Businesses are fooling themselves if they think they can continue to conduct business without a website. This is because in today’s age, having a website makes many think a company is ‘official.’ But a website by itself doesn’t mean anything without a decent domain name. Granted, a company can try to cut costs by using a free domain name or a third level domain name offered by free web hosting companies, but visitors won’t view their site as being genuine.
Long, complicated domain names are associated with affiliate marketing or even scammers, so businesses need to try and stay away from them as much as possible. The best solution involves getting a normal domain name from a reputable domain name company. One of the best domain name companies around is Yahoo Domain Names.
Yahoo Domain Names is a great alternative for individuals who do not know much about domain names or website hosting. In fact, with Yahoo Domain Names, a person can get a domain name free should they decide to buy one of their hosting packages. The cheapest hosting package available is $11.95 a month plus a startup fee of $25. With this along with any other Yahoo Domain Name hosting package, webmasters get an online website builder. Basically, all they have to do is enter in their information and the site is created for them instantly.
Another reason one should choose Yahoo Domain Names is because of their domain name locking system. This helps prevent hijackers from stealing the domain name. With Yahoo Domain Names, the process of domain name locking is as simple as clicking a button. Webmasters can check to make sure their domain name has been locked by looking up their Whois information. If it says Status: Registrar-Lock, (which it will since Yahoo Domain Names was used), then they can feel assured that their domain name is safe from unauthorized individuals.
Thirdly, Yahoo Domain Names offers private domain name registration. Without private domain name registration anyone can find a webmaster’s basic contact information. This is because ICANN has designated that webmasters have their contact info posted in a database that is accessible online. With Yahoo Domain Names, a person can use Melbourne IT’s contact information as their own. Any inquires made to the ICANN for a webmaster’s personal information will simply point to Melbourne IT. This feature is essential in making sure a webmaster is protected from spam email and even worse, identity theft.
Lastly, Yahoo Domain Names offers 24/7 technical support. Many webmasters overlook the importance of tech support when managing their domain names, but it is still important, especially if one is a newbie. This is because domain names sometimes point to 404 error pages if something goes wrong. With 24/7 tech support, Yahoo Domain Name users can pinpoint what is exactly causing the problem and get it fixed immediately.
In conclusion, if a company is having trouble deciding both where they should get their web hosting and their domain name, they should consider Yahoo Domain Names. Yahoo Domain Names is affordable, offers great features and most importantly is trustworthy. Many other domain name companies may not even deliver a domain name, but Yahoo Domain Names has too much of a reputation to even think about doing such things.
