For some people, their first instinct is wrong: do not log out, because this might be the last time you have access to your account if the hackers changed your password. Here’s a short list of things to do as soon as you can.

For a while we were struggling with a simple way of conveying how the free email forwarding service that we set up with our “teeny‑tiny™ website & email setup package” doesn’t really need to change the way you read and send email, but there are benefits if and when you’re willing to make a few changes. Let us know if you see some way that we can express this even more easily:
“Keep your mailbox, but get a permanent email address”

A friend of ours recently suffered a break-in of his Yahoo! email account and spammers started sending spam from it to everyone in his address book. Fortunately for him, we were able to help him recover the account without too much grief.
But it raised the issue of the risk of investing too much in an email address that you don’t own and that you might lose access to. Lucky for our friend he was able to guess his password (he changed it immediately) and Yahoo! otherwise didn’t lock him out, but Yahoo! could have, for whatever reason they chose. Why? Because Yahoo! owns the domain name YAHOO.COM and any and all email addresses there.
If your email address ends with @gmail.com, then Google owns it. Similarly for @msn.com, @hotmail.com,@live.com, and @aol.com, which are owned by Microsoft and AOL.
This is one reason we created teeny‑tiny™ websites. For only $29.95 for the first year and less than $1/month afterward, not only will you own your own domain name but you’ll get email addressed to it and you’ll get a free website under that domain name. A domain name is registered in your name and, provided you pay the small annual registration fee (currently less than $12/year), no one can take your domain name or email address (or website address) from you.
Order your own teeny‑tiny™ website today, or offer one as a gift to a friend:

And that includes a one-year registration on a new domain name! (Offer expires June 15.)]]><![CDATA[Congrats, grads!]]>Fri, 04 Jun 2010 02:00:00 -0600http://onestepupfrom.teenytinywebsites.com/1/post/2010/06/congrats-grads.htmlWe just created a teeny‑tiny™ website as a high school graduation gift. Not only is it easier for the new grad to tell others her email address, but Yahoo! no longer owns her email address!]]><![CDATA[A cause we care about]]>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:33:41 -0600http://onestepupfrom.teenytinywebsites.com/1/post/2010/01/a-cause-we-care-about.htmlHere’s an urgent-need site we put up in one hour to help a cause we care strongly about. Within minutes, it was already growing its Facebook fan base and Twitter following.

No more “parking”!]]>Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:53:39 -0600http://onestepupfrom.teenytinywebsites.com/1/post/2010/01/now-only-20-no-more-parking.htmlWe’ve learned that we have more prospective customers who already have their own domain name or would rather purchase it separately from Go Daddy, so we’ve changed our offering to only the $20 one-time setup fee.
  As you register your domain name at Go Daddy (most are less than $11), note all their offerings of add-ons that you won’t need, because they’ll be provided for free with your teeny‑tiny™ website!

Small volunteer organizations are like microbusinesses and can also benefit from teeny‑tiny™ websites. This high school alumni website was created within 24 hours after becoming a teeny‑tiny website and within hours after that, it was already helping alumni to connect. How much does the organization need to budget for Internet website and email service charges?
…Zero. Zip. Nada.
Roar! :-)

We measure our search engine optimization (SEO) progress in several ways, but apparently thanks to our Twitter account, we’ve already achieved the first teeny‑tiny goal: to be near the top when someone does a quoted Google search on our name. The results are dynamic and can change at any moment, but after only slightly more than one day on the web, you can bet that we’re a teeny‑tiny bit happy about this right now.

As if you hadn’t guessed. We like it so much that we added a link to it on our menu.
