Add You - Domain Names 101
The way that your company logo is displayed is probably the most important part of your over all business presentation and company image. Your logo must always be displayed in a crisp and clean way and if you fail to do this you have missed your golden opportunity to maximize your company’s first impression on the consumer or your potential client. Crisp and clean is what you should be thinking on your company signage, whether it is on a building, vehicle or on a four-color brochure.Below your logo should be your simple and too the point message to your customer. It must be crisp also and add to your logo not over dominate it. All too often the company logo is blurred and over shadowed by words. Remember a company logo is a picture worth a thousand words and the writing bel

Unless the domain name you want to register is very unique, I wouldn't count on it being available for registration using the .com extension. That's not to say that it's not for sale, however. After you try to register your name, and you find that has already been registered, go directly to the web address on the net, and see what's there. Sometimes there will be a developed website, sometimes there will be nothing but an error page, and sometimes you will find that the domain name is for sale by owner. You can then attempt to contact the current owner to purchase the domain on the aftermarket.
Domain names are generally more expensive on the aftermarket, so expect to pay more than you would if you were registering the domain name through a company like GoDaddy

Once you are familiar with the basics, you will feel confident enough to make a sensible decision, and find the best domain name solution for your specific needs.
What is a domain name? The best way to understand the concept of a domain name is to think of it as a mask, or the alphanumeric equivalent of an ip address. This mask allows you to access web pages on the internet in an easy to remember way. For example the domain name for this site is www.DomainBash.com. That is a lot easier to remember than something that looks like 24.195.85.161, which is what the ip address that the domain name is masking. Your domain name will essentially become your online identity, and how your visitors will be able to find your website in the endless sea of sites that is the web.
Understanding the parts Now that you have a basic understanding of what a domain name is, you are ready to understand the individual parts of the domain name. Again we will use www.domainbash.com for our example. The www stands for “world wide web” which encompasses all things accessible on the internet. The second part, which is the part where some minor creativity will help, is the domain name – in our example, this would be domainbash. This, more often times than not, is also the name of your website, or business. Last, we have the TLD – Top Level Domain, or the extension. There are various extensions available for your consideration.
TLDs In Depth TLDs can be further broken down into gTLDs (generic top level domains) and ccTLDs (country code top level domains).
Generic Top Level Domains gTLDs .aero – airport industry .biz – business .com – commercial, unrestricted .coop –cooperatives .edu – US education .gov - US government .info – informational, unrestricted .mil – US military .museum – museums .name – individuals .net – networks,unrestricted .org – organizations, unrestricted
Country Code Top Level Domains ccTLDs There are over 240 ccTLDs which correspond to country codes. Some ccTLDs offer open registration, while others restrict their usage. Some that offer open registration are .cc – Cocos (Keeling) Islands, .bz – Belize, and .ws – Western Samoa, to name just a few. The entire list can be found at the Globe Domains Blog - http://www.globedomains.com
Using ccTLDs that are available to you in your area is a good way to get a quality domain name that suits your website or business.
Using a ccTLD is no different than using the more popular gTLDs, and you will have a better chance of obtaining the domain name you really want, rather than settling for a .com domain name that is just so-so.
Where should I register my domain? I have been dealing with domain names for quite some time now, so I've dealt with many domain name registrars. An important factor that you may not consider right away is how much control you have over your domain name(s). The key is going with a company that has a well known reputation. Reputations speak for themselves. The company you choose should have outstanding customer support and a simple control panel so that you can easily control your domain name settings.
For domain name registration, I recommend two companies. 1. GoDaddy.com and 2) eNom.com.
Both of these companies have outstanding reputations, plus offer the best control panels I've seen. The last thing you want is to be overwhelmed by your domain name. If it so happens that you don't like the registrars I've recommended, feel free to do your own research, and find a company that works for you and your business.

Poker affiliate sites now offer a range of opportunities to their members, rather than the simple earning potential of the standard schemes. If joining a poker affiliate program through a site that represents a number of other poker rooms, there are opportunities to earn more money in a variety of ways. Each new opportunity requires a certain amount of additional clientele or work, but all will inevitably help you optimise the earning capacity of your online clients.Often the affiliate program sites will offer a tiered level of partnership. Obviously new affiliates start at the bottom, but usually based on the number of new players they generate there is the opportunity to move upwards. Starting at a basic level, affiliates can work there way up the affiliate ladder depending on

Is a telemarketing service the right way for you to promote your business? I am as guilty as anyone of complaining endlessly about telemarketing services calling at the worst times. After all, telemarketing is probably the most controversial advertising technique ever. However, sometimes a good telemarketing service, believe it or not, can help your business. We know that telemarketing can be effective, but there are now many legal concerns about using it. With that in mind, there are some things you should do to ensure that a telemarketing service will be the right way for you to promote your business. Any telemarketing service will know that there are many new laws in place. These laws regulate the use of phone calls as a means of marketing based on the time frames. One of th

How many times have you been criticized for making an honest mistake? Perhaps you left laundry in the dryer, forgot to put the milk away, or neglected to set your alarm for work? Hey…these things happen. After all, we’re only human right? Then why, at times, do we forget this universal truth and excessively criticize others for their mistakes?The answer is simple and something I believe everyone, including myself, can improve upon; always assume positive intent. In other words, when you witness someone else’s mistake, assume they didn’t do it intentionally and they were trying their best to prevent making the mistake in the first place.As an example, I’ll share with you a pretty big “boo boo” I made in 2004. I was coding the first draft of our co

Domain names are generally more expensive on the aftermarket, so expect to pay more than you would if you were registering the domain name through a company like GoDaddy.com. Keep in mind the domain name market is competitive. The cost can be tremendous depending on the demand for the name. If you are just starting out, using an alternative extension would be a better option for you. Those will a larger budget should seriously consider investing in their first choice domain name if the option is available.
Whatever you decide to do, remember that your domain name is your web presence. You want people to remember your domain name, and never forget it. Try to choose something that represents your website or business, while being memorable and pleasant to say aloud. People tend to forget cumbersome domain names with too many words. Try to keep it as short as possible, if possible and let it flow.
I chose DomainBash.com because it related to domain names, without being restrictive. It is also unique which allows me trademark or brand the name. Combining a more common keyword, in this case “domain” with another word that is less commonly used “bash” is always a good idea if you want to include keywords in your domain.
