Site reliability engineering aims to keep servers and services running with zero downtime. However, outages and incidents are inevitable, especially when dealing with a complex system that constantly gets new updates. Every company has a relatively similar process to manage incidents, mitigate risks, and analyze root causes. This can be considered an opportunity to identify issues and prevent them from happening, but not every company is successful at making it a constructive process.

When Not To Use a Graph Database

Featured Imgs 23

The use of graph databases has grown massively in recent years, and they are becoming promising solutions for organizations in any industry. Their increased flexibility makes it easier to leverage relationships and connections in a way that traditional relational databases can't do. But how do you know when to use a graph database? In this article, we explore what to consider if you’re thinking of using a graph database and show how the best approach may be to not use one at all.

What Is a Graph Database?

A graph database is a type of database that uses graph theory as the foundation for its data model. Graph databases consider connectedness as a first-class citizen, making them better suited to represent connected data than more old-school relational databases.

What Are SpeedUp and ScaleUp in DBMS?

Featured Imgs 23

In this article, we will discuss all the SpeedUp and ScaleUp in DBMS, two of the fundamental concepts from Parallel Processing for Databases that are used for tweaking databases.

Speedup

Data warehouses carrying several hundred gigabytes of data are now relatively typical due to the steady increase in database sizes. Even several terabytes of data can be stored in some databases, referred to as Very Large Databases (VLDBs). 

What Is CORS?

Featured Imgs 23

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that supports secure requests and data transfers from outside origins (domain, scheme, or port).

For example, example.com uses a text font that's hosted on fonts.com. When visiting, the user's browser will make a request for the font from fonts.com. Because fonts.com and example.com are two different origins, this is a cross-origin request. If fonts.com allows cross-origin resource sharing to example.com, then the browser will proceed with loading the font. Otherwise, the browser will cancel the request.

Register New Domains With One-Click Setup and Integration on WPMU DEV

Featured Imgs 13

Register, manage, and connect unlimited affordable domains directly from WPMU DEV – making creating websites for you and your clients easier than ever!

Domain registration is all done right from WPMU DEV’s Hub. It just takes a few clicks, with unlimited options for picking top-level domains.

As you’ll see, domain management has been streamlined for web developers on our Agency Plan. Especially when managing domains for multiple clients.

In this article, we cover everything you need to know about using domains with WPMU DEV, including:

If you’re a member, you can get started here. Not a member yet? Get started with a trial of our Agency plan today!

Now that you’re ready to go let’s…

Register a New Domain

Registering a New Domain is quick and simple. Whatever domain you’re looking for, we have 120+ extensions — whether it be .com, .org, .shop — you name it! They’re all affordable. (And P.S. — We’ll be adding another 100-150 TLDs VERY soon.)

It’s also important to note that domains are for Agency Plan members ONLY. We can only offer this kind of service at wholesale pricing by making it exclusive (just as we did with Quantum hosting).

We provide domains purely at cost (purchase and renewal), with no margin for us (except to cover transaction fees) so that you can resell them to your clients with your own markup and save money on your existing provider.

The costs for new domains.
Every domain type has a different cost. You can also request a domain extension if you have another extension in mind!

So, now that you know the gist of our domains, here’s…

Where to Begin

Registering a new domain starts from the Domains tab and Register New Domain. Just type the domain name you want to use.

Where you register a new domain.
Whatever domain suits your needs, type it in.

Once you type in the domain name you prefer, a list of options will appear with various prices.

In this example, I’d like to register the name ‘awesomewebguy.’ As you can see, many top-level domain options appeared (e.g. .org, .net, .online, etc.) under Matches.

A list of available domains.
The prices vary for all domains.

Want to see other options? Click Load More, and you’ll get others.

The load more button.
There are plenty of options to choose from.

WPMU DEV domains also have Suggestions for a new domain based on your search criteria.

Suggested domains.
More options that may be suitable for a domain.

Once you have a domain name, click Buy Now. And that’s it!

You’ll be directed to a registration page. From this page, you pick out the Registration Terms. This includes the Registration Period, Renewal Price, and Auto-Renew.

To start, select a Registration Period. This can be anywhere from one to ten years!

Choose between 1-10 years in a click.

Also, determine whether you’d like to auto-renew or not (you can always change this later – as you’ll see).

Activate renew.
Auto-renew is a hands-off approach to ensure your domain stays active.

Next, enter the Registrant information. This is information about you as the domain owner. None of this information is publicly shared or on WHOIS.

Registrant information.
Click the box to save as your default registrant information.

Once your domain is successfully registered, you can automatically add DNS records by clicking connect to a hosted site. If you don’t want to connect your domain to a hosted site – no biggie. Click Skip for Now.

Sign of a successful registration.
The registration was successful!

That being said, let’s say you want to connect domain to a hosted site. Here’s how it’s done…

Add Domain to Hosted Site

Adding a domain to a hosted site with WPMU DEV doesn’t take much at all to set up.

You can do this while creating your domain or after the domain is verified and completed. Just select from the dropdown what site you would like the domain to be hosted on.

Add domain to hosted site.
All of your hosted domains will appear here.

Add your domain to a hosted site at any time. From the Domains tab, you’ll see by your site a Link Icon.

The link icon.
Click on the link icon, and then Connect to a Hosted Site. It will bring up a dropdown (just like the image above) where you select the site to host from.

Just click Connect to a Hosted Site, and select from the dropdown what site you’d like to use.

Add domain to a hosted site.
Select any site you want to add your domain to!

Click Save, and you’ll see your domain’s DNS status. It may take a little while to complete. You can recheck your status by tapping Settings (the ellipsis).

DNS status.
It will take just a little while to get the DNS and SSL status completed.

Below this area, you’ll also see the DNS information for the site you’re using with your domain. It includes the CNAME Record, A Record, and AAAA Record.

Note: if you use the Connect Domain feature, you don’t have to manually add any DNS record.

DNS records.
All the information is clearly displayed for quick reference.

View Your Registered Domains

Once you register a new domain, it will be located under Registered Domains. If you view it soon after registering a domain, you’ll see that its Registrant Status maybe be ‘verifying.’

Domain status.
The domain name, status, registrant, registrant status, and expiration date are displayed.

A message will appear indicating that as well.

Time verification.
Times vary, depending on several factors.

So, how do you go about verifying the registrant status?

Confirm Your Registrant Information

Once you register your domain, you’ll receive an email. This is to ensure that you are who you say you are regarding your domain ownership and to complete your registration.

Whatever email address you include in your Registrant Information is where this email will be sent. Once opened, this is what it says:

The verification email.
Your particular domain will be displayed in the body of the email.

It contains two links: one is to review ICANN’s Policy, and the other is to continue on with verification.

Where you verify your info.
Once you verify your information — you’re all set!

When verified, you’ll get notified immediately.

Confirmation of verificaiton.
Once your contact info is verified, you’ll be notified.

Please keep in mind that if you don’t verify within 15 days, the domain will be suspended until you verify it. So, make sure to complete this important step.

Domain Management in The Hub

All of your domains are in one place in The Hub under Domains. This is your one-stop area where you can new, update, manage, and more.

The active domains.
Every domain you have will be shown here, whether it be one or thousands of domains.

By clicking on the ellipsis by individual domains, you instantly have access to key features, such as:

  • Manage Domain
  • Renew Domain
  • Update Contact Information
  • Update Nameservers

The ellipsis.
Want to manage a domain? It’s quickly and easily accessible.

To make it easier for you and your clients, you can activate Auto Renew in one click.
