Point the domain problem


I have just started a new site but I don’t seem to be able to point the domain at the server. I have never had this problem before. Anyone know what you are supposed to do?

you visit your domain registrar control panel and look for an option which allows you to transfer / modify your name servers and update these to those provided by your new hosting provider.

Valuable Domains


Nowadays most domains are stuf like qgjf.com fvrt.com etc. are used

How valuable will these things be once all 4 letter domain names are taken? I’ve seen many auctions at SP where people aren’t even biting at these domains.

So is there value overinflated or is it that once all the 4 letter domains are taken the value for these things will shoot up?

2-3 letters are more valuable than 4 letters domain. In term of value between the com,net , .com is the most profitable.

4 letter domains arent that valuable unless they are real words.

yes, i agree. important is real word and related to site.

i still experimenting, seem like 4-5 letter domain, ranked faster on multiple keyword. keyword based domain, only ranked well for that particular keyword. this my concern about SEO site.

i think it depends on what the 4 letters actually are and if it has any relevance to more than one large company that could use it for there site…things like that to push the value up.

.INFO domains good or bad


I seen many website with .INFO domains. Is .INFO domains good or bad

From my experience, .info domains are great if you are looking to make a minisite. For professional websites, it isn’t the best option though.

.info are my second best choice after .coms

.INFO is good for informative websites not for all sites.
basic internet user have hard times to remember .INFO urls because .INFO it’s not so well known.

.info names are great for informational site. You must have a name that fits the extention well, just like any other extention.

Probable Threats of Cheap Hosting


There are several people who considers cheap web hosting similar to free web hosting, however it may be a bit harsh, there are certain factors underlying which the user should keep in consideration while searching for a cheap web host.

These related factors are given below:

  • Downtime: One cannot find an ideal output; if even after spending immense amount of time and bucks in the construction of a dream site, user reaches to a point where people cannot access it. Hence, in the process of selecting the ideal web host from the ocean of cheap web hosts prevailing in the market, the user should ensure that available downtime does not harm business due to use of cheap quality host.
  • Be Cautious for Bandwidth attack: For a user it is a vital factor to keep in mind the amount of bandwidth and storage space the host is delivering to him/her as an output of monthly payment. Bandwidth, no doubt is a golden key for a site’s success, as a site which is very well known, which attracts huge amount of traffic will obviously require more quantity of bandwidth. It may happen before the expected schedule and it is quite necessary that the user should have some options left with him/her if he/she faces sudden shortage of bandwidth. Or else, the user may need to counter extended downtime in the condition when it should not happen, so as to grab the lump of traffic that the user is attracting.
  • Check technical skills of the host: It is a sign of ideal web hosting services if they put provision of their web servers on their respective sites. When the user deeply analyzes this information he/she comes to know about the stability of host’s server system. The user can easily judge, the inverse relation between stability and downtimes. No doubt, there are several guys not having the technical knowledge, but at least they can consult somebody of their knowledge assisting them in analyzing the technical terminology at the hosts’ site.
  • Verify the site several times in 24 hours: It is quite common with several webmasters that due to huge amount of work they even forget to check their own sites. One cannot deny the fact that, it is a serious matter. It is very necessary and for this even if any extra effort or cash is involved of hiring somebody to do it for him/her on a regular basis through out the day, then too it is a profitable act. The job is not completely done with the site’s frequent accessibility but presence of everything and working efficiency should also be considered. This is the only way measurement of user’s efficiency and business is conducted by visitors, so one should take trouble for no one but for his/her own sake to ensure proper uptime and efficiency of the site.At the end, one can say that, it is not impossible to get cheap but hardworking host, but it will need an ample of work and checking from the other side i.e. from user’s side. A web host directory is another friend which assists a lot in such situation.

“i” or “e” prefix before domain name


If you wanted to buy a domain name with a keyword in it with either an “i” or “e” prefix before it, which is better & would be worth more. For example, ikeyword.com or ekeyword.com?

I like “e” as well, but both would probably be great domains

It depends, at some places “e” is good (like email) and at some places “i” is good (like iphone). It really depends on keyword.
I think “e” would worth more since it is commonly used in online buisness. for examples ebay etc..
Yes, I was thinking that the “e” would’ve been the best one.
I think “e” would worth more since it can be taken as “electronic”.

Favourite Domain name extension?


What is Your favourite Domain name extension?

Mine is .com as well, with .info being my second favorite.

depends.. I like .com names, but if I was to make a information site, I would use .info

Undoubtedly, .com is always the king.

I only buy .com domains

My favourite extension will always be .com, but most of the time, I will still register .ca, .net, and .org variations of the domain.

.com if i can find a nice name but .net is fine.

.com no doubt.

Web Hosting Prices Continue to Go Down


In the past, websites were hosted by local ISP’S or internet service providers. Only the larger companies had their own websites. However, things have changed dramatically. Today, not only the medium-sized and smaller companies have websites but also most individuals have their own websites.

A lot of businesses now thrive online and many individuals have their own websites, as more and more information become available on the internet. A lot of work-from-home businesses are catching on. Truly, the internet has and is continuously changing the business scene.

The impression that one would get from studying the latest trends would be that the web hosting future looks as bright as ever. Web hosting would certainly be a place of competition for market shares. Everyday, more and more businesses, regardless of their sizes, plan to build, improve and maintain web presence and visibility. These changes would be beneficial for the well-managed web hosts.

And because of this competition, the prices for packages continues to go down so that providers would be able to stay ahead of their game and to attract more clients. Although features matter a lot, most people still see the price first when searching for web hosts.

In the coming years, these providers would definitely offer services and features that would be beneficial to consumers, as doing so would make sure that their company would stay profitable and viable in an extremely competitive market.

Renew your Domain names


How long before expiration do you renew your names?

On important names, a couple of months, on less important, about one month…

3 to 4 weeks on names I’m sure to keep.Go up to the last day on some that I am not sure of dropping.

usually several days before expiration.

Usually about a week before expiration, most (maybe all) add the remaining time onto the extra year or whatever you pay for anyway, so no point hanging on if you dont need to.
