How do I select quality domain names?
Although everyone should have a domain name that is MyBusinessName.com, it is very important to also have a domain name(s) which reflects what your business is about. For example, if your business is providing electrical training services, you should have a domain name that tells the world just that -- something like ElectricalTrainingServices.com.
Another important consideration when selecting a domain name is the keywords that are appropriate for your business. Select a domain name(s) that contains your most relevant keyword phrase because the ranking algorithms of most search engines will provide a higher ranking to wesites whose domain names contain the keywords used in the search. Thus if your business is repairing motors, the best domain name is something like MotorRepairServices.com
Also, try to select a domain name that is easy to remember. As in the motor repairing example above, MotorRepairServices.com is easily remembered and contains the most relevant keyword phrase that describes that business.
What are relevant domain names?
Relevant domain names are high quality names that contain generic key words or phrases that are descriptive of an industry, a business or specific products or services. Relevant domain names are usually constructed of one or more common words -- for example: SuperiorTransformers.com or CircuitBreakersOnline.com or ElectricServiceCenter.com.
Relevant domain names are great for keyword targeting in search engines... thus they usually increase a business' presence on the internet because, unlike a company's name, they provide expanded visibility in search engines and directories for the business' products and/or services. Often they are catchy and easy to remember; and they can generate increased internet traffic via higher placement in search engines.
Having a domain name(s) that is memorable, directly related to your business, and that instantly attracts your potential customers is an important element of a successful internet marketing strategy.
In practical terms, how do I use a relevant domain name?
The most common uses for a relevant domain name are as the internet address (url) for:
- your primary web site
- a "product specific" or "service specific" web site
- a "pointer" to your main web site using domain forwarding
- a "pointer" to an internal page of your web site using domain forwarding
- the address for an additional web site identical to your existing web site using domain aliasing. Actually, it's the exact same web site on the same server as your existing web site, it just has a different internet address (www.RelevantDomainName).
- "doorway pages" to your primary web site
The web address created with a relevant domain name is registered with search engines and directories so it can bring additional potential customers for your business.
Domain aliasing and domain forwarding are easy to setup. If you don't understand how aliasing or forwarding works, contact us and we'll be happy to provide an explanation.

How much is a relevant domain name worth?
To estimate the value of a relevant domain name, first estimate the value of one new customer to your business, including its lifetime residual value and all of the referrals the customer will provide. Multiply this number by the number of new customers your new premium domain name might attract, including keyword search engine traffic.
As an example - if each customer is worth $500 dollars over their lifetime, and your new, relevant domain name attracts 200 new customers over the life of your company, then the contribution of the name to your business would be $100,000.00. Or, if your relevant domain name attracts 2,000 new customers, but they are only valued at $50 each over their lifetime, you would still come up with the same $100,000.00 contribution.
Of course you wouldn't pay $100,000 for such a domain name; however, if you can buy a relevant domain name for a thousand dollars (or less) that is worth tens of thousands (or more) to your business, it's clearly a worthwhile and beneficial purchase.
In theory (and in practice), the more relevant domain names you have that bring additional potential customers to your web site, the better.
Remember, it's easy to point relevant domain names to your existing web site, or to product or service specific web sites, or internal pages of your web site, or to doorway pages to your web site.
Additionally, a relevant domain name should hold its resale value; and in all likelihood will become more valuable over time.

The demand and prices for relevant domain names continues to increase as good names become more and more scarce. The price of our relevant domain names is based on relevancy, length, marketability, spelling, traffic, and economic trends.

Why don't you show the price of all relevant domain names online?
The market for relevant domain names is evolving rapidly and they are constantly going up in value. This makes it impractical to price them all online only to have to regularly reprice them as the market rises.
How can I put in a bid or counter offer for a price I was quoted?
We do not negotiate our prices; and we don't accept bids or counter offers as we aren't a domain auction. The quoted price is a fixed, one-time price. If you are not satisfied with the quoted price, you are probably out of luck.
All names are subject to prior sale to the first valid, accepted offer.

How long does it take to transfer ownership to me?
Transferring ownership to you usually takes only one (1) business day. As the new owner (registrant) of the domain name(s), you will have complete control over all aspects of the domain name including dns, contacts, etc.
What costs do I have after I purchase a domain name from you?
You pay us a one-time only price and the domain is in your control forever. You will have to pay an ongoing annual registration fee of around $12-$30 depending on the domain registration company you use.
