Review: Easy online job searching in India – Tamator.com

I seldom review websites on this blog but today I thought of writing about this one. Not only because I like this website, but also because the owner of this online job portal is an old friend of mine. Well yes, the site I am talking about is Tamator.com (of course the title says that too!!!!). We use to make websites back then while we were in college. He was very much interested in trying out new ideas on the internet. In fact, he was the one who inspired me to start writing blogs. Today I have a couple of blogs and I really think he deserve some good reviews from me.

Coming to the site, Tamator.com is an online Job Portal for people who are looking for jobs in India. I visit the website often because I am always on a look out for a better job. Whenever I visit the website, I usually see jobs related to Engineering, especially for computer science engineers or electronics engineers. Well, that’s okay with me because I am anyway looking for coding jobs. But I think including jobs from other domains like Banking, Finance, Planning and Management will be an even better idea. I know many people who have done MBA from some not-so-popular college and are still sitting at home, browsing internet and looking for job vacancies. Another thing I would like to see is constant updation of available vacancies. One good thing is done by Mr. Kumar collecting job vacancies and posting it on Tamator.com but if one can find the website updated in such a way that he no more feel the need of visiting other website, I am sure he will definitely stick to it the whole month, until he find the job he is looking for. He will even recommend the site to his friends and so and so on.

Well one thing I like most about Tamator.com is the easy navigation and non-flashy design. I like the way jobs are listed in a way that is easily interpreted right from the front page. I don’t have to visit every single job vacancy listing to find the right job as most of the things like job location, experience are already visible from the front page itself. That’s one thing I really like. Because at times when I don’t have much time, I just open up the website and scan quickly through the first page of the website, just to know if there are any job updates that suit my qualification, interest and location preference. I am sure many job seekers like such feature. So guys if you are looking for a job, try visiting Tamator.com and share your experience here with me. And yes, good luck on your job search. Have a great time.

How to get back my expired domain OR how to re-acquire it

Well, this may happen more often than you think. One fine day you open up your browser and tried to open up one of your websites which you have not opened up for the last few weeks, you suddenly found a parking page instead of your website. Surprised, you hurriedly login to your domain registrar’s account and saw the domain has indeed expired. To add to your headache, you found that the domain expired more than a month ago! Now what should you do?

Well, there is always a solution. First, there are two extended periods after a domain expires, within which you can re-acquire your domain back into your account.

The first period is called the Domain Re-Activation Period and it last for about 30 days (sometimes 28 days or even less) after the domain expiration date. Within this 30 days period, you can re-activate your domain by simply logging in into your domain registrar’s account and clicking on the “Reactivate Domains” section (or check for something which says pending or de-activated domains in your domain management section). If the domain you are looking for is withing this Reactivation Period, you will find the domain in this section. Just select the domain and reactivate it. It will usually cost you an amount same as that of a domain renewal fee.

BUT, if the domain has been expired for more than 30 days, then it goes to an extended period called Extended Redemption Grace Period or the ERGP which last for about 60 days (once again this vary and go up to even 120 days) before the domain is deleted and sent back to the Pool. Yes, you can re-acquire your domain within this period by contacting your domain registrar. But the problem is that, it will cost you a ERGP fee of $160 PLUS whatever fee your domain registrar decides to get you back the domain ownership. Usually, it will be $160 + Renewal Fee. So, if your domain is very important to you, you can pay the fee and get it back. But if it is not, the option is left to your imagination!

Anyway, I hope this article was helpful. Please do leave by your feedbacks.
