comment Subdomains regarding name servers/domains
Sorry, but if you're going to throw around terms like RTFM please link to a manual for people to read. On top of that, searching for your term "hosts in domain" didn't bring me back anything particularly useful compared with the more industry standard "subdomain" which brings back useful results about configuring both your web- and name-servers.

comment Implications of syndicating content to a company blog from a personal blog
@toomanyairmiles - While I agree that there should probably be a written agreement in place, note that what Kurt's suggesting is the other way around - they already publish content on their personal blogs, and want to cross-post it on the company's site.

comment How can I hide my domain name or ip from users
@RenInfoTech What I meant was that if you don't want the user to see your domain/server details, you shouldn't be using any "browser" sort of control, and without knowing how you've implemented it it's hard to say - but if you're using the WebBrowser class, there's no simple way to disable the default save dialog. You would need to rebuild that part of your application to not use the WebBrowser class - hence me suggesting a webservice to send your app details of available downloads.

comment Looking for a CMS for specific requirements (Javascript, import/export…)
Just a note on the JavaScript requirement - as Tim K points out, swapping out the body content of the page is not something these systems typically do, primarily because almost all spiders can't handle or index scripted content - so even if you're adding quality keywords to your pages, if the content is added by JS, the spiders aren't going to index it, and the keywords won't count for anything.

comment Are there any good reasons to HTML5 for SEO at the moment?
I meant if you had <h1>Some Term</h1> but your page content didn't really talk about that term, you wouldn't rank well for that term

comment domain expiration during transfer
Also, many registrars will not allow you to initiate a domain transfer if it's close to expiring - they will require that you add an extra year before you transfer out to ensure that it doesn't expire during the process, this is because for some domains the current registrar needs to say "this domain can be moved" and then the second registrar has up to a month to say "yes, hand it over".

comment Are there any good reasons to HTML5 for SEO at the moment?
It means how related the content of the page is to the user's search terms - if the content of your site isn't all that relevant or the links in aren't relevant, then you won't rank well regardless of what mark up you're using. So for example if you have some keyword in a heading element, but the rest of the page content talks about something else.
