In excess of four million new domain names were registered in the first quarter of 2004. This exemplifies that fact that people recognise the potential of the Internet and the opportunities it presents for their business - a global audience.

The importance of a domain name is often downplayed and underestimated in new Web development projects and ventures. Descriptive, well-chosen domain names add real value to the marketability of a Web presence in addition to the potential implicit increase of traffic to the site.

Beat the domain speculators and claim your domain right away. Be sure to check out our FAQ section on domain registration.

A very important aspect of every Web venture is identifying a suitable host for your Web site. Even with the immense number of companies around, each promising better service than the next and at lower prices to boot, truly reliable hosting institutions are in short supply.

Factors such as the specific technology used in developing the solution, what your bandwidth usage requirements are likely to be, and the uptime guarantee required, to name but a few.
