FAQ :: Domain Registry

The FACTS about domains and Domain Reg­istry:
There is a lot of con­fu­sion when it comes to domains. Domain com­pa­nies send the owner mail with the intent to have them unknow­ingly trans­fer them, by mak­ing the owner think they need to renew their domain. Find ways to end the con­fu­sion. No mat­ter who your host is, it is eas­ier if the domain is main­tained by the host. IMPORTANT:  You must insure how­ever that the Domain Own­ers Name is YOU. Even if the e-mail is going to the domain admin­is­tra­tion, that is ok, as long as your name is listed as the reg­is­trant. The rea­son I say that it is OK for the domain admin­is­tra­tions e-mail to be on the list­ing is that quite often , the owner changes e-mail addresses, and when it is time that they want to trans­fer this becomes dif­fi­cult, because the affir­ma­tion of the trans­fer then goes to the own­ers old e-mail address per­haps not in use. It is wise to check the list­ing reg­u­larly to be sure that the infor­ma­tion is cor­rect, and talk to you admin­is­tra­tor if you have any concerns.


Domain Reg­istry — Let us han­dle your domains for you and end the con­fu­sion. We can main­tain your domain names included in the price of reg­is­ter­ing them. The domain is owned by you, but by hav­ing it in our reg­istry we can main­tain renewals for you, and every­thing with­out con­fu­sion in one place. We can trans­fer your domain if you already have one, or we can order one for you. We can order more than one, and MIRROR those domains to one site, cre­at­ing more traf­fic to your site.

What is City Marketing

City mar­ket­ing is the strate­gic pro­mo­tion of a city, or a dis­trict within it, with the aim of encour­ag­ing cer­tain activ­i­ties to take place there.[2] It is used to alter the exter­nal per­cep­tions of a city in order to encour­age tourism, attract inward migra­tion of res­i­dents, or enable busi­ness relo­ca­tion. A sig­nif­i­cant fea­ture of city mar­ket­ing is the devel­op­ment of new land­mark, or ‘flag­ship’, build­ings and structures.[3] The devel­op­ment of cities as a mar­ketable prod­uct has led to com­pe­ti­tion between them for inward invest­ment and gov­ern­ment funding.[4] It is often man­i­fested in the attempts by cities to attract inter­na­tional sport­ing events, such as the Olympic Games. Com­pe­ti­tion between cities exists at the regional, national and inter­na­tional level; and is an effect of globalisation.[5] (From Wikapedia)

Sad but True - Out with the Old Media In with the New

I love to read ! I really was impressed in 1993 when I first got online and real­ized that in my spare bed­room was a library ! Today, I read books on my Kin­dle — Both busi­ness and plea­sure, learn from blogs on the inter­net, get my news from inter­net feeds, and search on small items of inter­est. So much to read, both free and paid, what time is left to read a tra­di­tional book or news­pa­per. I fear and I am excited about the fact that the paper medium is long past gone. This is a new world for any­one who has a high speed con­nec­tion at home or at work. GREEN, as well, I pro­duce less paper, read­ing and retain­ing for the moment that the info needs to be impor­tant. Write to us , about how you view this new and chang­ing medium, and what is hap­pen­ing with the books, mag­a­zines, and news­pa­pers in your home and office !
