NAME YOUR BUSINESS

Finding the perfect domain name for your business.

This is the one of the most important decisions of your business. You will want to pick a
name that will be easy for your customers to remember, spell and is unique.  Here are some
helpful tips for picking the name that’s right for your business.

Although you are not too likely to stumble across a domain name worth millions (The highest
price paid for a domain name to date is, $7.5 million for business.com in 1999), there are
still good domain names available. This article will help you to find the best domain name or
multiple domain names (Yes, I am suggesting you get more than one) for your business.

Regardless of your business type or the scope of your market, there are benefits to having
a web site. Your domain name is the address that allows your potential customers to find
your business web site. So, you want to make sure it is easy for them to find you.

Before you start searching for your name, here are a few basics:
· Anyone can register one or many domain names
· You can register a domain name even if you don’t own a web site
· You can register a domain up to 67 characters long
· Try to avoid hyphenated names unless that’s all that is available
· Registration prices are as little as $3.99 per year (go to www.myquickcart.com)
· And you can register up to 10 years in advance
· Get a “.com” name: Avoid the “.net” (unless you run an ISP) and “.org” names (unless
your business is a non-profit)
· Forget about a name that has less than four or five characters: It’s gone by now

To help you understand better how to find a good name, we’re going to pretend
you are an accountant based in Tucson, named Bob. Here’s what you should do to
find a good name:

1. Register your actual business name. If it is “Bob’s Accounting & Tax Services, Inc.”
Then start by searching to see if, "bobsaccounting.com” is available. If that’s not available,
add letters, such as “bobsaccountingandtax.com.”

2. Try not to use abbreviations (i.e. “bobsaccntng.com”). Most are impossible to
remember and if your customers can’t remember your domain name, they won’t find you!

3. After you get your company name, try getting one or more domains that are more generic
and describe your business. For instance, “Tucsontaxes.com” or “tucsontaxman.com”
would be good for Bob since he is based in Tucson.

4. Now find a name or two that use keywords that would be used to find your services
via a search engine. (Hyphens won’t hurt here). You will use these domain names help you
come up higher in search engines. If you’re not sure what keywords to use, go to Yahoo.
com or Google.com and try to find a business in your town that does what you do. Use
these same words in your domain name. For example, “Tucsonaccounting.com” or
“Tucsonaccountant.com” or “Tucsoncpa.com” or “Tucson-cpa.com” would work too for Bob.

5. Protect your name further. If you found the perfect “.com” name for your web site and
you want to protect it, then register the “.net” & “.org” names too. These are not good
names normally. But it prevents other competitors from grabbing them and potentially riding
on your web site marketing coattails.

6. If your name is not available to register, buy it! Often, the person who has registered
it, might be interested in selling; especially if they haven’t already turned the name into a
web site. To find out who owns a domain name, go to www.allwhois.com. You can send the
owner an email that you are interested in buying their domain name.

Don't forget, after you have registered all of your domain names, point them all to
your web site. This way, whatever domain name is typed into a browser, it will
point them in your direction.

~ Did you know that when you register a domain, your name, address, email
address, and phone number are immediately made available to anyone who
wants to see it? That's right. Your personal information is exposed 24 hours a day,
everyday, to anyone, anywhere.

You have the power to change this. With a private ("unlisted") registration through Domains
By Proxy™ (our affiliate company), registering a domain name doesn't mean sacrificing your
privacy.
Your new or existing domain is registered in the name of Domains By Proxy -- so their
information is made public -- not yours.
~ You retain full benefits of domain registration. You can cancel, sell, renew, or transfer
your domain; set-up name servers for your domain; and resolve disputes involving your
domain.
~ The patent-pending registration and email handling systems let you manage and control
all postal mail and email addressed to the domain you have registered, as well as the
domain's contact information.
~ And your domain registration is safe -- it's insured against loss by American International
Insurance Company -- AND backed by My Quick Cart guarantee!
But don't even think about using a private registration to transmit Spam, violate the law, or
engage in morally objectionable activities.

Domain Forwarding

Forwarding just might be the best, hardest-working domain bargain going!

Now you can put any domain name to work, whether you've built a site for it or not. Just
select a domain name (or names), add forwarding, and any visitor who types in that name
will be redirected to the existing site you designate.

Forwarding is especially useful if you have a site with a long, complicated address. Now you
can just register a simpler domain name (easily done using one of the less common top
level domains, like .BIZ instead of .COM, for example) and then forward it. It's that easy.

Domain masking lets you protect the address of a particular site, while still allowing
customers to access the content. Here's how it works:

First, you register a domain name, say, domain1.com. This is only an address, though;
domain1.com is not going to have its own web site. You use this address to display the
content of another web site, say, forwarded-to.com.

So your visitors type in www.domain1.com and see the display from the forwarded-to.com
web site. But they do not see the forwarded-to.com address. Click here to learn more about
forwarding.


How do I transfer a domain name?

ANSWER:

Here is an overview of the process:

1. Advise your administrative contact that the domain name is being transferred.
2. My Quick Cart will email your administrative contact by the next business day to request
transfer approval.
3. When this acceptance is received, we will send a transfer request to the registry.
4. The registry will email your current registrar.
5. Most likely, your current registrar will send your administrative contact an email asking for
your approval of the transfer to My Quick Cart. Please respond as directed.
6. Your current registrar will send an acceptance or rejection notice to the registry.
7. The registry will email My Quick Carto a notice of the acceptance or rejection. My Quick
Cart will send you an email informing you that the transfer is complete. Should the transfer
fail, we will inform you.

Helpful hints:

~ Verify that the domain name's administrative contact email address at your current
registrar is correct. This is the address we are required to contact to request approval for
the transfer. Click here to view your domain name in the Whois database.
~ After we have notified you that the transfer is complete, log in to your account and verify
the contact information for your domain. Inaccurate or incomplete contact data may result in
the cancellation of your domain name.
