Value of other extensions


Lets say I have a location names like

Newyork.info
Newyork.org
Newyork.net
Newyork.us

If one of them is 100% of the value, what will be the value of other extensions?

Newyork.info 90%
Newyork.us 100% (if location is in America, obviously)
Newyork.org 75%
Newyork.net 30% (.net sucks for location type sites/domains)

With your example newyork I would rank as follows.

newyork.us
newyork.org
newyork.info
newyork.net

newyork.us will be best

No question in my view that newyork.org is far and away the best.

I think that .info is much stronger for locations.

.net doesn’t go that well with location/city names as compared to .info, .net is best suited for commercial and networking related sites. Even .org doesn’t match that well for a city name unless ofcourse it’s for an organisation based in that particular city.

Best Website Hosting is One That’s Reliable


If you are looking for a solid, reliable web host, it’s important to look online for recommendations of reliable web hosting companies. Cpwebhosting is a big name in web hosting that you can feel comfortable trusting your hosting to.

If you have an online business that you are looking for hosting for, it’s important to find a web host that has 99% uptime. If you have a business that’s making $100 or more a day in sales, it’s a big deal if your host is down for even a few hours.

As a business owner, you have probably spent your time and money marketing your business to get visitors to your website and the last thing you want is for the customers to finally come and then find that your site is down and leave, forever.

An important factor when looking for a web host online is price. The cost of losing sales if your host goes down for a few hours can make the monthly cost you are paying for hosting seem insignificant.

Make sure when you buy your hosting, that it has all of the features your website will need support for. What programming languages are used in your website, PHP? SSI? Make sure your host supports these languages before you sign up. Every host will have a list on their website of supported programming languages. If you are going to be using Microsoft FrontPage to build your website, you will want to make sure that FrontPage plug-ins are offered by the web host.

Also, make sure the package offers enough disc space for your site. If your website is small, under a couple hundred pages, the most basic packages will probably have more than enough space for your website.

Best extension(s) best investing


Which extension(s) best for investing.

put your opinion here.

My preference is

1. .com
2. .net
3 .org
4. .info

I think .ca names the best for investment percentage wise. You still register pretty good names that will bring you 300% percent guaranteed during next 2 years

I personally think that .IN (country code for India) has potentia,Reasons for my view? (1) wide use of English; (2) growing economy and large proportion of tech savvy; (3) clear rules on access to registration and selling by folks outside the country; and (4) nice, short, pronounceable extension.

.com is leading from all extension.

.com could never be replaced as it is branded as the default internet address extension around the world. If you are using another extension other then .com, no matter how much you spend on branding your address with your extension, you will still be loosing visitors if you do not have the .com version.

As a traffic collector/seller I dont care about .ext and I register any extension domains which can bring traffic/revenue. So some predicitions about possible traffic/revenue a domain can give are more important for me than just investing in .ext itself.

.com is a good investment obviously.

After .com .cn and .in are also excellent investments considering their 1 billion+ populations each and the number of people using the internet in each of those countries is rising rapidly. I think .cc is one of the worst investments and the more extensions that come out the more it will decrease its value.

I find .com is the most valuable TLD. I think no one can really doubt that.

The Problem with Free Web Hosting Plans


when w choose a web host then there will be lot of problems comes we can discuss here some of them like jam of the traffic due to the bottom line in web hosting is that bandwidth costs money and if your plan is free it is most likely your bandwidth will be limited.

In almost every case free web hosting plans do not allow you to point a domain name (www.yoursite.com) to an actual page. Instead you are forced to use a concept called URL redirection. URL redirection allows a webmaster to identify a site that the URL should point to.

free web hosting is not the way to go it is possible to find a free web host that works for you. There are some out there that do not force advertising, do not limit your bandwidth, and will allow pointed domains.

There are some drawbacks for customers who have taken free web hosting. The company which is providing free web hosting may be advertising space or other products for which a customer has to pay alongside. There should be sufficient bandwidth and data according to the customer’s needs and there is also a possibility of upgradation to paid package in nearby future. Generally companies are providing “unlimited” bandwidth but usually traffic will be completed and this will be charged for exceeding the “unlimited” transfer amount. If company is offering “unlimited data” then customer need not get distracted with this offer as if customer is making website without video or music then it need less than 20 GB of disk space.

Best new TLD


Which new TLD do you personally like the best?

I like .biz, .info is to long in my opinion.

.biz is the best in my opinion.

.biz for its commercial appeal.

My preference is

1. .biz
2. .tv
3. .cc
4. .info
5. .ws

.info is best all of them.
.biz sounds unprofessional to me, sounds like a slang term and I don’t think corporates will adopt it.

I hate to say it but .biz is the best in my opinion out of that batch.
In my opinion they are all pointless, what’s wrong with .com, .net and .org.
Yes, .com is evergreen domain name extension.

The Point Web Hosting Checklist


When we consider a web hosting company then it should mainly made up of different thing like first of all there should be a powerful technical support.

The other thing is that more uptime they guarantee, the better. 99% uptime is the minimum acceptable standard. I look for 99% plus guaranteed uptime.

Decide how much disk space you will require. A web page with one logo does not take up much web space at all. Calculate how big your web site is in relation to the disk space allotted.

The bandwidth is also important because this factor is usually overlooked until the bandwidth limit is reached. If you go over your allotted bandwidth, you will get a hefty bill. If you are running a site with lots of downloads, or a site with lots of images such at a photo post site, your bandwidth will be a lot higher than a site with mainly text.

.com.cn v/s. .cn


Is a .com.cn worth registering if it is a premium one worder? How frequently is this extension even used due to the .cn?

.com.cn is better

most of the domain player in China prefer: (.com then) .cn then .com.cn
as shorter is better!

Agree .com is the king .. followed by .cn and then .com.cn

If you want to use the .cn or .com.cn yourself,please choose .com.cn!But if you want to sell or buy ones,please choose .cn!

I like .cn personally.

.com.cn sounds professional whereas .cn sounds global!

.com.cn is better

But CNNIC have some rules and some methods to take back the domians if CNNIC want.

Niche Hosting


Niche hosting means an environment where hosting can be perfect so there The customer is the king. He is an individual and has his needs well defined. The internet maybe the Goliath, but each customer is the bird’s eye. The challenge for the web host is thus in finding the bird’s eye. Webhost need to create plans which suit the customer’s needs rather than just focusing on things like price, uptime, reliability, support and so onwhich are all important. At the same time all decent webhosts today can offer similar plans , prices, guarantees and support.

If the cheapest host offered the best features and the maximum bandwidth and disk space. Finally, we concluded that the largest host would be the cheapest host with the maximum bandwidth and diskspace, with the greatest support and this host would have ads all over the place. This may actually work out for many, but the Return of Investment (ROI) may take more than a life-time.

webmasters only. Webmasters generally have more than one site. Hosting is not their prime business and they want an affordable solution.

a .com or a .ws?


I am a Comp Eng major and I am developing this small tool which I will be selling for a small fee. I need a domain name for my “company”. Ok so I am between two available choices: either a 8 letter .com or a 4 letter .ws .. which one do you think I should go for??
I think .com will be best.
Neither.

Take both the .info and .biz

.com is king and will be for a long long time. The others are for those unable to acquire the .com.
.biz is the ultimate in cheese wiz
no choice. .com

.ws means worth shit (actually means western samoa)

Take any open global domain (com,net,org,info,biz) if you want to sell globally, or a .us if you want to be associtiated with the US market.
I’d avoid repurposed Country code domains. For a busines .com is preferrable even if longer, but .biz a second choice.
