Diversify to Stay Alive
“Diversify to stay alive” is a term that is banded around all the time with business but more so lately during our economic crisis / recession / general doom & gloom. Donkey is no exception and is having to realign priorities.
There are three aspects to Donkey Internet:
- Domain Registration
- SSL Certificates
- Software Development
And here is how each one will change
Domain Registration
DomainDonkey will continuing as is and focus on providing simple first class domain registration services.
SSL Certificates
SSLDonkey has to change. It hasn’t been as successful as hoped for a myriad of reasons and isn’t sustainable in it’s current form. The plan is for it to become an advisory and guidance site with links to the primary Certificate Authorities or other suitable SSL resellers. It will supply direct links and also affiliate links so that you have the choice which one you use (although using the affiliate link would be good). It will not link to any reseller or supplier that I don’t think warrants it.
Any existing clients will continue to have access to their client stable and will receive support as required.
SSLDonkey will be rebranded as SSLguide.org and will endeavour to be a top SSL resource.
Software Development
This area will become the focus for Donkey Internet. For some time Donkey has been providing coding and development support for several clients. There are also two in house projects about to commence.
Software development, primarily SaaS (Software as a Service) / web apps / in the cloud, has much greater longevity.
These changes, which I know will disappoint some customers, are necessary to ensure that Donkey survives the current conditions and can grow and prosper.
