How to transfer a Domain name from old Registrar to New Registrar

3:17 PM dpk No comments

Again new topic...

But very important topic for all who has domain name and willing to buy a domain name. 
Personally I got some problems with these domain name transfers. 

Varies registrars and service providers act in different ways. 

Lest see, how to transfer a domain name. 

There are some requirements need to meet before transfer a domain name. 

The EPP code requires only for the below domain names. 
com / net / org / info / biz

You can get EPP code from current registrar with requesting EPP code. (If you have Domain control panel, you can see a button called Get EPP Code)
This EPP code is mandatory when you are transferring a domain and it's act like a Password.

Just go to your New registrar and fill the form to transfer domain and enter the EPP code in correct place. 

Then unlock the domain name from old registrar to start process the domain transfer. 
You can unlock the domain name by logging into the domain control panel. And find the Registrar Lock option and unlock it from there.

Now it will come to a important place. Now the old administrative email of the domain name will be receive an email to approve the transferring the domain name. In here you need to access the administrative email or ask for the old registrar to do the approval

That's all. Your domain will be transferred to the new registrar within 24-36 hours time.

See you in new post.

How to center a web page using CSS

12:12 PM dpk No comments


Here I'm going to tell you another important thing. Most of the new web designers has problem that how to center the website in a browser. Today I'll teach how to do that in easy way using simple CSS.

There are some alignment style we using for web pages.

  • Align Center all the content of page.
  • Align Left / Right all the content of page.
  • Set content to use full width of page.
  • Or align Top / Bottom full width and center the middle content of web page.
  • And also there are some another alignment.
Let's see how to center the content of web page.

As we discussed on previous post, we know that what are the standard width sizes for a webpage.
http://latestwebdesignstuff.blogspot.com/2012/01/default-sizes-for-web-page-width-and.html

When we planing to center the content, we should know the what is the width size we are going to use on this web page / website.

Let's take it as 960px.

First we need to write the CSS code. Just a simple code.

<style type="text/css">
  #container {width:960px; margin:0px auto;}
</style>


On above CSS code, we set a style for the ID called container. Just a name. I used this because it is unique and very easy to find it. And set as a ID. Not a style class. 


For the container, we set width as 960px. That means our web page width going to be 960px. 
Then set the margin. In here I used short form. This is how to read it.


Margin property has 4 sub properties as margin-top, right, bottom and left. 
In here we used margin main property and with 0px, we set the top and bottom margins. Now top and bottom is 0px. And left and right sides we set as auto. It will says, automatically maintain the left and right margins with browser width. Once browser width exceeds 960px, automatically takes the free area and divide it by 2 and set left and right. Now it is center.

Here is how we can integrate the ID to the HTML code.
I'm going to use div element.


<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<title>Web Site TItle</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">Web Site Content Will goes here...</div>
</body>
</html>


It's very simple and completely cross browser supported. 


Let's meet with a another post...

Using CSS in a HTML code - Integrate CSS with a Website

3:47 PM dpk No comments

Quick look-up about how to integrate CSS with a website.

We can write CSS coding inline with HTML or keep it as a separate file.


Here how we can use it as separate CSS file


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

<title>Web Site TItle</title>
</head>
<body>
    Web Site Content Will goes here...
</body>

</html>

In above example you can see style sheet linked to the web page as a external file. Now you can write CSS rules in external CSS file.

Here how we can use it inline with HTML


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>

<style type="text/css">
All the style (CSS) Will goes here...
</style>


<title>Web Site TItle</title>
</head>
<body>
    Web Site Content Will goes here...
</body>

</html>

Above example you can see tag called 'style'. Between these tags you can use your CSS coding on web page. Also there are another way you can use inline CSS. It is write style codes inside of tag.


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>

<title>Web Site TItle</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div style="color:#000;">Web Site Content Will goes here...</div>
</body>

</html>


In above example code CSS styles are written inside of style tag of div elements.

What is Table less design or CSS based websites ?

11:49 AM dpk No comments

I think all of you have heard about CSS based websites. If not, now you heard it. :D


Ok, What is this CSS based websites called? 


We know that in the past, developers used Table structure as their based layout for a website design. Most developers are able to do great websites with this table layout system and not it has become a old technique. 


When used table structure, the main problems comes with Rendering and Loading. 
If the site uses more and more tables, it's get more time load the page.
Also some of the rendering problems like wrong image placements, Padding errors etc. 


But when CSS (Cascade Style Sheets) become popular, table layout system get outdated. 
Because CSS has great flexibility when it comes with layout designing. 


Advantages when use CSS

  • CSS makes faster loading
  • Easy to code for cross browsers
  • Website weight reduce by more than 50%
  • Very simple when need to change the color theme or any style update. 
  • And many more... you will find them when using it

Latest version is CSS3 and most of the browsers currently has great support for CSS2 / CSS2.1 versions.

If you need to add CSS Styles for your website you can do it as Inline CSS or as a Separate Document. 
We will see how to use this styling in future...

What is Domain Privacy Protection

3:05 PM dpk No comments

Again another domain name lesson...

Let's see about Domain name Privacy Protection.
At beginning, word says it's meaning. Yes, it is all about privacy.

When someone make domain request / order a domain, he/she need to enter Billing / Admin and Technical details such as Name, address, Email, Contact No's etc.

These details are very very important, because these details tells domain ownership's. Unfortunately, there is a service called, 'Domain Who is look-up' and it will display all these details. But displaying these details are a great help for the thefts (Domain thefts).

And there is a way to prevent this privacy security issue. It's called Privacy Protection for domain name. Not all the domain service providers serve's this feature and some of them charging for this service. Also there are some registrars / service providers not charging for this.

Once you have this option enabled for your domain name, No one can see your actual details for Admin / Technical and Billing contacts fields. They only can see some dummy address / name / contact details only.

But at the registrar, use can see the actual registration details correctly. With this option No More Domain Steals without owner behaviors. So, these option is available and don't forget to select any service provider that serves this Privacy Protection.

What is Domain EPP code ?

4:18 PM dpk No comments

In here EPP stands for Extensible Provisioning Protocol. 


Everyone who has registered a domain, know what is this EPP code. But most of the people are having trouble when they have knowledge about EPP code. 


Once you have registered a domain, also it assign a EPP code for your domain name. Then once you want to transfer or do anything regarding domain, they requires EPP code to authorize you are the domain owner. 


Also EPP code gives protection against domain thefts. 


When someone find a domain registrar and registered new domain, once active the domain name, he / she can find the EPP code request form / button on user area. Then they can get / view EPP code for their Domain name. 


Some registrars and Hosting service providers are giving FREE Hosting and Domain names OR FREE Domain Name with a Hosting package. Most of these kind registrar / Hosting providers are playing a game with users. They does not offer a EPP code for the users and once Domain name got popular, They asking users for pay for EPP code or they will place a higher BID for the particular domain name.


So, first of all, it is better to ask / find is your selected service provider gives EPP code.

Default sizes for a web page - width and height

1:51 PM dpk No comments


Let's see what are the default sizes for a web page

Here I like to say that we should be care about devices that users are uses for browsing websites. Mainly we are point the desktop view of the website.

Simply now days, developers are trying to use big width websites with a huge height. Actually this is not a usability targeted design.

Most of website designers / developers are using 1024 / 800 / 600 as width of a website. And 900 / 1200 and more for the height.

We know website are views on a monitor. So, main thing we need to set width / height for the monitor sizes. As we know that you and most of the users are does NOT like to scroll horizontally. And vertically is not a big problem, but does NOT like to scroll down for an hour time to see the website.

Main issue is comes with width of a website. The best width size is 960px / 1000 px.

With 960px width size never users will not need to scroll horizontally even they uses 15" monitor. Also 1000px width size has the same result.

Some of the fresh developers are trying to set width as 1024px. Because of internationally minimum screen resolution size is 1024 X 768. But when vertical scrolling shows it is reduce view-able area to 1002px. That's why we cant use 1024px as max width for a website.

Best height is depend on website type. It is good to limit height as 1200px maximum.
