Whois & Analysis for redstor.com

Slashdot (sometimes abbreviated as /) is a social news website that originally billed itself as "News for Nerds.

Stuff that Matters".

It features news stories on science and technology that are submitted and evaluated by site users.

Each story has a comments section attached to it where users can add online comments.

The website was founded in 1997 by Hope College students Rob Malda, also known as "CmdrTaco", and classmate Jeff Bates, also known as "Hemos".

In 2012, it was acquired by DHI Group, Inc. (i.e., Dice Holdings International, which created the Dice.com website for tech job seekers).

In January, 2016, BizX acquired Slashdot Media, including both slashdot.org and SourceForge.

The English adjective free is commonly used in one of two meanings: "for zero price" (gratis) and "with little or no restriction" (libre).

This ambiguity of free can cause issues where the distinction is important, as it often is in dealing with laws concerning the use of information, such as copyright and patents.

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.

It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over an electricity network.
