Domain Name Registration - Helpful advice.

One the things you need to consider when planning to develop an Internet presence for your small business, is the selection of a domain name and the registration of that name. The selection of the name is important and needs to be thought out carefully. It may seem obvious that your domain name, if available, should be the same as your business name.

This seems logical, but it may not be the wisest choice. If your name easily conveys the purpose of your business, then registering that name will work to your advantage with the search engines. If it doesn't convey a purpose, then registering a different name that does convey its purpose will improve the chance that your business will be found among the search results of a prospective customer.

Another consideration is where to register your domain name. The registration process assures you that the name you have selected is officially recognized as belonging to your business. Think of it as a piece of Internet real estate. By having your name officially registered, you have basically staked your claim, and in old west gold rush parlance, your claim can't be "jumped" by any other party.

UPDATE: We've been running Windows XP Service Pack 3 for several months now without issue. It should be safe to upgrade to SP3 once you have backed up your system.

The wait is over, Microsoft has finally released Service Pack 3 for WIndows XP. Given Microsoft's disclaimer that "Windows XP SP3 will not significantly change the Windows XP experience", I think it might be prudent to let this one air out a little before you install it on your system.
