Read This Before You Register A Domain Name!

You know, up until recently, I thought most Domain
Name Registry Companies were about the same. But,
recently, I had a rude awakening!

You see, I was delighted to discover that the domain
name, earnalivingontheweb.com, was available. Don't
let anyone tell you that all the good .com names are
taken! it's just not true.

Anyhow, I quickly registered it with a company that I
had used earlier to register two of my domain names.
That was fine. The following day, I went back to the
company site to see whether the domain name was
now active. To my surprise, it said something to the
effect that the registration was made, but that there
were problems with it.

So, I quickly got a support ticket and enquired about
the problem. I didn't receive a response. I submitted
a second ticket, and received a standard reply which
simply told me there was a problem. It wasn't clarified.

I got suspicious that something under-handed was
happening. Could it be that someone recognized the
value of my domain, "Earn A Living On The Web"?
I'll never know -- perhaps I was simply paranoid over
the situation. After all, this problem hadn't ever happened
to me.

Well, when the red light went off in my head, I quickly
headed over to Yahoo and did a domain search. Yes,
the domain name was still available. So, I quickly
registered it with Yahoo, and it was verified and
functioning within fifteen minutes!

So, what was the problem with the other domain
registry company? I won't mention any names, but,
believe me, I will be transferring those other two domain
names away from that company. I still haven't had my
money refunded, either.

I would recommend both Yahoo and It'sYourDomain,
as two places to register your domains. The price at
It'sYourDomain is a little higher than at Yahoo, but
I've had excellent service with them. Their domain
interface page is also very easy to understand. And,
I've had great service and success with Yahoo, as well.

No, not all domain name registry companies are the
same!

My best regards,
Laurie
