As a follow-up to my recent updates to the Finding the Host page of the site, I’ve decided to create a short video demonstrating the process of finding a host for a domain Web site.
The video, which lasts about five minutes, takes the user through the process of finding the host for this site, instructing on the use of the Domain Tools Web site and various features of it.
The video is my first attempt at such a screencast so it is far from perfect. There also seemed to be a minor encoding issue when I uploaded the video to Revver. I might try a different video sharing site in the future.
Please let me know what you think of the video. I’ve embedded it below.
I tried but i couldn't see that video. it started and then it kind of got stuck.

Recliners: You might want to check out today's post, could have had something to do with the site outage. Try it again today and see what happens.RS: Glad it was useful. I'm not sure if I'm going to release a new version or not beyond trying to use different sites to see how it encodes them. It could be a screw up on my end (I'm pretty new to this screencasting stuff). Thanks for the feedback
Jonathan, you make a great teacher. That video is very instructive and quite clear in both video and audio. I have learned a lot from watching it. I am looking forward to the improved version too.

Yes, I can see the video. Useful information, but the screen zooming could have been reduced.
Murali: Glad it worked for you. I actually tried a few different zooms but the problem is making the text visible. Since things had to be visible on that tiny Revver/YouTube player, I had to zoom way in.If I can get my hands on a more advanced screen recorder, I'll be able to do more things with it.
