I believe in 2018 it was I thought about registering an domain called creepixel.com. I used godaddy.com to see wether it was free or not and it was, now since then it is no longer. It has been registered by GoDaddy LLC... Even tho I never registered the IP they just sniped it and have it registered since then,
can I do anything against this?
Also I have never really talked about the name or anything online and that IP is not really to be found anywhere so I cant image someone just randomly registering it and doing nothing with it.
I found this: https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/processes/process1/index.html
If you believe that GoDaddy registered the domain in bad faith (for example, by registering it with the intent to sell it to you at a higher price), you may be able to file a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). WIPO is an agency of the United Nations that handles disputes related to domain names.
But afaik it's not possible to take any legal action against GoDaddy for registering the domain, as they are within their rights to do so. It's always a good idea to register a domain name as soon as you have decided to use it, as domain names are often registered on a first-come, first-served basis.

I received a notification from Firebase to reverify my custom domain. Going into the firebase hosting dashboard, I only have one button to press on
Once I press it, I get the error:
We couldn't verify your domain . Please check your settings and try again.
What settings is it referring to?
On the DNS provider side nothing changed. Still have the records as configured when I first set up firebase hosting.
Received official word from Firebase:
We are aware of the deep impact it might be having for your project,
but I assure you we are working on it as our top priority. Our
engineering team is aware of this problem and even though they are
already working on it, the issue is still affecting several projects.
I apologize for the inconvenience and will keep you updated as soon as
more information is available.
[UPDATE]
https://status.firebase.google.com/incident/Hosting/21001
There is now an open ticket
Seems that they have fixed issue.
I just pressed "Verify" button again now and status says "Connected".

I would like to publish my asp.net core to my own domain that is hosted on a shared hosting.
However, after publishing I would like to spend a few hours live testing it (yeah, I have yet to learn auto testing using selenium).
While doing so, I want to prevent visitors from knowing that the site is published so that they won't use it; some strangers know that I will be publishing some time soon and they may have set up auto monitoring.
How can that be achieved?
Best recommendation would be to use a different subdomain if your applications isn't affected by the domain it is accessed on, this will allow the older version to still be used by others. But if you don't mind if others are completely unable to access the system while you are testing, just whitelist only your IP on the domain.
You can setup a gateway for you website.
You can set IP whitelist in the server hosting provider, or you can use a reverse proxy like Nginx to set IP whitelist or HTTP auth before the requests arrive your website.
If the domain doesn't matters, you can use subdomain as Jacob suggests

At the end of each month my company sends out web statistics to show who was accessing our website, where they were from, their IP addresses, etc. Our site is very specific to my region of the United States, yet a lot of our traffic comes from Ukraine, France, Russia, and other countries that shouldn't really interested in our site. The web developers here say they are just "bots" looking for sites to hack.
What are these bots? And what are they really looking for? If they found out they could hack our site, what would that mean?
They look for known vulnerabilities, e.g. by attempting to fetch the admin pages for a popular blog package which is known to be vulnerable in some old versions. When they find a vulnerable site, they have a script (which typically they don't even understand; hence, "script kiddies") which exploits the vulnerability and gives them a root shell. From there on, anything is possible, but again, typically, spam, malware, leveraging your network for anonymization and bandwith e.g. for further attacks.

I have tried many hosting services and they all have the downtime problem. Now, i am well aware that downtime is inevitable and will happend eventually, but i have been wandering if a website can be hosted in multiple hostings to solve this problem. For example, i have my website in one hosting company and if for any reason my site goes down in that site, my domain name can redirect to the alternative hosting company.
Is that posible? and if so, how can it be done?
I will greatly apreciate any help.
It's difficult to have 100% uptime guaranteed, but having multiple servers spread across multiple providers can get you close.
The trick is letting your DNS know which IP to serve your site from. My DNS provider has a failover system that monitors my sites; if it detects any downtime, it automatically serves up a secondary IP address for requests to my domain.
Of course, this requires having an infrastructure in place to ensure the content is synced across multiple servers but if you're in the game for a failover system like this I'm guessing you've already got something like that in place.

I have a BizSparks subscription to Windows Azure, I have created a website and deployed my MVC 4 app. All went well, the site running under : http://rfi-uat.azurewebsites.net/
Now, I am trying to set the CName and point my domain name to the site. I read and understood that in order to do this, I need to change the site mode from FREE to Shared. However, every time I try it says
Mode change could not be saved
The detail of the message reads
Please try again. If the problem persists, contact support.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It appeared to be an issue for certain websites. In particular websites in East Asia region. I first lodged a ticket to the billing support as advised by #David M. above. The Win Azure team responded:
Your question appears to require technical support for
instead of billing and subscription support for Azure as selected.
Then I kept trying differnt things, and I found that few other operations fail occasionally on that particular website (which is the only one in East Asia region in my account).
I created a new Azure website in East US region and everything went smooth from there on.
