Your Very Own .COM Address FREE Search Utilities
What is a Domain Name anyway and why do I need one? The first step to getting on the Internet and establishing a presence on
the World-Wide Web is getting a domain that embodies the name of your
company and its brand equity. So what's a domain?
yourcompanyname.com
The first part of the domain ("yourcompanyname") can be anything that you choose. The second part (".com") depends on what type of firm or
organization you are -- see the below information provided by the InterNIC (the body with which the domain is registered):
.COM is for commercial, for-profit organizations.
.NET is for network infrastructure machines and organizations.
.EDU is for 4-year, degree granting colleges/universities.
(schools, libraries, museums register under country domains)
.GOV is for United States federal government agencies.
(state and local governments register under country domains)
.ORG is for miscellaneous, usually non-profit, organizations.
(orgs/individuals that do not clearly fit in any of the above)
.MIL is for military organizations.

Unfortunately, companies getting online are finding that many of the shorter domains are taken or that their actual company name
is in use by another firm. While a domain registration does not confer any trademark rights, getting a domain away from another firm can be
quite a sticky situation resulting in legal action or the purchase of the domain.
What do I need after I register a Domain Name?
Once a domain is registered, you may begin to use it to customize many of wyndows techknow's services and products. Starting with e-mail aliasing
(you@companyname.com) and moving onto a website presence with (http://www.companyname.com) your entire Internet experience depends on a domain.
After registration of your name, wyndows techknow(tm) operates 'DNS' servers that can make your name available 24 hours to the internet, so any one trying to find your website or email box can! Not only that, we also make available
web browser based email, like Hotmail or YahooMail... and we can match the graphics and logos of your website with a graphical web mail login of your own!
You may even assign an 'administrator' of your custom email server! This means you can make new email accounts and manage them using any conventional web browser!
