These type of domains spells out a word by using a combination of periods and less popular country-based  extensions.

Domain hacks offer the ability to product very short domain names.

Examples:

• del.icio.us
• blo.gs
• love.me
• schokola.de
• autom.at
• ma.rs
• bike.rs
• you.rs

How you can find a good domain name hack

First -  you need to get a list of all the extensions that are possible with a domain name.

Then you need to find a domain name company that can provide you with the extesion your are looking for.

An Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) is a domain name that may contain characters outside the ASCII character set.
The IDN system allows Internet users to use the full alphabet of their language in their domain names. They’re no longer restricted to the English A-Z, and can use the full latin character set, as well as characters from other locales, including Chinese and Japanese.

IDN Domains work by encoding the domain name using a system called Punycode (see RFC 3492).

To register a  IDN, go to www.irist.com/idn/

Here is a small script that reads all *.txt  or all *.html, all *.php  files and delete all lines between word1 and word2:

#!/bin/bash
FILES="*.php"
for f in $FILES
do
INF="$f"
OUTF="$f.out.tmp"
# replace
sed '/word1/,/word2>/d' $INF > $OUTF
/bin/cp $OUTF $INF
/bin/rm -f $OUTF
done

Then save this file as “myscript.txt”

run this script with: # bash myscript.txt

It’s always a must for /var/log/messages to fill screens with tons of error messages, no matter what happened. But, when it’s about a disk crash, huge lots of kernel errors are reported. Some nasty examples, for the masochists,

   kernel: scsi0 channel 0 : resetting for second half of retries.
   kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
   kernel: scsi0: Sending Bus Device Reset CCB #2666 to Target 0
   kernel: scsi0: Bus Device Reset CCB #2666 to Target 0 Completed
   kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 2649, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Write (6) 18 33 11 24 00
   kernel: scsi0: Aborting CCB #2669 to Target 0
   kernel: SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 2644) timed out - trying harder
   kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
   kernel: scsi0: CCB #2669 to Target 0 Aborted
   kernel: scsi0: Resetting BusLogic BT-958 due to Target 0
   kernel: scsi0: *** BusLogic BT-958 Initialized Successfully ***

Most often, disk failures look like these,

   kernel: sidisk I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 1590410
   kernel: SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 28000002

or these

   kernel: hde: read_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, CHS=31563/14/35, sector=0
   kernel: hde: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

And, as expected, the classic /proc/mdstat look will also reveal problems,

   Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [translucent]
   read_ahead not set
   md7 : active raid1 sdc9[0] sdd5[8] 32000 blocks [2/1] [U_]

Later on this section we will learn how to monitor RAID with mdadm so we can receive alert reports about disk failures. Now it’s time to learn more about /proc/mdstat interpretation.

redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ http://www.site.net
redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.site.net

You can also use one of these in your .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /index.php http://www.site.net/index.php
redirect permanent /index.php http://www.site.net/index.php
redirectpermanent /index.php http://www.site.net/index.php

If you need to redirect http://site.net to http://www.site.net and you’ve got mod_rewrite enabled on
your server you can put this in your .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site\.net
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.net/$1 [R=permanent,L]
