Buy Em and Sell Em At One PlaceOne stop multi-tasking, baby! If you are looking to both buy and sell domain names, you are in luck. Most agencies that list domains for sale will also purchase domain names from individuals. *Websites that both buy and sell domains function according to the laws of supply and demand, so they want to keep their inventory fresh—this can be beneficial to you. From Registration To Live…3 days.How long do I have to wait?! Generally, from the time you commence a domain registration and enter your domain name information and contact information, you should be able to hit your website within 72 hours. This time period allows the name server domain information to get propagated around the internet to other name servers. Once that happens, you'll be able to reach the place your domain lives and display either your parked domain or your website. Costs of Email Forwarding.Depending on the bells and whistles, an email forwarding service can be as cheap as free or as costly as $15 per month. • For advanced email forwarding, such as auto-responders, archives and web-holding pages, you'll find yourself at the higher end of the price spectrum • For plain-jane forwarding email, you can find a service online that is very inexpensive if not free *Assess your needs ahead of time so that you don't spend more than you need to! Support is Just a Forum AwayKnow the news! Weblogs and Forums are a great source of domain news. As new services come online, or people discover good toolsets that can help pinpoint domain names, you'll see discussion threads pop up online. Often, domain name forums will offer a digest of some sort that can be received as a domain name newsletter. Visit www.domainstate.com for an example of a good domain news source. URL Forwarding explained.Much like call forwarding on your telephone, URL forwarding works in a similar fashion. Your domain name will bounce the incoming visitor to a different domain. A domain forwarding service usually consists of a single webpage at the site that handles the forwarding, and that webpage will tell the web browser to go somewhere else to get the page. How Many Names Are There On The Net? A Lot!Oh baby, you're not alone. According to the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), domain trends show there are over 52 Million domain names and domain information registered in the United States alone! Don't be discouraged by the huge number. Instead, consider that every 24 hours, over 300,000 new domain names are added. When you search for your own domain name, remember there are 52 Million possibilities removed—so be patient. Without A Name Server, You're Literally Lost.You need more than a name, silly! While your domain names may have be registered, the location of your website is still unknown until you assign a primary and secondary name server. A name server is a directory that resolves your web site IP address to the domain name you call your website. If your domain is registered and the name server is not activated or not registered at all, you will receive a timeout or 'site not found' error any time you try to connect to the website. *Premium registrars such as Moniker.com offer default name servers and parking so that your domain never goes to a "dead" page. Crouching Domain, Hidden OwnerLooking for domain information and only finding invalid information or a company that doesn't exist? Chances are you are getting blocked by the domain owner's privacy settings. Domain trends show that a geometric increase of people signed up for domain privacy in 2004. If you still want to contact domain name owner, you can do so via their website information or through the privacy company. Finding A REAL Domain Investment Service.Beware of the leopard with no spots! Domain name investment services are not a regulated industry. However, it is easy to see who provides a solid domain assessment and who does not. If a company judges your website on a non-uniform list of criteria, or they make guarantees of large sums of money, you can bet they are not a very reliable domain name service and you should steer clear. *Look for companies that have a good resume of domains they have worked with in the past. |
