We all know you can get a domain name for anything from about £5 per annum upwards but despite this many businesses and individuals limp along with wholly inadequate names.
I see quite large companies who have a website of www.theirdomain.com but insist on using theirdomain@aol.com as their corporate email address. Or senior consultants with jbloggs22@btinternet.com on their business cards. Are they mad? Or just ignorant?
Firstly they are locking themselves into what may be a low quality service just because they can’t risk losing their AOL or BT email address. Secondly what does this do for their image?
Anyway rant over for now. If you want to learn more about domain names there are a series of articles on the NetSecrets website as follows:
- What is a domain name?
- Why are domain names important?
- Why buy both .com and .co.uk versions of your domains?
- Should you include keywords in your domain?
- How does the domain registration system work?
- What happens once you have registered a domain name?
There should be something of interest there and if you want any advice on what to register and how to make best use of it then call us on 01386 792972 or email helpdesk@netsecrets.co.uk.
