I bought a domain name for resell. domain name is www.lankadotnet.com.
but until i want to make a site with this domain. main purpose is SEO and attract some visitors. please suggest me the best thing to do with this domain. what kind of site I should start.
PS: I not going to keep this domain with me. my main propose is sell the domain. and I’m mainly targeting Sri Lankan crowed.
I am skilled in web design. I want to start a business. I don’t want to make my own personal blog or website. I want to create a website that people would go to, and a site that would actually make money. But, what kind of site?!
something like www.packshotfactory.co.uk or
www.wartenberg-photo.com ? would it be better to get a professional web hosting company or something easier like geocities? thx.
I have a domain name registered with Google (gdomains through godaddy).
I really love having everything handled through Google. I love the email, I’m used to the platform for my DNS settings, I like their file hosting, I have advertising credit, the registration price is perfect and includes 50 usernames and 90 CNAMES. The only thing is I really really don’t like the Google Sites hosting platform.
I know this isn’t ideal but I’m really not ready to do a full transfer to a new host. Basically I just want something that will allow me to redirect my already registered domain name to a basic webpage that I can create through the host site.
I have my own layout coded and everything and had my site up on Blogger, which was pretty close to how I want it in terms of features but it wasn’t giving me the freedom I wanted to add extra pages and things like that. To water it down my site is basically a “blog” but I need 5 separately archived pages so you can see how that would be a problem with something like Blogger. Especially with my CNAMES because blog sites don’t allow naked URLs.
I use Webs for free hosting on smaller projects but I’m not sure if I trust them with my domain, plus I can’t afford a premium package right now. I don’t need the extra storage space or any of the other perks of a package deal right away, I know if I start getting traffic I will need to upgrade but I already have more than enough assets through Google to get started.
If anyone has any suggestions or tips or even just hosting sites they would recommend that would be really helpful.
@ledfrog.com- Yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what I want to do, I just need to find a host that lets me do that.
I think my biggest issue right now is just the fact that most of the host sites I’m finding make me pay monthly for so many things that I’m already getting through Google for only $10 a year (like a domain name, subdomains, POP/IMAP email, image hosting, etc) and I don’t want to pay for all of it. I just want a place I can get my html up and start posting.
im planning to create a website right now on go daddy.
i have a few questions for the computer smartys out there:
1. for my domain name, the site is suggesting i buy the .info, .org, AND .com. is it really neccessary to buy all them or is .com enough?
2. for my web hosting, do i want linux or windows? and um..what is linux?
3. should i get the economy, deluxe, or premium plan? and should i pay for just a few months or a lot of them?
4. and is there anything else i should buy or think about or whatever before i get it??
so please try to help me out, if only with 1 or 2 of my questions.
I want a free website or web page that I can use as a homepage for my favorite web links, pictures and videos that I want to share, etc. I don’t know HTML, so it would have to have templates or something.
Somebody said that to have a website I needed a static ip, but can’t I have a domain name if I have a static ip?
I’m making a website for my father’s small business and I have a few questions about registering a domain name. I’ve built websites before, but never had my own domain name to work with and I’m a little confused.
My first question is where are the best – but also cheap – places to register a domain name? I am planning on using Yahoo’s domain registration service, but if there’s some place I’m missing that’s better, please feel free to tell me!
My other, more important question is this: will there be advertisements of any kind on my domain name, if I register it on Yahoo? Let’s say I register the domain name dadsbusiness.com and use basic HTML to upload a few web pages – will there be any popups or any ads on the site itself?
I’ve looked all over the Yahoo pages devoted to domain name registration and I can’t find the answer to that ANYWHERE. Anyone who can tell me, straight-out, if Yahoo-registered domain names have ads on any of the webpages will not only get ten points, but will get all my appreciation!

Hosting has been taken by storm recently with more and more hosting companies opting to use cPanel hosting as their hosting control panel. cPanel hosting has many great features which make managing your web site so much more easier.
Is your current website hosting company using a control panel which makes managing your website and domain very difficult? cPanel hosting transforms this into an easy to manage interface. And the best part of knowing many hosting companies are using cPanel hosting is that when you move hosting, there is no need for a long learning curve.
cPanel hosting allows you to easily log into the control panel or cPanel and manage your domain from anywhere you choose. You can save a lot of time and easily add domains, sub domains and email accounts. Because cPanel interfaces directly with the server (the actual computer which runs your website), most changes are done right before your eyes. I have been with hosts in the past which show me a message saying that my newly created email address could take 10 minutes to start working. Or setting up a sub domain taking as much as 3 hours to start working after creation.
* Features of cPanel hosting which make it irresistible
Please note that the features that follow may or may not be in your cPanel. Even though cPanel hosting looks the same, some servers could have same or different features.
* cPanel Hosting Features
* Mail
Allows you to add email addresses, remove email addresses, and manage your email. You also gain web mail access. Which I find is a great feature, which allows me to have Outlook in the office showing me email, which I can also look at email out of the office easily.
* Autoresponders
cPanel hosting gives you an easy way to set up an autoresponder. Let us say you have a product. You could get people to email an autoresponder email address, and they would receive more information about a particular product.
* Cron Jobs
cPanel hosting allows you to set up cron jobs easily. A cron job comes useful if you want a page or script to run automatically at certain intervals.
* MySql Hosting
cPanel hosting generally comes with the ability to have MySql databases. These databases become crucial for any modern website running with a database backend such as WordPress. MySql within your cPanel hosting is very easy to create a database. Almost everything within a cPanel hosting account is point and click.
* Website statistics
When you buy cPanel hosting, you get access to a variety of ways to view the stats for your website. With cPanel hosting, you can look at the original log files or use Webalizer or Awstats. These are great ways to learn more about the visitors to your website, you can even find out how often Google, Yahoo and other search engines visit your site. Another great feature is to see latest visitors, which shows you who came in last, and where to your website.
* Fantastico! And Script Library
This is truly Fantastico! And I think I know why they called this great feature within cPanel as Fantastico. Fantastico allows you to create a lot of different types of websites in a few clicks. If you have ever installed WordPress, then you will know that even with the 5 minutes installation time, you want something simpler. Fantastico contains such products as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, phpBB and many others.
Fantastico gives you a form, and with only putting in the most minimal of information, you have a brand new site in most cases less than 60 seconds! It is enough to make any web designer from few years back, look in awe.
cPanel hosting comes with many features, and you can be sure that when you choose cPanel hosting, you’re very small needed learning curve can be used with other hosts sporting cPanel hosting. In the past a lot of the smaller web hosting companies opted to use cPanel, now more and more larger hosting companies are offering the benefits of cPanel hosting.
