| Your
Own Domain Name:
One
of the BEST business decisions
you'll ever make.
Your own
domain name uniquely identifies
your company on the internet.
It also indicates a commitment
to a professional internet presence.
Here's a little
secret:
A customers first impression
of your business has NOTHING
to do with a flashy, expensive
website.
It has EVERYTHING
to do with having professional
looking contact details.
Think about it - would YOU
do business with a financial
advisor who uses the email address
money534@hotmail.com ?
Or would you even bother typing
in the address of a somewhere
to stay on your holiday if their
website address was something
like
http://serviceprovider.com.pk/users/~greathideaway/index.htm
?
They might have a great website,
with cheap rates and fantastic
hospitality.
Too bad that only a fraction
of the people seeing their promotions
will ever visit their website.
Because it's simply too difficult.
And if you heard the address
on the radio, you'd NEVER remember
it - or be able to write it
down.
Your
own DOMAIN NAME is the most
important part of your business
internet identity.
Your
own domain name will solve these
problems.
Apart from providing a professional
image, it puts YOU totally in
control of all aspects of your
increasingly important internet
image.
Most importantly, you won't
be at risk of having your internet
contact details becoming useless
overnight - as happened to many
businesses when service providers
Dingo Blue and One Tel collapsed.
Domain names used to be expensive.
But not any more (unless of
course, you set one up through
one of the national ISP's)
With 100host.com, you can register
a US based .com domain for 14
$ to 100 $ for 12 months.(note

Or a pakistani .com.pk domain
for 2000 Rs / 35 $ for 24 months.
(note this packages includes
only domain
Expensive
Websites are NOT Necessary.
All
you need to start building a
professional internet image
is your own domain name, email
services, and a hosting account
where you can put up some kind
of basic website.
You can then start to build
your internet activities, and
improve your site as your needs
increase.
Free Email Accounts
- a Business Liability.
A
few years ago, it was acceptable
to use a free email address
such as hotmail or yahoo for
business purposes. Times
have changed.
Many people won't even communicate
with a business that uses a
free email address as a contact.
They are now associated with
SPAM and pornography. A business
using such a free account is
generally perceived as dodgy,
amateurish, or at best quite
naive.
What's worse, you risk having
your account closed down on
the basis of unsubstantiated
SPAM complaint.
A Domain Name Protects Your
Business.
Domain name owners have none
of these problems. If their
ISP goes out of business they
can just move their websites
and domain name to another hosting
company, and carry on with business
as usual. Their email and website
addresses remain unchanged,
will continue working.
There's no reprinting needed,
clients don't have to be notified,
and your marketing efforts won't
be disrupted.
If you currently use an ISP
based domain name, we can help
you achieve a smooth transition
to your own domain name with
no disruption to your business.
Domain Names Are CHEAP!
You
may have enquired about a domain
name in the past, and been shocked
at the price and setup costs
you were quoted. So you may
have decided not to bother.
100host's domain name pricing
is very competitive.
.com names cost 799 Rs / 14
$* to 6000 Rs / 100 $* per year.
*plus web hosting. *
.com.pk names cost 3000 Rs /
50 $* for 2 year.
* plus 10% GST for Pakistani
Clients. *
Why Advertise someone Else's
Business for FREE?
When most people start off their
internet business, they use
an email and website address
which is a combination of their
user name, and the name of their
service provider.
A typical email address is yourbusiness@hostingcompany.com
and a website address might
be http://users.hostingcompany.com/~yourname
(Just try using THAT in a radio
advertisement!)
This is great for the hosting
company - you give them free
promotion every time you advertise
or give out your email and website
addresses. And you're probably
not even aware of it!
However, it's not so good for
you. You are effectively locked
into using that ISP, because
you have their name on your
business cards, stationery,
promotional material, etc.
If your hosting company disappears
(like OneTel and Dingo Blue
did recently) all the efforts
that you have put into promoting
your online business are wasted.
You have to start all over again
- reprinting business cards,
letterheads, changing advertisements,
etc.
It can all be avoided if you
have your own domain name -
one of the best business investments
that you'll ever make.
