www. what's in a name ?

If you want to use the web to distribute timely information, promote your business, sell a product or service, or just promote yourself, it is important that your Internet presence accomplishes the intended task and reaches the intended audience. In order to achieve that first step, you should get a global domain name registration or an Internet name.

Why is a good Internet name so important ?
Your Internet name (or domain name) is the core of your Internet identity - your online brand. Your customers will remember this name and use it to learn about or purchase your products and services. Since no two parties can ever hold the same Web Address simultaneously, your Internet name is totally unique.

Why should you register your Internet name ?
Your Internet name puts you on the map of today's business world, making your company's products available to literally millions of potential clients worldwide. When you register a dotcom name, you will join millions of others who enjoy the rewards of doing business online.

What do dotcom, dotnet, and dotorg mean ?
Dotcom, dotnet and dotorg are top level domains that help computer users find you on the Internet. They are used by business houses and individuals worldwide.

If you are not ready for a website yet, should you still secure your company's Internet domain name ?
Absolutely. Even if you are not ready, you should still register your company right away ... before someone else does. Your dotcom address is your storefront on the World Wide Web. An Internet presence makes your business available to over 106 million worldwide prospects. A small business can have the same presence as a corporate giant on the Net. Putting your company on the Net can put dollars in your pocket. You will be automatically listed in the dotcom directory.
