In today's digital world, your name is more than just your identity, it's your brand. That's why, as a software engineer building tools and sharing real-world case studies on jerrybeniten.com, I was surprised to learn there was another tech website with a very similar name: beniten.com. At first glance, you might think we're connected. After all, we both work in software, we both have the word "Beniten" in our domain, and we both appear in search results for IT-related terms. But here's the truth: jerrybeniten.com and beniten.com are completely unrelated.
Clearing the Confusion
To be absolutely transparent:
- beniten.com is an IT company based in Cambodia, offering software development services under a business brand.
- jerrybeniten.com is my personal tech blog and portfolio, created by me, Jerry Beniten, a Filipino software engineer.
- Despite the domain name similarity, we have no affiliation—legal, professional, or otherwise.
Why I'm Writing This
This isn't a takedown or criticism. It's a clarification. People searching for "Beniten" might land on either website and wonder:
"Are these sites connected? Is this a company run by Jerry Beniten?"
Shared Industry, Different Directions
It's actually a funny coincidence: two entities with the simillar domain name, in the same industry, both building software. But that's where the similarity ends:
- beniten.com likely operates as a registered company with its own goals, projects, and clientele.
- jerrybeniten.com showcases my personal experiments, technical writings, and case studies from a PHP headless CMS to finance CRM tools.
Protecting My Identity and Brand
As someone deeply involved in tech and as a SEO hobbist, I've had to deal with brand confusion before. At one point, a suspicious site tried to piggyback on my name and redirect users to spam content. I handled it through proper channels by filing a DMCA takedown—a completely legal and effective process. Since then, I've been more proactive about defining my brand and making sure my work is clearly represented. This article is part of that effort.
Final Thoughts (គំនិតចុងក្រោយ)
This article is not meant to disparage beniten.com or anyone associated with it. It exists simply to clarify:
beniten.com is a separate entity from jerrybeniten.com.
Any similarities in naming are coincidental. This post is based on publicly available information, and I have no insider knowledge of beniten.com's operations. If you're looking for their services, feel free to visit them directly. If you're here to follow my work, welcome.
In the digital age, clarity is key. I respect all creators in the tech space and believe that with honesty and openness, the web becomes a better place for everyone.
