So as you have reached to this page I guess you are an downloading junkie and you know what rapidshare is!

Also most probably you know about the free and premium rapidshare accounts.Let me start from “what is rapidshare?”
Rapidshare is a file hosting service which provides a hassle free and very easy feature of uploading your files so that you can share those with others .Alternatively the downloaders can call it very annoying and a comparatively costly file sharing service.There’s another definition : Rapidshare is a file hosting monopoly ,It have a monopoly over all the other file hosting sites

There is a limitation like waiting time,Single file at a time etc. for those users who use the free mode of downloading from rapidshare.whereas the premium account doesn’t have any such limitation.

A premium account cost about 10 USD for one month account alternatively you can also create a premium account from the rapidshare points which you have earned from your collectors account.You require 10000 points to get one month of rapidshare premium account.

You will get 1 rapidshare point/download if the downloader downloads the file which you have uploaded,  via that rapidshare link as a free user AND your file is bigger than 1 MB also the downloader has generated less than 5 points in the last hour.

Seems like impossible??! Nop! actually it’s not that difficult.

A little about tiwala

Titwala is a small town near Kalyan in Maharashtra, India. It is the site of a venerated temple of Ganesha, and also the putative site of the hermitage where Shakuntala was born.

Many people make a common mistake while installing the blogs on their domain,What they do is they install the blog on some folder rather than the root of the website.Hence the address of the blog becomes something like www.mydomain.com/blog without keeping any content on the root of the site (i.e. mydomain.com)

That’s not the only case,Many times by misake OR unknowingly they make their whole website on some other folder rather than the root.and It become a mess to again shift the website one tree down

BUT there is one thing which could solve this issue without moving the whole website,That’s redirecting the users from the root -> to that folder.
