Wednesday Meals

2月

20日

I was at the hospital from 8:30 AM until almost 4 PM today. I had breakfast at home, and for the first time since my hospitalization, I ate out for lunch. I had a grilled cheese sandwich at the hospital cafeteria—not exactly an exciting choice for my first meal out. For dinner, I had a stir-fry mixed with yakisoba at home.

At the hospital, I mentioned that I’ve been experiencing persistent diarrhea, so they decided to remove one of my current medications. Hopefully, this will help ease the issue.

The main event of the day was getting the stent removed from between my kidney and bladder in the afternoon. It was quite painful.

A Long Day

2月

20日

This morning, I had a blood test at the hospital at 8:30 AM, followed by a meeting with my nephrologist at 9:30 AM, where we adjusted my medication. Later, at 2:30 PM, I underwent the removal of a stent that had been placed from my kidney to my bladder. This procedure is typically done without anesthesia, so it was quite tough. However, it was successfully removed. Now that the stent is gone, I'm both curious and a bit concerned about how things will feel moving forward.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 325 Is the Hosting Business Saturated in Japan?

2月

20日

Is the Hosting Business Saturated in Japan?

There’s a discussion about how the hosting business is saturated in Japan, but is that really the case? By examining the domain registration numbers, we can determine whether this trend is true. If the market is saturated, the new registration demand numbers should decrease and the domain registration numbers should plateau. Below are the number of domain registrations in Japan from 2001 to 2024:

- 2001: 40,359
- 2002: 33,189
- 2003: 36,949
- 2004: 47,393
- 2005: 78,345
- 2006: 65,811
- 2007: 66,387
- 2008: 71,028
- 2009: 81,163
- 2010: 88,812
- 2011: 102,457
- 2012: 121,576
- 2013: 140,112
- 2014: 158,479
- 2015: 157,361
- 2016: 178,800
- 2017: 200,264
- 2018: 230,311
- 2019: 267,988
- 2020: 357,150
- 2021: 488,556
- 2022: 570,736
- 2023: 1,398,795
- 2024: 2,629,408

These figures clearly show the growth of domain registrations, indicating that the demand for online presence in Japan is still expanding. This data shows that the demand is not plateauing; on the contrary, they’re rapidly growing. Especially since 2020. The increase in new registrations suggests that many businesses and individuals are still seeking an online presence.

So, where are they hosting these registered domains?
The domain registration situation in Japan is as follows:

- Total number of Top-Level Domains (TLDs): 710
- Total number of registered domains: 7,712,091
- Global market share: 1.02%

This data reflects the scale of domains managed and operated within Japan and its international position.

The breakdown of domain registrations in Japan is as follows:

- .com: 48.74%
- .xyz: 7.68%
- .net: 7.32%
- .lol: 6.08%
- .sbs: 5.69%
- .cfd: 3.91%
- .site: 3.21%
- .info: 1.88%
- .jp: 1.67%
- .tokyo: 1.38%
- Other: 12.44%

These numbers show the trends in the use of TLDs in Japan, with .com holding the dominant share.

Kidney Transplant

2月

20日

When you hear "kidney transplant," what do you think happens? I used to believe they removed the old kidney—the one that wasn’t working—and replaced it with the donor's kidney. But that’s not actually how it works. Unless the old kidney is infected or causing a problem, they leave it in place. Instead, they add the new kidney near the bladder, connecting it to both the bladder and the blood supply. They also place a stent to ensure urine flows properly from the new kidney to the bladder.

After about 20 days, they remove the stent.

Today is the day they will take out my stents. Due to complications after surgery, they had to insert two stents, and both are coming out today. It’s going to be a long day.

Stent Removal

2月

19日

Tomorrow, the 19th, will be the 18th day since my surgery was performed on February 1st. In the afternoon, the stent that was placed in the ureter connecting my new kidney to my bladder will be removed. The initial stent became immobile, so there are currently two stents in place. I have been told that both of these stents will be removed tomorrow.

Since the procedure will not be performed under general anesthesia, I am a bit concerned about how it will go. However, I have heard that once the stents are removed, the irritation to my bladder will decrease, making things more comfortable. Still, I can't help but feel a little nervous.

Not All Web & Email Hosting Are Created Equal

In the world of web and email hosting, many providers claim to offer the same services. But the truth is, not all hosting solutions are created equal. While some companies rely on third-party infrastructure or pre-built platforms, PSPINC's web and email hosting is built from the ground up—designed to be faster, more secure, and offer maximum uptime for businesses that demand reliability.

Speed is everything in today’s digital world. Slow websites not only frustrate visitors but also negatively impact SEO rankings and business credibility. At PSPINC, we optimize our hosting infrastructure with performance in mind—leveraging our own custom-built hosting environment to ensure that websites and emails run smoothly, without the sluggish performance that comes with shared or outsourced solutions.

Security at the Core
With rising cybersecurity threats, hosting security isn’t an option—it’s a necessity. Unlike many hosting providers that rely on third-party security measures, PSPINC has full control over its security infrastructure. We implement advanced firewalls, encrypted data storage, and proactive monitoring to keep websites and emails protected from cyber threats, phishing attempts, and malware.

Reliability You Can Trust
Downtime means lost business, lost productivity, and lost revenue. That’s why PSPINC is committed to delivering the highest uptime possible. Our hosting is built with redundancy, backup systems, and real-time monitoring to ensure that your services stay up and running—even in the face of unexpected issues.

Why PSPINC?
Many hosting companies take a "one-size-fits-all" approach, relying on generic hosting platforms. At PSPINC, we take a custom-engineered approach, fine-tuning every aspect of our hosting environment for businesses that need reliability, performance, and security.

If you’re looking for a hosting provider that prioritizes speed, security, and uptime, PSPINC is here to help. Get in touch today and experience the difference of hosting built from scratch for business success.

Too Much

2月

18日

Baking soda is used for the treatment of hyperkalemia, especially when kidney function is impaired. To alleviate hyperkalemia, a condition in which the potassium level in the blood is too high, I had been receiving sodium bicarbonate treatment starting about a week after surgery.

During yesterday's test, my potassium level was still slightly high, so the dosage was increased. However, as soon as the dosage was increased, I experienced an excessive amount of gas buildup, making me feel extremely uncomfortable for about half a day. It wasn’t that the medication didn’t suit me, but rather that the increased dosage was too high.

I immediately contacted the hospital, explaining that the situation was unbearable, and I asked them to return the dosage to its previous level. I haven’t received any further updates yet, but continuing with that higher dosage is simply not an option.

Although business and medical treatments are different, doing too much of something, even if it is beneficial, can have the opposite effect. Medications can be quite scary. Likewise, in business, when making course corrections, we must be careful not to overdo it. This experience has been an important lesson for me.

Sunday

2月

17日

These are my breakfast, lunch, and dinner photos from Sunday. I’ve never eaten so regularly and healthily before, but my body is gradually getting used to it. As I mentioned yesterday, I think it’s because of the steroids, but I feel hungry between meals. I need to be mindful of that.

Still, I’m happy to be able to eat proper meals every day. I'm keeping the seasoning light, but it’s not as completely flavorless as the food I used to eat in the past—I can actually enjoy the taste.

I don’t know how long this new kidney will last, but I hope to live with it for a long time.

Tomorrow, I have a hospital check-up at 10:30 AM. I’ll leave home around 9:00 AM, get a blood test and other tests at the hospital first, then have my appointment at 10:30 AM. That will be it for the day.

The next appointment is on Wednesday at 2:30 PM, when they will remove the stent connecting my kidney to my bladder. I’ve heard that I’ll feel much better after it’s removed, so I’m looking forward to it.

Thank you Fareboom

2月

17日

Just before my kidney surgery, I made two reservations to Japan on Japan. The first one was the day after my surgery and second one was going to be in April. Just after I made a reservations I found that I'll be having surgery and I won't be able to go. The first ticket was too close and I was not able to refund or change so I lost that ticket. However, for April, I purchased it through Fareboom website. It is also only refundable ticket but yesterday I called and confirmed that they will be able to postpone my trip. I have to make a reservation in march, but I will be able to postpone my trip till next year. Thank you very much.

PSPINC’s Data Center Strategy for Secure and High-Speed Web Hosting

2月

16日

PSPINC’s Data Center Strategy for Secure and High-Speed Web Hosting

PSPINC operates its own data centers to provide stable web hosting and email services, prioritizing data security and optimal access speed. The company follows these strategic approaches:

1. Core Data Center Policies

① U.S.-Based Data Center Operations
PSPINC’s primary data center is located in Seattle, Washington, ensuring compliance with strict U.S. data protection standards.

Key Features:
- Fully managed by PSPINC, eliminating dependency on third-party providers.
- Advanced backup systems with data mirroring and regular backups.
- 24/7 monitoring to prevent security breaches and system failures.
- HIPAA-compliant secure web messaging services for healthcare-related communication.

② Consideration of a Japan-Based Data Center
PSPINC is exploring the possibility of setting up a data center in Japan to improve access speed. However, due to security concerns, the expansion decision is being approached cautiously.

2. Why PSPINC Avoids Chinese Data Centers

To ensure data security, PSPINC does not consider using Chinese-affiliated data centers, avoiding risks such as:

- Data sovereignty issues: Chinese laws (e.g., National Intelligence Law) may allow government access to stored data.
- Security vulnerabilities: Potential risks of backdoors or malware in China-based servers.
- Legal compliance risks: Using Chinese data centers in Japan might conflict with APPI (Japan's Personal Information Protection Law) and international standards.

Since identifying Chinese-owned data centers can be challenging, PSPINC remains cautious about expanding to Japan and continues to prioritize its U.S.-based data centers.

3. Solutions for Faster Access in Japan

To enhance performance for Japanese users, PSPINC implements the following measures:

① CDN (Content Delivery Network) Usage
By utilizing CDN technology, PSPINC routes Japanese access requests to the nearest server, improving response speed.

② High-Speed DNS Server Deployment
Optimized DNS infrastructure helps reduce website loading times for Japan-based users.

③ Exploring Trusted Japanese Cloud Partnerships
PSPINC is considering partnerships with highly reliable Japanese cloud providers to maintain data security while improving access speed.

Commitment to Security and Performance
PSPINC remains dedicated to balancing security and access speed, continuously evolving its data center strategy to ensure customer trust and satisfaction.
