Why separate you might ask : Reasons to Separate Your Website’s Domain Registration and Web Hosting
from: https://optimwise.com/why-keep-domain-registration-hosting-separate/

  1. No Single Point of Failure.  What if your hosting company has an outage or significant downtime? If everything you own is held by that one company, you will be out of luck. On the other hand, if your domain is registered elsewhere, you could restore a backup of your website to another host, then point your domain there, bringing your site back online while the first host is still down. We had to do this at least once when a host's control panel was inaccessible for several days straight.
  2. Minimizes Your Risk of Hacking.  What if a hacker is able to access the account where both your domain name and hosting are registered? Unfortunately, they will have full control over your site and domain, and can do as they please with both. They could also mess with your email service connected to that domain This is not the case if the hacker only gains access to either your web hosting or your domain name. If they gain access to just one, you would at least have options for rescuing some or all of your web property.
  3. Your “Free” Domain May Be to Good to Be True.  Of course when you registered for a free domain for a year it sounded like a great idea! But what about when the one year period is up? Most contracts require you then pay the current monthly or annual rate for domains, which is significantly more expensive than if you had registered the domain by itself somewhere else. Since domain registration typically only costs $10-15 per year, we recommend you register your domain name separately.

Archives - Wayback Machine

  • Not everything was copied over from the previous webs.com site but you can use the Wayback Machine to research and possibly recover any older material - https://web.archive.org/web/20220000000000*/neott.com
  • Here is the original neott.com web site Aug 2003
  • Here is Day 1 of version 2 of neott.com web site Sep 2012, interesting that later on in the archives after we had activated the mobile option in webs.com it doesn't play too nice with the Wayback Machine.  At the time webs.com was an early leader in web-to-mobile but then HTML 5 came along and changed everything and webs.com failed to adapt and was stuck with proprietary architecture.

TMT Google Map Link

The google map link for TMT is:
  • https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2%B015'19.9%22N+96%C2%B000'25.9%22W/@36.1955764,-95.9728811,12z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x87b6e8cc49bef65f:0xf6c3ef366794e27e!2sTurley,+OK!3b1!8m2!3d36.242036!4d-95.9758307!3m5!1s0x0:0x19398471f3115b98!7e2!8m2!3d36.2555285!4d-96.0072065

If you look close you will see two single quote marks (B015' and 0'25.9) well it turns out that Weebly doesn't like those when pasting in the URL so it truncates the link to https://www.google.com/maps/place/36%C2%B015  and the resulting URL sends the user to a location off the coast of Malta.

The solution is to use the escape code for single quotes (%27) instead of the single quote (')
