I know I already posted about safety when viewing hypnosis videos on YouTube, but I think it's serious enough that I'm going to embed this here. The audio isn't the best, (I'll probably re-record it soon) but the info is important.

Problem Solved
The DNS changes are still percolating, but percolating they are. iHypnoU.com is finally accessible again.
To celebrate, I've got a link to my updated induction file. I'm looking into hosting at least the free files locally to make them more easily accessible, but I'm wanting to get a feel for the bandwidth requirements first.

Running a site can be Difficult
iHypnoU has been down quite a while, and it's bothering me a lot.
Not because I'm losing money - nothing is for sale just yet.
Honestly, I'm embarassed.
In the middle of moving to my apartment, I've stopped focusing so much on the website, and I didn't notice it was down until my traffic started dropping.
Even when the web host is up, the site has been down. I'm not quite sure what it means, but in an effort to fix it, I've moved to a new host. The only issue now is getting ahold of the guy who can change my nameservers.
I've learned my lesson, I guess, in that it's important to have full control, or at least really direct supervision, over the really important stuff.
Competition
While registering a new domain name yesterday, I browsed through one of the many bargain bins of recently expired names. In the process, I noticed there were a lot of hypnosis related domains up for grabs, especially those targeting our lovely neighbor-to-the-north, Canada.
One of the first things you do before you enter a marketplace with a new venture is scope out the competition. As far as hypnosis goes, there is a lot. The next thing you do, if you want to be successful, is figure out how you can differentiate yourself to get ahead of the pack.
At iHypnoU.com, we are looking to differentiate ourselves by providing real hypnosis and hypnosis information. We aren’t pushing any new-age ideas; we aren’t offering rubbish hypnosis sessions for ‘attracting good luck’ or money, and when our instruction materials come out, we won’t be teaching you how to mind control your boss for raises or get any woman to sleep with you.
It’s no surprise that so many of these domains are up for grabs. Many of them were probably owned by one person, and online hypnosis sites selling bunk information, like bad hypnotherapy practices, go out of business quickly.
Know that, despite our website being down at the moment thanks to our horrible (and now former) web host, we are still here and still working hard. Our first pay file, for helping with sleep troubles, is finished will be out the door soon.
