Hover (domain registrar)

Hover is an Internet domain name registration service. Hover is a division of Tucows Incorporated, the third largest ICANN-accredited domain registrar in the world, only behind GoDaddy and eNom. Tucows is the largest publicly traded registrar and a technology company serving thousands of businesses and millions of Internet users worldwide since 1994. As of March 2010, Tucows is currently managing over 10 million domain names online.

History

Hover was founded in July 2008 by Tucows Inc. after deciding to merge the three domain registration services they already owned, NetIdentity, It's Your Domain (IYD), and Domain Direct. All NetIdentity, It's Your Domain (IYD), and Domain Direct customers are forwarded to Hover.com for all of their domain, email, and web service management needs.

Business

Hover is using the Tucows wholesale reseller services provided by OpenSRS as its foundation. Hover has removed their automated answering system from their customer support lines so that customers only have to deal with a person rather than a machine.

Fen

A fen is one of the main types of wetland, the others being grassy marshes, forested swamps, and peaty bogs. Along with bogs, fens are a kind of mire. Fens are usually fed by mineral-rich surface water or groundwater. They are characterised by their water chemistry, which is pH neutral or alkaline, with relatively high dissolved mineral levels but few other plant nutrients. They are usually dominated by grasses and sedges, and typically have brown mosses in general including Scorpidium or Drepanocladus. Fens frequently have a high diversity of other plant species including carnivorous plants such as Pinguicula. They may also occur along large lakes and rivers where seasonal changes in water level maintain wet soils with few woody plants. The distribution of individual species of fen plants is often closely connected to water regimes and nutrient concentrations.

Fens have a characteristic set of plant species, which sometimes provide the best indicators of environmental conditions. For example, fen indicator species in New York State include Carex flava, Cladium mariscoides, Potentilla fruticosa, Pogonia ophioglossoides and Parnassia glauca.

Car (surname)

Car is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:

Car (King of Caria)

Car of the Carians (Greek: Κάρ), according to Herodotus, was the brother of Lydus and Mysus. He was regarded as the eponymous and ancestral hero of the Carians who would have received their name from the king. He may or may not be the same as Car of Megara

The name "Car" is unrelated to the English word "car" (vehicle).

Car of the Carians

Herodotus mentions Car, brother of Lydus and Mysus; the three brothers were believed to have been the ancestral heroes and eponyms of the Carians, the Lydians and the Mysians respectively. This Car was credited by Pliny the Elder with inventing the auspicia.

Car was also said to have founded the city Alabanda, which he named after Alabandus, his son by Callirhoe (the daughter of the river god Maeander). In turn, Alabandus's name is said to have been chosen in commemoration of his Car's victory in a horse fight— according to the scholar Stephanus of Byzantium, "Alabandos" was the Carian word for "winner in a horse fight". Another son of Car, Idrieus, had the city Idrias named after himself.
