Welcome!
Hello andWelcome to our website.
PgL Publishing is our website design, hosting, and management company!
More than 20 years ago, Ms Lyndsey first got into web design using the various tools that were available back then. Due to school and raising a family, she set web design aside for a few years.
In August of 2009 when she build her first website in more than 10 years. Being a member of the alternative life-style community, Ms Lyndsey noticed how many people among the various alternative life-style communities were looking for someone who knew how to build websites. They wanted to find someone who would not be offended or turned-off by the content they wished to have on their "kinky" websites.
In January of 2010, Ms Lyndsey, along with her partner Tim, founded PgL Publishing and began to design and build websites ~ averaging about 1 per week. PgL Publishing has designed, hosted, or managed more than 25 websites ranging from a church website (which is now inactive), to personal web sites for members of the BDSM or human Ponyplay community, and a website for a local public BDSM Dungeon. The size of these websites range from a one page flier, to a full blown website for different kinky flea markets; e-commerce websites for a taxidermy business, several different alternative life-style businesses, as well as the largest and most extensive, actively updated, worldwide source for links to and descriptions of adult locality-based groups, gatherings, events, parties, dungeons, activities, meets, resources and information.
We love to build websites ~ all kinds of websites ~ and to incorporate the customer's needs and desires into their site to make it a truly "unique" web site for them, their organization, or their business. We also offer web hosting as well as website management services.
We look forward to working with you on your web site needs.
Blessings~
Ms Lyndsey
Co-Owner & Web Designer,

Email Services
PgL Publishing provides robust email services
Beginning August 1, 2013, all domains hosted by PgL Publishing send email using Vouch by Reference systems. This means email you send using our services is far less likely to be mistaken as spam.
The systems we are using are Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM)
-
Our servers use DKIM to digitally sign every email you send out. This allows Google, Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft and other ISPs to verify that your email really does come from you, and not from a forger.
-
Our implementation of Sender Policy Framework lets the major email services check to see that the server they get an email from is authorized to relay mail on behalf of your domain. SPF records are stored alongside others in DNS servers, making them a critical part of the internet backbone.
None of our hosted domains appear on any email server Blacklists
All of our domains and server IPs have clean reports from SORBS, Spamhaus, Spamcop and Project Honeypot
We subscribe to a monitoring service that reports to us if they find any of our domains on any blacklists.
If we discover anything that tarnishes our reputation as an email sender, we will take corrective action promptly.
Checking DKIM
Our DKIM implementation uses the current state of the art 1024 bit encryption keys. To check this, enter the following into the form at this link: DKIM Key Checker
default then pglpublishing.com
You can also enter: default and then any of our client's domains
Checking SPF
We use a custom implementation of SPF. Syntax validation can be checked using this tool, which is commonly used and recommended in the industry:
SPF Validation @ Kitterman.com
Spam policies of major online email providers support SPF and DKIM
