want to learn more about the company, ZaxHosting.

We did not know why we wanted to write about this but I guess you can say that we are a curious bunch of people.

In this article, you will learn all about the domain registrar from their history to the overall features that they provide to users.

To help you through the article, we have created a table of content for you to jump straight to the section that interests you the most.

Introduction

ZaxHosting.com is one of the leading ICANN-accredited domain name registrar and web hosting company. Basically, that simply means that you can purchase your domain name and web hosting service from them.

Personally, I had purchased more than 7 domains from ZaxHosting but had not used their web hosting service so I shall only comment on their domain registrar service.

I really like their customer support!

In fact, I can say that they are one of the best when it comes to customer service. Want to know about my experience? Check out my full in-depth review of ZaxHosting.

The last I checked, the company claims that they have about 2 million customers and more than 5 million domains under their management.

Mission

The following is ZaxHosting’s mission, and I quote:

ZaxHosting's Mission

We work hard to provide unparalleled levels of service, security and support. We strive to offer intuitive products at the most competitive prices in the business. We never bombard our clients with unwanted upsells or in-your-face advertising. Our goal is to be honest, straightforward, friendly and helpful. And that’s all.

ZaxHosting sits right at the doorstep of the web, so we know how important a domain name can be for your business. Our support staffers are some of the smartest, nicest people in the industry. In fact, every member of the ZaxHosting staff is skilled, well-trained and ready to help. We want you – our customers – to feel like rockstars and royalty, because that’s what you are, as far as we’re concerned. Making customers happy is our top priority. Thank you for being part of our journey.

As a customer of ZaxHosting for many years, I can say that they have followed their mission closely.

In fact, I do not get any up-sells promotion from them since day one and I remembered troubling them on more than one occasion; that happens when you are a greenhorn.

I still can remember once having issues with my initial hosting account with problems surfacing in my website. Naturally, I went to the customer support of the hosting service but it was the wrong move; the customer support was slow, ineffective and asked me to get help from my domain registrar! Read more about my bad experience in this hosting review.

At that point, I had no choice but to head to ZaxHosting customer support to request for aid, and the first response that I got from them was, “this issue is with your hosting, only they can help you.”

But I responded, “they asked me to come over to seek help, so do you think you can help me?” Guess what…

They decided to support me even though it was not their issue and we managed to solve it.

So yeah, in my opinion, they have done a good job upholding their mission.

Causes

ZaxHosting maintains a strong anti position against the Stop Online Piracy Act (in short SOPA) because they felt that it is a threat to their customers.

But what exactly is the SOPA?

Well, it is a Act that combats online copyright infringement and online trafficking in counterfeit goods. In short, the Act proposed that owners of intellectual property block or disable any website that they felt infringed on their intellectual property.

The good news is the SOPA is currently shelved and won’t return until a consensus is met.

You may be wondering now, what does ZaxHosting do about the Act?

In view of the Act, the company launched their first ever, ” Move Your Domain Day” on December 29, 2011 as a call-to-action for those who opposed SOPA and wanted to leave service providers who supported SOPA and other such ill-conceived legislation.

Since 2011, the corporation has donated more than $390,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a donor-supported membership organization that works to protect fundamental rights regardless of technology and to educate the public about digital rights.

In conclusion, ZaxHosting is a company that supports internet freedom!

Guarantee

When you look at the company, you will noticed that it has two guarantees, the first being the guarantee to the customer and the second being their hosting guarantee.

In this section, we will zoom in on the two guarantees that ZaxHosting promotes.

Overall Guarantee

ZaxHosting’s overall guarantee is that they will centralise their products and services around us, the customer; there will be excellent support and high quality products and services.

They also guarantees that our privacy is protected and our personal information is treated in a careful and reasonable way.

One last claim is that their customer support will respond within 24 hours, seven days in a week.

Not too shabby yeah.

The overall guarantee also applies to hosting customers.

Hosting Guarantee

As for ZaxHosting’s hosting, they guarantee that the server is up and running 99.9% of the time, not to mention, they will ensure the security of our websites by constantly scanning and testing their defence system.

Overall Products & Services

Phew… you made it to the most interesting section! Let’s take a look at all the different products and services provided by ZaxHosting.

Domain Registrar

ZaxHosting allows you to purchase your domain name through their registrar. With your domain name, you can brand yourself and start promoting your website.

I want to highlight an important point right now; when you purchase a new domain name, you will only own that name along with the extension that you purchased.

https://wealthdean.com/wp-content/uploads/website-compass-768x512.jpg

What do I mean?

For instance, if you purchased the name, “fightandgrowrich.com”, you will own the name “fightandgrowrich” as well as the extension, .com that goes with it.

However, when someone else purchased, “fightandgrowrich.org”, that will become his domain to keep.

Sometimes, bigger companies will purchase all the different top level domains extensions so that no one else can mislead their customers.

Modes Of Purchase

Say you are ready and excited to make your domain purchase, how do you go about it?

Either you purchased a brand new domain that no one owns or you can buy an existing domain name that belongs to someone.

Normally, I will suggest going for a new domain but if you find a name that you really want and it is sold, you can contact the owner and negotiate a price. Check out this article to learn how you can buy an existing domain owned by another individual.

Shared hosting is the most basic form of hosting that you can obtain.

ZaxHosting provides 3 tier of shared hosting for you to choose from, namely the stellar, stellar plus and the stellar business plan.

They also provide 50 free positive SSL certificates for their share hosting clients for up to a year.

In general, you can run host your own website while your clients can create their own accounts but they will be still using your hosting.

There are 3 different plans offered: Nebula, Galaxy Expert and Universe Pro with two data centers for you to choose from, namely the US data center or the UK data center.

As for the contract term, you can start with a period of as little as one month to two year.

Do note that the price differs by your choice of data center, plan and term.

Optional Addons & Services For Hosting

Email Hosting: ZaxHosting also provides private email hosting services. Like the other services, there are 3 plans to choose from: private, business and business office.

The service term runs for either 1 year or 2 years. Did I mention that they have a 2 month free tier for this?

Migration To ZaxHosting: If you decide to migrate from another hosting service to ZaxHosting, they will help you move your data smoothly.

Their guarantee is to move everything within 24hours with not more than 15 minutes downtime.

In the event, they failed to uphold the guarantee, ZaxHosting will credit your account with the value of your first purchase of shared hosting with the company.

Conclusion

Personally, I use ZaxHosting.com as a domain registrar and I love their customer support.

As for their hosting services, I might consider them in the future if my current hosting gives me problems.

Now it is your turn!

Top 22 Tips and Tricks for Super Mario Run

super mario run tips and tricks featured 2

Save

Super Mario is finally available on the iPhone and iPad. And you know what that means – you’ll finally be able to relive the glorious days of yore, right on your iPhone. And let me tell you this right off the bat – Super Mario Run is a really fun game.

Download: Super Mario Run IOS

World Tour

1. Right Jump at the Right Time

Leave it to Nintendo to make a game you can only play with one finger complex and interesting. While all you can do is tap on the screen to jump, the sheer number of different ways you can that means there are lots of different moves for you.

Tapping and holding leads to a higher jump. Tapping and holding and tapping again makes you spin. Tapping and holding and swiping to the left takes you back a bit.

It’s important that you use the right jump at the right time. It’s good to anticipate your next move. But don’t worry if you can’t get everything at the first try. It’s clear that Super Mario Run is designed to be payed again and again. And that’s the only way you’ll be able to score all the important coins at each level.

2. Do a Wall Reverse Jump

This is a really cool way to try and get coins you just missed. When you jump, try to collide with a wall or a brick head on. This will make Mario jump in the other direction. Perfect way to collect coins that are above or behind you.

3. Hit Multiple Blocks At The Same Time

If you time your jump just right, you’ll be able to hit right at the center of two block, giving you two power-ups instead of just one.

4. Play Again and Again To Cover All Grounds

Every level has different ways you can go about. Every level has different levels, if you will. To collect all coins, you should play the same level multiple times, making sure to take different paths all the time (remember which arrows you follow).

5. Always Find The Challenge Coins

The challenge coins – the ones in pink at the beginning are the extra special coins. They’ll get you more points. And getting these exclusive coins is how you’ll be able to boast about just how good you are at this game. Once the 5 pink coins are captured, they’ll be replaced by purple coins the next time. And then black the time after that.

6. Go Where The Arrows Point You

Whenever you come across an arrow, follow it. It will lead you to great things. An explosion of coins, a hidden pink coin and more.

7. Grab The Flag With a Mid Air Spin

As you might know, jumping to the very top of the pole and grabbing the flag isn’t easy. When you jump off, make sure it’s a long jump by tapping and holding the screen. At the end, tap on the screen to spin in the air – this means you’ll keep at the same level while moving forward instead of dropping down – increasing the chances of grabbing the flag.

8. Pause In The Air and Go Back

I discovered this accidentally but this can be a really useful move when deployed at the right moment. Tap and hold the screen to perform a high jump and then swipe left. This will hold you in the mid air and will actually throw you back a bit.

9. Use The Pause Brick Wisely

When you land on the red brick with the pause button on it, the game stops moving. This is a great moment to take stock of what’s going on and the decision you need to make going forward.

10. Use The Bubbles To Your Advantage

When you die, you’ll usually be resurrected thanks to the bubble power-up. It will take you back a few moments. Tap the bubble to release yourself at the right time and use this chance to perform better at the next try.

11. Beat The Boss By Finding Their Weakness

You’ll be fighting a boss every 3 levels. The way to beat them is to find their weakness. Also look at the environment around them and use that against them. To beat Bower for instance, you’ll need to drop the axe on the bridge when he’s on it.

12. Always Power Up Before Going Into Battle

Before you go in to fight a boss, make sure you’re all powered up. Because while fighting you’re going to lose your energy with each blow.

My Nintendo

13. Sign Up For A Nintendo Account

During sign up, you’ll be asked to create a Nintendo account. As you’re excited about this game, your natural instinct might be to just skip it and start playing the game. But don’t. Take the couple of minutes to create an account – it’s easy, you can connect via Google, Twitter and Facebook. If you skipped it, go to settings to created and link the Nintendo account.

The Nintendo account gives you access to exclusive in game content, toad rally tickets, and much more.

14. Unlock Toad

Signing into a Nintendo account is also the only way to easily unlock the Toad character. From the kingdom screen, tap on the “My Nintendo” button, select the “Redeem” button under Toad’s picture.

Then go back to the Kingdom screen and tap on the Gift box. This is where you’ll be able to redeem the character.

15. Collect Points

Right next to the “Rewards” tab in “My Nintendo” section is “Missions“. This is where you’ll be able to collect Nintendo Points for doing missions. Things like playing Toad Rally 3 times a day and more. When the button is red, tap on “Collect Points“.

16. Redeem Rewards

The rewards section has a lot of stuff other than Toad. You can use the points you earned above to redeem for some cool stuff – like 1000 coins in Super Mario Run and more.

Toad Rally

17. Be Aware Of Which Toads You’re Playing For

In Toad Rally mode, you play to win over toads so they’ll join the kingdom. When you start, you’ll see 5 different opponents with 5 different colors. You’ll need all the kinds of toads to rebuild the kingdom. So don’t keep playing the same color over and over again.

18. Don’t Punch Above Your Weight

If you use a Toad Rally, you’ll actually lose toads from your kingdom. So pick and choose who you compete against.

19. Keep Jumping

It’s really important that you be as flamboyant as possible while collecting coins in the Toad Rally mode. And the best way to do that is to jump. Do all sorts of different jumps – all the combinations. But make sure you’re collecting coins while doing that.

Kingdom Builder

20. Build Houses To Unlock Other Characters

When you’re starting out, focus on building houses, not on decorations. That’s the only way you’ll be able to unlock 3 really fun characters – Luigi, Yoshi and Toadette.

21. Check Back For Bonus Game

The first house that was “on the house” is a bonus game. You’ll be able to play this once every 8 hours. So check back here at least a day to play it and earn more coins.

General

22. Conserve Battery

Tap the “Menu” button and select “Settings“. Then tap on “Options“. From here set “Rendering Settings” and “Graphics Settings” to Low. This will help you conserve the battery while you keep playing Super Mario Run.
