Sangent

After a two month hiatus, http://sang.trap17.com/ is back.

http://sang.trap17.com/ was the old domain name that I used to use. Unfortunately, it was on a free host, and, like one of my friends said, it was too popular for its own good. For a while, I got off using 66 GB of bandwidth / 5 GB of bandwidth with my old domain name, but that eventually stopped when cPanel was working.

Sangent all started with sang.trap17.com. The whole thing started as a site where I could put some of my favorite games online without having to worrying about it being blocked at my school. Eventually, people saw my monitor and wondered what that site’s URL was. I told them, and after a while, people started going to it. Then, I had to put more content on because of the demand. If I didn’t, I’d probably get lynched. Yeah, my site is that hot.

The whole thing was running without any advertisements whatsoever which was cool because I didn’t have to pay for it anyway, but on every single site that I went to, the hype was Google Adsense. Apparently, you could earn money for just putting up a little snippet of javascript code, so I decided to join since I had nothing to lose. I put ads on my site, but I wasn’t earning that much. To make it worse, the money I was making was fluctuating so much that getting my check seemed out of reach (you need to make at least $100 before Google can send out your check). One day I was earning 12 dollars, another I was earning a nickle. It was horrible.

One day, I found this website that outlined exactly what I needed to do to make more money. I followed that, and in just one day, I went from making $20/day to $100/day.

This year is a rollercoaster to say the least. The $100 that I was making daily suddenly went back to the nickle after trap17.com shut down my site for using too much bandwidth, so I used my advertisement money that I made to open an account on dreamhost.com so that I could get my site up and running as fast as possible. The problem was that I didn’t want to use a subdomain (something.dreamhosters.com or something like that). Besides, I had enough money to buy a TLD, anyway. What would I choose? I spent about an hour on this before my mind told me to quit. I didn’t want to, but I also couldn’t think of a domain name.

I had to resort to something I kinda didn’t want…nerdnirvana. All I knew was that giving that domain name out would be extremely hot to girls (I don’t know why), and it’s easy to remember…unlike some random word like “kalsiddon”. nerdnirvana.com was taken, and .org sounded cool since my internet friends had it, so I went with .org. I’ll probably pull a Google and register nerdnirvana with country code top-level domains, too, when I make enough money.

Anyway, after two months, sang.trap17.com is back online. Going to it will redirect you to nerdnirvana.org. The bad thing about my old domain name coming back is that it’s pretty much useless since search engines probably deleted sang.trap17.com from their index, so my pagerank will not change.

Whatevs.

Now you know the story.
