New Domains vs Aged Domains! There are many things that Google, Yahoo, MSN (Bing) factor into their algorithm when considering page rank of your web site.

People put more faith in a business that has been around for awhile…so does the search engines. One good idea would be to purchase your domain as long in advance as you can.

If you want to extend your online web presence in less timeframe then consider multiple domain hosting services.

The internet works by assigning an address to each device attached to it. This address is called an Internet Protocol Address or IP Address for short. It’s a 32 bit number that’s commonly written as 4 segments or octets (called an octet because each 4th is 8 bits) such as 10.10.1.1 or 216.54.217.22. Each octet can range between 0 and 255. This address works just like your street address: a packet (a chunk of Continue Reading Here
Even though computers work strictly with numbers, the DNS (Domain Name system) used in computer networks uses words because humans find words easier to remember. People are more likely to remember “google.com” than a series of numbers. DNS makes the IP numbers more human-readable by translating them into words, and vice versa (like a telephone book). DNS servers accomplish this task by having an alternative set of “records”. Following is a list of the records you’ll find most useful. There are other types of records such as TXT records, but they’re not Continue Reading Here
