Domain Names and Web Hosting – Basics You Must Know
Thursday, April 1st, 2010
Internet address… Domain name… www dot something… There are probably no words in today’s everyday life that are used more often that these. Internet has entered each and every aspect of our lives and is considered to be one of the biggest inventions of all times.
Still, how many people really understand the value of domain name; that part of internet address that follows www.? Better yet, how many people HAVE Internet address with their own domain name? Do people realize that their domain name might be the biggest asset they actually have?
If you run a business, it’s no news anymore that having an Internet address for customers to find you is an imperative. Having an Internet address with the business related domain name is almost necessary for online success. It’s your ID in the online world.
And then there are personal web pages i.e. Internet addresses. With continuous growth of Internet, more and more people start their own personal web pages to share their personal interests, hobbies etc. They simply wish to mark their presence on the Internet and to do that easily they tend to personalize their domains.
The most common way of getting your own domain name is by getting it from a free web hosting provider. However, the risk of doing that is far greater than people think. What it comes down to is that you simply DO NOT OWN your web site / Internet address / domain name. In other words, if that free web hosting provider runs out of business, you LOSE EVERYTHING. Another big obstacle when choosing your own domain name is the fact that most of the TLDs names (top level domains such as .com, .org and .biz) are already taken.
Luckily, there’s an alternative…
For almost a decade now, people are using the benefits of being a .ws domain owners. By registering with GDI (Global Domains International), one of the fastest growing INC 500 companies today, you get to see the true meaning of “value for money” principle. For $ 10,- per month you get to chose your own domain name, but more importantly – you get to OWN it, as well as your 10 pages web site, 10 email addresses, a web site builder and an email forwarding service.
If this still doesn’t seam good enough to you, GDI offers all the above as an actual product for you to pass on i.e. to sell to other people as a GDI Affiliate. Should you choose that, there’s an outstanding ongoing support system in place and incredible 5 levels affiliate commissions program. So, you have a safe and professional web hosting package on one side and a highly demanded product / service to earn from, on the other. If you’re familiar with Affiliate business at all, you’ll recognize the power of promoting a highly demanded product that requires no warehousing, but is instantly delivered.
All in all, with Internet being everybody’s business today, GDI and its .ws are turning into and therefore rightfully being called A NEW .COM BOOM and the most reliable MLM system today.
So, do you have your own .ws domain yet?

Hosting Features You Must Have to Publish Your Blog
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
We have seen a phenomenal rise in the number of blogs published in recent years. A large number of webmasters (amateur and professional) are making use of blogs to accomplish one of many services that a blog can provide. Some are using blogs to promote other websites that they manage. Some are simply using blogs to get out a message they are passionate about. Blogs have become much more than just a passing fad. Blogs are earning common people in the web hosting game, huge sums of money on a daily basis.
Possibly you have decided to join the masses participating in this fun and profitable activity. The first important step is to ensure you are working with the correct tools. You website hosting provider may be one of the most important resources you need to consider. Web hosting services vary in cost and features today due mainly to the fact that there are such a large number of webhosting services available.
A few key features included with your hosting package play a big part in the success of your blogging efforts. You must have the capability to produce a database to store blog information. These databases will be created in an area of your control panel called MySQL. The most recent version of MySQL standard is MySQL 4, although a newer version is slowly being introduced labelled MySQL 5. You should have version 4 available if you select one of the many top rated website hosting service providers.
Reliability is very important to blogs. You want your readers to be able to access your blog when they visit it. Since blogs can produce heavy traffic and high bandwidth, quality hosting that permits that level of traffic is essential. Basically the blog user submits a message online that is actually spread to other blog services and search engines, telling the internet that “here is a new message”.
Web hosting providers define allowed limits available for quantities of incoming and outgoing traffic. This measurement of that quantity is called your bandwidth. If the scope and popularity of the website is relatively small, it will operate just fine with low amounts of bandwidth. As soon as it starts to receive larger quantities of traffic, you are going to require greater quantities of bandwidth for both incoming and outgoing data.
Web hosting providers will define the quantity of bandwidth that you have been allocated with your particular hosting package. In fact though, many webhosting services don’t expect you to actually utilize that amount of traffic or bandwidth. Try to ensure that the host is prepared to handle the traffic you will require.
A slow server is like having a low speed limit on a highway. Although this can be difficult to determine, there are websites that will measure the speed of a particular hosting service. You can conduct a search on Google to locate one of these services.
Do some research to determine the reliability statistics of your potential hosting service. Reliability figures should indicate performance in the area of guaranteed 99% uptime. Internet surfers are an impatient people and if they try to access your website a few times and find it unavailable, chances are very good that they will go away forever.
What do you require?
If the website does not experience heavy traffic you will find that a relatively inexpensive shared hosting solution will serve your needs. However, if you expect higher levels of traffic it may be best to consider a dedicated hosting solution. Dedicated hosting is typically more expensive but greater allotments of bandwidth are guaranteed. One of these two solutions will most likely be all you require to get in and start blogging.
I own a domain name, registered in good faith before a trademark was reg’d. Must I relinquish the domain?
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010In 2005, I designed a product that has not yet launched, and gave the product a name. The domain name for that product was taken, so I “backordered” the name through GoDaddy. It actually came up for auction several months ago and I purchased it.
AFTER I purchased it, another company obtained a trademark. Their use of the name only goes back a few months.
I did not cybersquat and my registration was in good faith. I have not put anything on the site for fear of infringing their trademark. Do I have any legal obligation to surrender the name?

The Law of Domain Names-What You Must Know Doing Business Online
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
Domain names can usually be registered quickly and inexpensively. Top Level Domain(TLD) is the suffix such as .us or .uk or .fr-it denotes the country.
Within TLDs there are 2 sub-categories
1. Generic TLDs such as .com,.net,.org,.biz. These domain names do not have to be distinctive and do not indicate geographic origin.
2. Country Code TLDs which are administered by the domain registry of the relevant country.
Domain name disputes
Domain name disputes have been resolved generally in one of 2 ways-either in court or by reference to the alternative dispute resolution procedure provided by ICANN.
This body has adopted the UDRP (Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy) which apples to generic TLD name disputes.
Some country code administrators have incorporated this procedure into their registration agreements.
This UDRP procedure has been very successful and has resolved many domain name disputes; however it does not provide for damages and so a company that needs immediate injunctive relief and damages will be advised to head for court rather than the UDRP procedure.
Generally the relief provided is simply to have the domain name transferred to the plaintiff.
To win relief at the UDRP you will need to show 3 things
1. the complainant must show that the name is confusingly similar to the name in which the complainant has rights
2. the existing holder has no legitimate interest or rights in the domain name
3. the complainant must show bad faith on the part of the holder of the domain name.
The holder of the domain name can reject the complainant’s case if he could show bona fide use of the name, non commercial use with no intention to profit, evidence that the respondent is known by the domain name.
UDRP also recognise the phenomenon of ‘Reverse Domain Name Hijacking’ which is the occasion when the plaintiff uses the policy in bad faith in an attempt to deprive a registered holder of a domain name of that name.
In ccTLD disputes the domain name registry require further proofs before they cancel or transfer a domain name.
Conclusion
It is clearly impossible to register all domain names and trade marks which they may feel they need to protect their intellectual property.
Sometimes it is more cost effective to purchase the name from the ‘offender’ rather than go to court or UDRP.
It is important to recognise the difference between trade marks and domain names and it is prudent for a company to register each of their domain names as a trade mark.
Because otherwise their domain name could be registered as a trade mark by a 3rd party.
Low Cost Web Hosting-A Must Have
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
It’s necessary for you to look for a low cost web hosting service especially when you’re just starting out in your online business. You wouldn’t want to spend unnecessarily on a website which won’t bring in as much cash at the end of the day. At the same time, free hosting services, as we all know it, are highly inconvenient especially when you’re trying to keep up with the competition. Free web hosting services require you to stuff your web pages with banners. Some free web hosting services also have pop up windows which can be very annoying for your visitors.
What makes a web hosting service worth your penny?
There’s no fast rule when it comes to choosing a low cost web hosting service. This is because every website and every kind of online business requires a different set of features. If you’re uploading mostly text content onto your website, you can probably do with a low cost web hosting service which offers 5MB to 20MB of storage space. If you’re selling actual products on your website, however, you may need a web hosting service which offers security pages for payments and order taking.
The point is, if you’re choosing among a number of low cost web hosting services, you shouldn’t base your choices purely on the price. The lowest priced web hosting service isn’t automatically the best deal among the lot. In the same manner, a hosting service with a big price tag doesn’t automatically guarantee top-of-the-notch service.
If you want to make sure that every cent you spend on your web hosting service is worth it, you should make a list of all the features you need for your website. This will make choosing among several low cost web hosting services easier for you. If you’re unsure of a web hosting service provider, don’t sign up for longer than a month. Should you be unhappy with their service, it’s easy to move on to the next low cost hosting service provider on your list for the coming months.
Storage and bandwidth limits
The storage space and the bandwidth limit of your web hosting provider are two very different things. In reality, especially if you’re just keeping a simply blog, you can survive with about 5MB to 20 MB of storage space without any trouble. This is enough for all your textual content, a few photos and your simple but elegant layout design.
You should probably focus on your bandwidth limit when you’re choosing among a number of web hosting services. Your bandwidth requirements will vary in time, and you will need to monitor your bandwidth status frequently. To do this, you should visit your own web pages every once in a while. Look at how accessible your site during peak and off-peak hours. Again it’s advisable again to subscribe monthly instead of annually. This way, you’ll be able to monitor your bandwidth requirements easier. You can simply adjust your package when your website gets too popular for the bandwidth allotment you’ve signed up for.
Control and support
As a webmaster, you want two things from your web hosting service provider: control and support. Most paid web hosting services offer 24/7 toll-free technical support. If you’re maintaining your websites during weekends, you’re definitely going to need this compared to a hosting service which only has technical support during weekdays.
Even if you’re getting round-the-clock technical support from your hosting service provider, you shouldn’t settle for one that requires you to ask the aid of the technical staff whenever you need to make small changes in your website. The hosting service of your choice should also have a complete control panel, which allows you to manipulate your website from any computer online. This will make correcting typo errors and what not easier for you in the long run.
Mistakes You Must Avoid When Choosing a Domain Name

Top 3 Mistakes You Must Avoid When Choosing a Domain Name
You should always look for a domain name that’s brandable, catchy and memorable. If you’re business relies on your personal brand, make sure you register your full name – mine for example is Randy Charach, so my first priority in choosing a domain was to get the .com extension, which I did a long time ago. In fact, I own most other major extensions for my name and company name, Synergy Domains, too. Okay, those are a couple DO’s, but this article is about DONT’s, so here are the top 3 mistakes to avoid when choosing a domain name.
Mistake #1) You should stay away from using hyphens and numbers in the domain
Hyphens and numbers in a domain cause confusion and extra explanation when the domain is being described verbally. Choose a relatively short domain with as few letters and words as possible. That way there’s also less chance of spelling errors on the part of your potential website visitor.
Mistake #2) Unintentionally choosing names with more than one meaning
Be very careful not to make the same mistakes these site owners made when choosing their domain name:
therapistfinder.com
pensiland.net
Mistake #3) Registering your domain at a less than reliable registrar
Make sure you register your domains at a reputable and well established Registrar where who offer fair pricing on domain names as well as extra free features such as domain forwarding and 24/7 phone support. Please don’t shop on price alone and if you haven’t heard of the company before and they seem small, do your due diligence or risk losing your domain.
Is It Too Late To Change The Domain Name Of Your Site?
If you now realize that you’ve made a mistake in selecting a domain for one of your already established sites then there are two ways you can go to fix this…
You can create a new, relevant keyword domain and link it to your existing site, or put your existing site on your new domain and point your old domain to the new one. Ideally, you’ll move the site to your new domain and re-establish its presence there.
You’ll want to consider whether there are back-links to your existing site so you don’t lose your current traffic and search engine rankings. If you don’t know what I mean by back links and don’t know how to move sites around, you may need to get someone to do this for you or learn how to do it yourself. None of this is very difficult; it just requires a little know-how and a bit of time. If you don’t want to learn and do-it-yourself, then you can post the task at a site where outsourcers will bid to do the work for you.
