Why should you have a "Domain Name" for your "Web Site".
Your Business as well as your Web site must be easily located.
Both must have an address. A Web site address is called a
URL or Domain Name. The organization which governs
domain names is InterNIC. Your domain name will be
registered through InterNIC for a fee paid directly to InterNic ($75 for 2 years). Much like the state
controls corporation names to prevent duplication, InterNIC
controls domain names. Your should consider a
Domain Name because it is:
- A mark of prestige
- Unique Advertising opportunity
- A method for Clients and potential clients to find you easily
- An acknowledgement that you have made the effort to be in the mainstream of E-commerce and all Internet activity.

- Location, Location, Location -- i.e.: ibm.com, ford.com,
coke.com
- A readily identifiable electronic pathway through which
new and old business dollars can flow.

name that you wish to verify or investigate.
