Before
you can start up a business - any business - customers need to be able
to find you. On the Internet, your address is your domain name; the
part of an Internet address that comes after the www.
With the unparalleled growth of the Internet, dot com domain names
continue to sell like hotcakes. Currently, there are more than 20
million dot com domains, and over 34 million total domains registered
worldwide. Industry experts forecast that more than 500 million domains
will be registered in the next ten years. In fact, reliable sources
from companies like Intel are predicting that every personal computer
in the future will have its own domain name.
In 1998, the dot com craze was beginning to ramp up to unbelievable
proportions. So many Internet companies sprouted up in Silicon Valley,
and elsewhere, that companies not swept up in the hysteria were thought
to be missing out. But, while most people were focused on things like
Content, Banner Ads and Bandwidth, Michael Reed and Alan Ezeir, the CEO
and President respectively of Global Domains International, Inc. (GDI),
recognized another opportunity that was largely ignored; they wondered,
"Besides dot com, are there other extensions that businesses could use
as a domain name?" The answer is YES!! Registering a domain is just the
first step in putting a site on the web. If you want to put a website
at a domain, you need web hosting. Essentially, every website needs a
computer behind it, pushing out the text, graphics, audio, video, and
other web goodies to every computer than connects to it. In the
language of the Internet, these computers are dedicated machines called
servers. As the name implies, their job is to serve websites, and they
do it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Instead of maintaining your own
server, GDI provides that service for you at a much cheaper rate! Check
