How To Get Your Website At The Top?


Author:Arvind Prakash Sharma
So, you have built your own website about your business and truly believe that this is the right channel to drive all the ‘right kind of business queries’ to you? Is it right? Perhaps not! Building a website is not just about cement and mortar, it takes lots and pots of thought process to know who your target audience is and what you want to achieve out from your website. A good web design and a web host company can certainly do wonders. On the contrary, it may be just the other way around. It is imperative to know how you should build your website and actually know what your web hosting company is offering you. In today’s world nobody wants to be cheated!

Among so many web host companies, choosing the right one becomes really tough. There are few factors that need to be checked before hiring any such service provider that are:

Reliability– It’s not a common nonsense people speak when they say that few websites just would not open! After all, the websites, perhaps, are not to be blamed - the web hosting companies that are hosting the sites may be the culprit. It is always better to do some research work about the hosting company to know how many customers they provide their services to and their uptime guarantee. You would no t want your company’s website to be part of a common man’s gossip!

Speed, Space and Bandwidth– Speed does matter – especially when someone has to access your website and download the stuff you want them to. It is absolutely imperative to find out about your website hosting server’s speed – no body would appreciate a congested and clogged network. Also, to build a website and hosting it, a server requires dedicating a certain amount of space. It would be wise to know and confirm the amount of space the server is providing, and also the facility of increasing the space. Bandwidth also plays a crucial role for the betterment of your website. It is simply not wise to go for a limited and a fixed bandwidth. When it comes to your website, ensure that you have all the specifications you require, from sub-domains, databases and scripting language support, to the platform on which the website will be hosted on.

Security– This is one of the top-most concerns while choosing a website hosting company for your website. Viruses, spams, worms, trojan horses etc., can unleash a monster that can devastate your website as well as your business. You would not want to spend your night thinking and worrying about such factors! It is important to check out your web host company’s security features. What tools and features your website host company provides, will determine the overall security of your website. Most of us get sick and tired of unlimited number of unwanted mails. So it’s better to check how your hosting company filters the unwanted or ‘spam’ messages. Few sites blacklisted by major search engine companies should not be hosted by the website hosting company, you plan to choose. There can be serious repercussions just due to those sites being hosted by your web host server (your own website may be blacklisted!).

Control Panel provided by the website hosting company - Being a website owner, the onus lies on you to manage the web server provided by your web host company, install scripts and facilitate other services like email etc. A good control panel would give you a tool to control access to your website, create and configure mailboxes, sub-domains, parked domains, ftp accounts, files, etc.

Geographic location of the web host server – It’s a bit weird to think that the geographic location of the website host server might actually affect your site ranking. However, if we look at the complexities of the ways a search engine ranks your site; it is definitely going to be an eye opener! The search engines know where your Web site is hosted, and they are ranking your site according to domain extension and website (server) geographic location. Otherwise why would we have websites with sitename.co.uk, sitename.com, sitename.co.in etc.!

Add-on SEO help – Some hosting companies provide you with SEO help facilities, reducing the costs of hiring a SEO expert to incorporate SEO features in your websites to get a good ranking in the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. This facility can be a good add-on to get the traffic to your site going smooth and strong.

What are Domain Name Servers?


Author: Carolyn Clayton
When you open a new Internet page and you type in your website address do you ever wonder what goes on to ensure that you are taken to your desired site? Every time you use the Internet or send an email you are using a domain name to do it and it is through what is known as a domain name server that the domain name and website appears on your screen.

A domain name is the address that people use in order to find you or your company online. It is this domain name that you type into the browser’s address bar to take you to a specific website. Domain names are easy for us to remember but they prove hard for a computer to read. A computer cannot read the words of a domain name; they read numbers instead. These numbers are known as an IP address. Computers use these IP addresses to locate a website, for example a website called domain.com would be known as a series of numbers such as 214.182.103.150. So how do these numbers get changed into a domain name to take you to your desired website? Basically every time you type in a domain name you are using what is known as a domain name server (DNS) to translate the websites IP address into a domain name.

A domain name server is a database and is like no other. This is because no other database gets this many requests sent to it and no other has millions of people continually changing it every day; it is aspects such as these that make this database unique.

Most of us are using domain name servers without even realising it, merely by just using a search engine or browsing through sites on the Internet you are sending requests to a domain name server in order for it to translate the IP address into a domain name. Domain name servers, or DNS, are an incredibly important but completely hidden part of the Internet, and many people often find domain name servers very fascinating. The DNS system forms one of the largest and most active distributed databases on the planet. We don’t actually realise how much we actually rely on domain name servers as without them the Internet would shut down very quickly.

The task of translating domain names to IP addresses sounds like a relatively simple task but you should remember:

• There are billions of IP addresses currently in use, and most machines have a human-readable name as well
• There are many billions of DNS requests made every day, even a single person can easily make a hundred or more DNS requests a day, and there are hundreds of millions of people and computers using the Internet daily
• Domain names and IP addresses change daily
• New domain names get created daily
• Millions of people do the work to change and add domain names and IP addresses every day

Domain name servers are highly important to the Internet and it serves as a phone book for the Internet.

Understanding Web-Hosting: Selecting an Ideal Server

Author: Smit
Web Hosting is a process of providing customers with servers that are connected to the Internet, enabling them to display their websites pertaining to their private or professional businesses. With the growing age of the Internet, it has become vitally important for individuals, to expand their network online. But choosing a Web Host is certainly not an easy task; mainly because of the availability of the many and the varied services offered by each web hosting provider. Thus it becomes imperative to match your essential requirements with the amenities provided by your Web-Host.

The foremost factors that one must keep in mind pertain to the web-host's reliability and technical efficiency. Differently put, services such as security, disk storage capacity and maintenance facilities should be ensured. Whether your Web Hosting provider is laced with an online SSL security certification and a powerful Spam Filter or not, must be made certain of. It is essential in order to safeguard your data from viruses and hackers. A satisfactory level of bandwidth (a tool that manages the internet traffic rate) must also be obtained to guarantee the fast speed of the website. You should also make sure that your service provider also offers sufficient data storage capacity, as per your pre-requisite; along with a 24/7 live email service with technical maintenance. Other services that one must look for include, scripting support (ability to run scripts on the server), uptime and backup services in case of accidental deletion.

Any Web Hosting service can broadly be characterized into two categories, namely Shared Hosting and Dedicated Hosting. The former refers to the involvement of one server with many other websites. Its basic advantage is its low cost, but at the cost of speed and efficiency. As many websites share a single server, it tends to slow down. However, shared hosting is advisable for the sites with expected low traffic. The latter, on the other hand, refers to an exclusive server for the website, which is best suited for the sites that expect high traffic.

Further, when it comes to web hosting, Australia, Europe, Canada, US and such developed countries distinctly enjoy a niche technological advantage over their third world counterparts for obvious reasons. However, much technological advancements have already taken place in this area across the globe, rendering the entire gamut of web hosting services significantly affordable in any part of the world. In fact, the extensive popularity gained by Internet in the recent few years bears enough testimony to the fact.

Understanding the concept of Web Hosting

Author:Smit
Web host services allow individuals and organizations to create their websites via the World Wide Web. The hosting companies connect their web servers to the internet. They are kept in a physical center called ‘data center’, which has a 24/7 secure environment complete with HVAC temperature control, virus detection software, excellent backup, as well, as disaster recovery capabilities.

Organizations that prefer web host services independently have to incur huge expenses and require the latest technology. Choosing a professional web hosting service is more viable than hosting a site independently.

Web host services generally come with two options - a free web host service and a paid web host service. While free web host services are good option, but there are chances of unnecessary advertisements popping up and distracting visitors. A paid web host service, on the other hand, is more popular with recommended features, such as, a 24 hour technical support, POP3 email accounts, CGI-Bin access and a minimum of 20MB disk space.

Web host services are classified in three main categories:

a.Shared web hosting
b.Dedicated web hosting
c.Reseller web hosting

a.Shared hosting:
Shared web hosting is used by many businesses as well as hobbyists all around the world. Shared hosting is relatively inexpensive, as several websites share the same server. In other words, websites reside on a same server with the costs shared between the individuals on the server. Most website owners create their own script using PHP JavaScript and HTML.

b.Dedicated hosting:
In dedicated hosting, an individual has his own server and does not share space with any other website. The best advantage of a dedicated hosting service is the option to host multiple websites on the same server. The individual also has this option to handle site traffic, configure software and even scale the bandwidth.

c.Reseller hosting:
Reseller hosting involves individuals selling their hosting space further. Reseller hosting is for those who want to start a business and offer shared hosting to their customers. Resellers include web consultants, such as, web designers, and web developers. Most reseller hosting companies require a dedicated server for this service.

Further, there are two platforms for hosting a website - Windows and Linux. Among these two, Linux hosting is becoming a popular choice among organizations. Since Linux is a free operating system, Linux hosting is quite economical and much more secured.

Do you understand the importance of Domain Names Servers?

Author:Carolyn Clayton
Whenever you spend time on the Internet whether you are browsing or sending an email you are making use of a domain name server without even being consciously aware of it. Even though the work done by a domain name server is hidden it is extremely important as without domain name servers the Internet would shut down very rapidly.

A domain name server acts as a phone book for the Internet by translating computer host names such as www.example.com into an IP address. Translating domain names into IP addresses sounds like a simple task but due to the fact there are billions of IP addresses currently in use and most computers have a human readable name as well as the fact there are a billions of DNS requests made every day, for example a single person can easily make a hundred or more DNS requests a day and domain names and IP addresses change daily as well as the fact millions of new domain names get created daily, this simple task can turn a lot more complicated than first anticipated. A domain name server is also a database but it is a database that is unlike any other as it gets many requests and has millions of people changing it everyday, which is what makes it unique.

Each domain name consists of two parts - the Mid Level Domain (MLD), and the Top Level Domain (TLD). The Mid Level Domain is the Ford in Ford.com, the Concrete-Home in Concrete-Home.com. This part of the domain name can consist of up to 63 characters in .com, .net, or .org domains. Only letters, numbers, or hyphens are permitted; no underbars, exclamation marks or periods. The Top Level Domain refers to the .com, .net, or .org part of the web address. It is the mid level domain name that these domain name servers work on and change into an IP address in order for your web site address request to be noted and found.

As well as being able to direct you to the website that you wish to visit, a domain name server, known in short as DNS also stores other information such as a list of mail servers that accept email for a given domain. By providing a worldwide keyword-based redirection service, the Domain Name System is an essential component of contemporary Internet use.

The Domain Name Server distributes the responsibility for assigning domain names and mapping them to IP networks by allowing an authoritative name server for each domain to keep track of its own changes, avoiding the need for a central register to be continually consulted and updated. Above all, the DNS makes it possible to assign domain names to organizations independent of the physical routing hierarchy represented by the numerical IP address. Because of this, hyperlinks and Internet contact information can remain the same, whatever the current IP routing arrangements may be, and can take a human-readable form (such as "example.com").

Domain name servers make it possible for us to use the Internet for browsing purposes, purchasing purposes and sending emails. Whatever you use the Internet for you will be using the help of a domain name server.

Create your space with web hosting

Author:Smit
Web hosting is a sort of Internet facility that permits organizations and individuals to have their own website accessibility through the World Wide Web. The companies that offer space on a server with Internet connectivity are known as Web hosts or Web hosting providers.

Among the wide-ranging exploits of web hosting, web page and small-scale file hosting has been rated as the most basic one, wherein files are uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web Interface.

Personal web site hosting comes generally free, while the business web site hosting entails comparatively higher expense. For personal web pages, a single page hosting is more than enough. On the contrary, a complex site necessitates a more intense package that offers database support and application development platforms like PHP, Java, and ASP.NET.

Web hosting is generally presented as part of a general Internet access plan, and you can come across several schemes of free and paid web hosting providers providing these services. It entirely depends upon a customer to decide what kind of hosting to use. Reaching to a certain decision comprises of considering database server software, scripting software, and operating system. Majority of the web hosting providers endow with Linux-based web hosting that provides a thick array of different software. If you look at a basic configuration for a Linux server, you will get to know concepts like the LAMP platform: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/ Perl /Python.

The web hosting client can expect to comprise the services, like email for their business domain, databases or multi-media services for streaming media. Besides, a customer might well make up his/ her mind for having Windows for its hosting platform. The customer would have PHP, Perl, and Python, and also go with ASP .Net or Classic ASP for the purpose of facilitating website development. Generally, a Web Content Management System is included in Web hosting packages. This reduces the worry of the end-users about the more technical aspects.

Web hosting providers can also provide allied services, like monthly backups, web design services and domain registration, apart from doling out even conference rooms in their data centers.

What can Web Hosting do for you?

Author:Carlyn Clayton
Within the society that we live in today, having your own piece of the Internet has become a need for many individuals and a must for most businesses. This is not to become competitive but as a way of surviving in the business world. If you want to take part in the Internet as a business, information resource or directory to name just a few then you have to have your own website; you need to be in control of your own piece of cyberspace.

Web hosting can strangely be compared to renting a property. This is because when you are renting a property you have your landlord to turn to if anything were to go wrong just as when you are using a web hosting company you have technical support on hand to help you if anything were to go wrong with your website or if you didn’t understand one aspect of it. It is the process of housing, serving and maintaining files that make up a website. Web hosting removes the need of you having to provide and maintain expensive and complicated servers. A web host is the business of providing server space for your website.

Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data centre. Web hosts can also provide data centre space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data centre, which is known as colocation.

The type of web hosting that you decide upon depends on aspects such as the size of your website and the use of your website. Single page hosting is generally sufficient if your website is for personal use; however if you have a more complex site you will be in need of a more comprehensive package that provides database support and application development platforms (e.g. PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, and ASP.NET).

Having your website hosted offers many benefits over free space offered by ISPs, such as:

• Support for more advanced features such as CGI, PERL, ASP, PHP etc.
• You can use your domain name as your web address instead of the long and often hard to remember ISP/free space one
• You can use your domain to send and receive e-mail
• You are not sharing the Servers resources with 1000's of other users

The web hosting service provider may also provide an interface or control panel for managing the Web server and installing scripts as well as other services like e-mail. Some hosts specialise in certain software or services (e.g. e-commerce). They are commonly used by larger companies to outsource network infrastructure to a hosting company. To find a web hosting company, searchable directories can be used; however it should be noted that you must be extremely careful when searching for a new company because many of the people promoting service providers are actually affiliates and the reviews are biased.

Web Hosting and Web Site Launch


Author: Dmitry Nekrasov
A web site is the most effective as well as cost effective way to advertise about your product and company in the large global market. There are many web hosting companies providing world class Internet base to our customers along with other web hosting services like, website design and email service.

Why web hosting service?

Web hosting service is the service which will launch your website on the World Wide Web and make you available to the online users as well. There are two kinds of web hosting services, the ones which can be availed free of cost, and the ones which are paid web hosting services. A free web hosting service, as the name suggests, is the web hosting service which will launch your company website without paying any fees to the service provider but the website of the company will be, in that case, bound to present the advertisement and banners of the web hosting company.

Moreover, a user is not provided with customer service, and is not provided uptime guarantee. The limitations on bandwidth, advertising and edit sites may hamper the growth plans of a company.

Thus, it is advisable that you pay for the web hosting service. However, a user should take into consideration his needs before selecting a web hosting service provider.

These companies will be powered through advertisements. Most of the free hosting services will go to the personal web pages as they may not need too much data base support.

Next we can look at the shared web hosting, where a web site will be hosted on the same server as many other sites. It may number from a hundred to many thousands. The server resources will be common in this case. In contrast to this there is the clustered hosting, where several servers will host the same web page.

This will be done to make the utilization of the resources much better. Then there is the managed web hosting. This will allow an individual to host his own web page, but he will not be given total control of the server. The users will not be allowed to modify this, as they may change the configuration settings. In this case the server will be leased to the client and they will not be allowed to own it.

The opposite of this is the dedicated web hosting. With this, the user will be given complete control of the server, and he will be responsible for the management of the web page. Most people who know what they need to know about web hosting, will go in for this option. The virtual dedicated web hosting is very interesting.

Only certain facilities will be provided for the user with this hosting like the Internet, and storage. As with all services, these web hosting types can be researched before picking the right one.

The Internet provides all the necessary information, for both simple and complicated web pages. Those who are not familiar with the types can gain access to the information through this method.

Reliable Webhosting Tips


Author: David Butler
Well who doesn't want a reliable web host! Duh! But finding one is easier said than done. Just ask any of the thousands of web site owners who have had their sites crash due to poor web hosting services.

Knowing how to get reliable web hosting is imperative especially for small businesses that rely on a steady flow of traffic for publicity, leads and sales. It constantly amazing me how many businesses and webmasters put so much time in building a website, but spend very little time researching reliable web hosting providers.

By the way, would you recognize a reliable web hosting provider when you saw one? Well, we’ve put together the following reliable web hosting tips to help you avoid some of the same mistakes I made when looking for a reliable shared web hosting package.

Reliable web hosting means the provider should have an up time guarantee of over 99.9%. Bottom line-what good is having a website if people can’t find it when they want to?. A reliable web hosting company will not have its servers breaking down every time you turn around.

Reliable web hosting means the company will not take your site offline (even for a few minutes) before giving you fair warning. For example, with many cheap shared web hosting providers, the company will take your site offline without warning if you use a certain percentage of CPU power on the shared server. This actually happened to me with what I thought was a reliable web hosting provider. One day my traffic spiked (a good thing), but my shared web hosting company kept taking my site down every twenty minutes or so for 5 minutes at a clip. Can you imagine all the traffic and potential customers I missed? Ouch! Part of the problem was that I really didn’t know how to choose a reliable web host. Therefore, before settling in on one reliable web hosting provider, we recommend that you carefully read the Terms of Service (TOS) on its site. If they don’t have a TOS on their site, just keep shopping. If you’re still not satisfied, contact one of the sales reps to go over the TOS.

Reliable web hosting will have 24/7 tech support that actually knows what they are doing. Many so called reliable web hosting businesses boast “around the clock” support. But availability does not equal reliability. Especially for non tech types, it’s important to have folks on the other end of the line that are familiar with your CPanel, blogging software, web design or other issues related to your site. Additionally, if the potential reliable web hosting provider has well visited forum with categorized advice, consider this a plus.

Reliable Web Hosting Providers will have happy customers. Perhaps the most powerful reliable web hosting tip, we recommend doing a “google” search of that discount web hosting you looking into, and see what others are saying about it.

Overall, finding a reliable web hosting provider is essential for building

It is very difficult to select and indeed to find dependable web hosting service provider and for this, you should consider a range of things such as functional peculiarities of web hosting provider, its stability, reliability, and secure work of its web servers.

How does the process of placement of your web site in the Internet look like? Web site hosting constitutes the final stage of your web site working out; at this you choose the place where your website will “inhabit”. For sure the best way will be to choose paid web hosting services. It is necessary if your web site is essential for you and it is even more important if your web site is commercial or business project. You may get Linux web hosting services or web hosting on any other server platform, for example Windows. You get qualified technical service, fast speed of your website load, you will not be liable to place any advertising stuff of web hosting company on it. More over, if you chose paid web hosting service, the attendees of your website will trust you more than if you chose free hosting service.

So here there could be two possible scenarios:

1) You already have your personal web site and domain name registered and your website was hosted elsewhere previously. You determined to transfer your existing web site to any other web-hosting provider. How should you act now? And how to reduce downtime of your website (the time when your website will not be available in the WWW? When you have already selected your future web-hosting provider you should

a) Choose if you will transfer domain name registration service to your new web-hosting provider or will leave domain name management at your registrar place;
b) If you want to control web hosting and domain name registration service from one place make sure that the chosen web hosting provider accepts domain name registration transfer;
c) Ask web-hosting provider about its name servers. Now after you buy web-hosting account you may start placement of your web site.

We recommend changing name servers for your domain name right away since name servers change will require DNS update and this may take from 24 to 72 hours. During this time your web site will not be accessible to public view using its name. But, with web hosting account we will provide you with dedicated IP address and can start to manage your website and upload your web site content (via FTP client software for instance) via IP address assigned to your domain name.

2) The second scenario takes place when you have just taken determination about on-line existence. With web hosting account we will provide you with professional web site builder that will allow you to build your web site in about half an hour. To put your web site in the web you should register a domain name and upload your website to the web server (if you have made it in FrontPage or if you have your web site files on your hard disk) or publish web site of you made it with help of site builder.

Please note that domain name registration will take about 24 hours and when they expire you can access your site using its name. In the meantime your website should be fully functional and accessible through IP address assigned to your domain name.

Web Development – Choosing platform ‘Linux OR Windows’


Author: Maneet Puri
If you will talk about developing a website with anyone, apart from gathering information about the type of website you need, an important (mandatory) question will come – “do you have any preference for the technology to be used for deploying this website?”

Most of the time answer is a question back “What do you suggest?”, reason being clients are not tech savvy so they really do not understand this question. And it’s logical too, if I am associated with implementing the technology I can better understand this question and directly say .NET or PHP as the answer, but if I am a cloth merchant looking for a website this question will sound like Greek to me.

Now here the service provider takes the advantage that they suggest the technology in which they expertise, rather it should be decided depending upon the nature of the application to be deployed, scope of the future enhancements and to an extent the budget the client has allotted for the same. While talking about deploying web based applications Linux and Windows are the most popular platforms. Now depending upon the platform of the server on which the site is to be hosted defines the options of the scripting languages and the database servers that can be used for developing the application. If we talk about Linux as the platform the most commonly used scripting languages includes – PHP, CGI, Perl, Python etc. For Windows platform the scripting languages used are ASP, ASP.NET, C#, Cold Fusion etc. For the database servers Linux offers support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase etc and MS SQL Server, MS Access, Oracle are the database servers of choice for Windows platform. Its not mandatory that these are the categorizations for the scripting languages and database servers for the said platforms, the scripting languages for Linux also come for as Windows binary and visa versa.

Though there are certain differences among these two as listed below, but both of them are platforms of choice for deploying functionality rich web based applications: -

- Linux is an open source freeware whereas Windows is a Microsoft brand.
- Additional components for Linux are generally free whereas the components for Windows need to be purchased.
- Linux is considered to be more virus proof then Windows
- Web space for Linux being freeware is less costly then Windows
- The cost of Linux web space includes the cost for database server whereas for windows if MS SQL server is opted it costs additional.

For the purposes of listing factors to choose which platform, we can say: -

- The budget the client has for hosting.
- If the specific requirement requires a specific component then identifying weather it is available with Windows or Linux
- If the size of database is going to be huge MS SQL sever is preferred because of the additional features it offers for the data management.
- Both Linux and Windows are equally reliable and robust, but yes on Windows special software are required for providing safety from hackers and non-authentic access.
- Is the client specific about brand then Windows is the only choice.

Thus to conclude, both these platform are platforms of choice for deploying feature rich websites and offer flexibilities of deploying interactive and data rich websites.

Some Common Myths Against Domain


Author: Richa Sinha
Lawyers eat nails for breakfast. Rap is Etch-a-Sketch set to music. The Law of Unintended Consequences governs the nation. These beliefs are part of a canon of urban folklore that we spread as truth among our friends. Applicants for domain names have developed their own myths. Some have been repeated so often, they sound true. Those untold information is what this paper is going to tell you.

Myth One: Always Pick .Com Domain Name

It is always asked a person to go for .com domain name. The domain ending with .com is easy to remember, as they are the most common name but not necessary the best. For one thing, there are many domain names ending in .com so it’s really hard to find a domain name ending with one. Picking a .com is good depending on how you are gaining traffic. If you are targeting people that are looking in search engines it can be pointless to just pick a .com domain. Though if you are advertising in Television, Newspapers or the Radio it might help somewhat.

Myth Two: Avoid Using Dashes Or Never Go For That

Once again, this all depends on what you are doing. Remember, search engines translate dashes as spaces, so if you are targeting a popular keyword and use dashes as spaces, than your page will be easier to get onto the top ten search results of that keyword. Some search engines put more emphasis on this than others. So avoiding dashes or not applying anywhere in the domain name can be a fruitful option for you.
Myth Three: Selecting A Domain Name
Choosing a domain name may be a pain, many may prefer domain names that are short but they are not necessarily better. Its true you don’t want a domain name that is extremely long but you don’t want it to be so short that nobody can remember it (unless you own a url forwarding service). There are many combinations of words you can use. It is highly suggested checking a domain name generator. They can be very useful, you enter a keyword and it displays possible combinations with other words and tells you if they’re available.

Myth Four: Domain Used Forever.

While it’s possible that you’ll keep your registered domain name forever, it is not guaranteed. Several things can happen that would cause you to lose your domain name. First, you have to register your domain name each year (or register it for multiple years up front) in order to keep your access to it. If you forget to renew your registration, you could lose your domain name, or someone else can register it and charge you a huge fee to have it transferred back to your name. Second, you could lose your domain name in a trademark dispute.

Myth Five: Domain Registration Through Company Name

You cannot use your company name for the domain registration; in fact, you don’t have the right to register any domain name, even if you have a trademark on the corresponding company name. The reason for this is that a trademark on a business name doesn’t give you exclusive access to use that name. It only gives you exclusive access to use that name for the particular products and / or services that you offer.
