One of the features of the TypePad “Pro” level that I’ve been looking forward to is domain mapping — the ability to assign a domain name I own with my TypePad weblog. Last night I noticed that domain mapping beta testing was in progress, so I sent a note to let them know that I was interested. Lo and behold, I got my response this morning, made a few clicks to my domain configurations…

…and it worked! Eclecticism is now residing at www.michaelhanscom.com! Even better, the old address of djwudi.typepad.com will still work as a backup, so any links out there pointing my way will still work, without any issues whatsoever.

So, feel free to update your bookmarks to point to www.michaelhanscom.com (or don’t, whatever suits your fancy). I know I’ve been bouncing everyone around in the past few months — from djwudi.com’s ‘The Long Letter’ to djwudi.typepad.com and now to michaelhanscom.com — but this should be the last move for the foreseeable future.

What of djwudi.com, then? Well, I’ll likely leave my DJ Wüdi propaganda over there, as well as having it available for whatever other little projects I want to play with when I’m in the mood to geek out, so it won’t be disappearing. Just in case you were worried. ;)

  3. I’ve been using Micromax Information Services for my domain registration. No idea how their prices compare now, but at the time I found them, they were on the lower end of the scale. At the moment, they start at $9.95/year, with discounts as you purchase for multiple years in a block…I’ve been picking my domains up in 5-year blocks for $8.95/year, or $44.75/5 years. Not bad, and certainly within my budget.

    For DNS services, I’m using ZoneEdit. It looks like MicroMax may handle all the DNS intricacies now, but I don’t think they did when I started using my own domains, so I found ZoneEdit. They’re completely free if you have 5 domains or fewer, and seem to work quite well. The transfer of information this morning to TypePad’s servers was instantaneous — all I had to wait for was for TypePad to make the configuration changes in their server.

    Those are the only pointers I can give, but they’ve served me well over the past few years.
