1and1 Webspace Explorer Error

Looks like 1and1 just recently changed their "1and1 Control Panel" interface. Probably, many were used to using Internet Explorer with "1and1 Webspace Explorer" because it was compatible, before the 1and1 interface change, whereas Google Chrome was not. As of 5/15/11, when attempting to use Webspace Explorer with Internet Explorer 9, commands clicked end up with an error being displayed.

The fix would be to switch to another browser like Google Chrome, which is faster anyway and more secure. You could try Firefox or Opera, but I haven't personally tested those browsers. For me, I will continue to develop in Dreamweaver, test in multiple browsers, and use Google Chrome for any 1and1 Webspace Explorer interactions.

Google Chrome :: Task Manager Keyboard Shortcut

Once in awhile, a page may cause a hiccup in Google Chrome. If one of your pages refuses to close, a quick keyboard shortcut to kill the page is:

Shift + Esc

This will bring up the Google Chrome Task Manager. Select the tab you want to close, and then click End Process. Hopefully, all is well again.

Cheers

How to Fix: Google Chrome "Resolving Host" Problem

Google Chrome loads fast, is an excellent browser, but every now and then, I get a "Resolving Host" problem where my Internet access stops working. The browser just sits there and nothing happens.

Fix:

1. Go into the top right of Chrome and click the Wrench Icon
2. Go to Options
3. Click on the Under the hood tab
4. Check OFF "Use DNS pre-fetching to improve page load performance"
5. Restart Chrome or Windows
