Most Asked Questions
1) Q:
What exactly is a domain name?
A
domain name is your website address. It can also be your email address
as well. By having a domain name, you are represented around the
world with your own personal Internet identity. Only you will have
that unique name brand. No two parties can ever hold the same web
address simultaneously. There is only one domain name each.
Never, ever, will there be another.
2) Q:
Instead of buying a domain, why not just register a new name instead?
You
could. Domain names are being registered by the thousands every single
day. But thousands of names are also being abandoned and not renewed every
single day. The reason is simple. With more than 1.8 billion
people now on the Internet, whatever name is still available has to be
junk or it wouldn't be available! No one will take any company seriously
that has a junk name for their Web site. The Internet is now a very
competitive place. It's a proven fact having the right name especially a keyword domain can make
all the difference.
3) Q:
What are KeyWord Domains?
Everyday millions of buying prospects surf the net via search engines like Google and Yahoo. Marketing test by Google has shown that most people type in specific keywords looking for information on centain products or services. If you own a keyworded domain with or close to that which propects are typing in the browser then more than likely your page will be shown near or at the top of the 1rst page providing that you have added backlinks, keywords on your page and a live Anchor text at the bottom of your page. The important thing to keep in mind is that it is much less costly to have your page ranked high on the 1rst page with a keyworded domain and the savings over pay-per-click advertising can be astronomical. Over 50% of the searches click on the #1 spot.
4) Q:
Are your prices negotiable?
Yes, but please remember, our keyword domains are in high demand. There may be an offer or two in the same day for the same domain name.
Also, unlike auctions, we own all of our domains which enables us to consider any reasonable offer at or above 70% which will be considered. But most of the time we are increasing our prices to keep up with demand! The Internet is doubling in size every year. Around
the world, over 70,000 new users join the Internet everyday! Memorable, attractive, and professional looking names are now necessary for success. Keep in mind that a good name can easily pay for itself in a short time and become a valuable asset as well. You can sell it whenever you wish.
5) Q:
What advantage is there to own more than one domain name?
Having
multiple domains gives you greater visibility. Successful companies
use additional names to promote and highlight their individual products
and services. Extra names also increase your potential to be listed and
found via multiple methods in search engines. By creating unique
advertising with attractive names, they can target localized markets for
extra business.
6) Q:
Are there any extra or hidden fees when purchasing a name from you?
None.
No extra fees at all. The price we have listed, is the full and complete
one-time cost. The transfer and escrow fees are already included
in our price. The only cost you will encounter later is the basic
registration renewal fee. You do not pay that to us. That fee
is charged by the registrar that the name is registered through. The yearly fee ranges
from $11 to $15 in price depending on what official registrar you use.
Every domain owner must pay their registration renewal to maintain ownership
of the name. Those minimal fees are what pays for the governing of the Internet!
7) Q:
Do I have complete and exclusive ownership once I purchase the name?
Yes.
There are no strings attached. Once you approve and finalize the
escrow ownership transfer, you have complete control and exclusive ownership
of the domain name. It will be ready to start working for you.
You can also just park it, or sell it to anyone else at anytime.
The name is totally yours!
8) Q:
How quickly can I start using the name after purchasing it?
Almost
immediately if you have a GoDaddy account. If you are just forwarding the name to another site, it takes only seconds. If you wish to use the name instead for a new website, it may take up to 12 hours for the global servers to update to the settings of your hosting provider.
9) Q:
What happens if I purchase a name, but don't have my website ready?
Don't
worry, there's no rush. You can simply park it, or make a free
simple webpage using your control panel, or just forward the name to another
site. As long as your registration is kept current you can take as
much time as you need. Since a domain name requires no maintenance
and never wears out, it makes an excellent investment.
10) Q:
Are there extra domain services included or available?
There
are both a number of free and pay options. The free services are
domain name forwarding, email forwarding, DNS control, simple website and
hosting, parking page, security lock, auto-renew, plus an easy to use control
panel. Some of the pay services are commercial web hosting, eCommerce website
creation, Secure Socket Certificates (SSL), POP email, and ID Protect. All of these services are provided by
the current Registrar where the name is registered.
11) Q:
What does domain or URL "Forwarding" mean?
Forwarding
a domain name is a free option that enables you to redirect incoming traffic
from one name to a different name that already has an existing Web site.
That way, when someone accesses your domain, he or she is automatically
sent to that other site or even to a specific page you wish them to go
to.
12) Q:
What does the extra feature of "Framing" do?
Forwarding
using the free URL "Framing" option, prevents visitors from knowing
that they have been redirected to a different website name. Your
forwarded domain name remains in the visitor's browser's address bar when
he/she is being redirected. Thus concealing the actual destination
address. The "Forwarding with Framing" option also enables you to add a title bar, a description, and Meta tag keywords to the masked site. Title and Meta tag information is important to a Web site’s search engine ranking without influencing how a Web site is being displayed.
13)
Q: How can my domain name be used as an email address?
In your Control Panel, simply create the email addresses you want using your new domain name. Here's some examples: Info@YourDomain,, Sales@YourDomain, John@YourDomain, SpecialToday@YourDomain. The free email forwarding option will automatically redirect those addresses to any existing mailboxes you already have. Create them for business,
others for fun and personal use. Remember, your email addresses will always be completely portable. Never lose contact with those listing you in their address book. No need to notify everyone of your email address change. If you change your primary email provider, you simply
redirect your domain email addresses to your new email account. By using your domain as a contact email address, it clearly tells everyone you're in business!
14) Q:
Do you provide hosting services?
No,
we just specialize in unique domain names. The Registrar which our
names are registered through does offer hosting packages including a basic
website with free hosting. There are other companies that deal exclusively
in the business of webhosting. We personally use and highly recommend: Godaddy with 24/7 tech support. They are the #1 Registrar in the world and their uptime record can't be beat!
15) Q:
How do I connect my domain name to the hosting company where my website will be?
Using
your Godaddy domain Control Panel and Manager, choose "DNS server settings".
Then simply submit or modify the domain name servers (DNS) to the addresses
provided by your hosting provider. There are usually two DNS addresses
required and they will look similar to this: NS1.yourhost.net
and NS2.yourhost.net. Your hosting company can tell you what
exact DNS addresses are needed to add your domain to your
existing hosting
account.
16) Q:
What if I want to change and transfer the name to another Registrar?
No
problem! You can transfer the name to any other domain registrar
that you wish without any penalty. All paid registration time is
preserved and is transferred as well. Simple instructions are provided
in your Godaddy Domain Control Panel on how to unlock the security protection
and allow the name to be transferred to another registrar. No paperwork
is involved and your web hosting settings stay intact without interruption.
