Tips on Domain Name Choice

Before buying your domain name, give some thought to the
followng:-

1) If possible use your sites name as the basis of your
domain name e.g www.discountdomainsuk.com for Discount
Domains UK. This might seem common sense but not every
site follows the convention. If you use your name in your
URL it will be much easier for your customers to find you.

2) Generic names – if you can register a generic domain such
as toys.com that’s great, but most of these have already gone.
Also getting ranked in the search engines is likely to be harder.
Selected a domain closer to your market segment will cut
down the competition. E.g toyplanes.com

3) Hyphenated Names – Its easy to forget the hyphen! Which is the problem, particularly if your customer remembers your name but not your URL. Though on a positive note hyphenated names are less likely to be registered already.

Steps to becoming a web host reseller

You’ve decided to get a reseller web hosting account to resell web space. What now? Here’s a step-by-step guide.

1. Choose the platform you want to use.

More open source software programs are available for Linux than for Windows, which makes Linux less expensive. While most programs (Perl, PHP, Flash, etc.) run on both platforms, a few run on only Windows or Linux. A site that requires ASP or MS Access, for example, requires a Windows platform.

2. Choose the control panel you want to use.

Control panels for websites range from very basic to loaded with features. As a reseller, you’ll also have a control panel for you to set up and control hosting accounts.

In Choosing Your Hosting Automation Software, we compare several control panels, all of which offer good features for web host resellers.
