Whonami- Registering domain names will support your business a lot

Registering domain names build your credibility on the Internet. Use domain names to support your business and assist in creating a dynamic online presence. Your domain name establishes your online identity and increases branding, marketing and communication opportunities. Register multiple domain names to:

-Keep your competition from registering a domain name that draws customers away from you.
-Promote the products and services you offer.
-Drive more traffic to your website.
-Enjoy more opportunities to market to — and be listed on — search engines.
-Create distinct advertising strategies to reach different target markets.
-Provide customers more ways to find you on the Internet.
-Capture common misspellings of your domain name, instead of sending visitors to an error page.
-Protect your brand and online identity from unsavory parties.

Whonami-A domain name and a website are two very different things

Do you already have a domain name? Don’t just let it sit there. Do something with it!

While domains and websites are closely connected, they are two very different things. After registering a domain, you need to do something with it, put it to work for you. Your domain can be used for a website, for an email account, or for both. You can, however, register a domain and choose NOT to use it for a website or an email account, BUT you can’t have a website or an email account without a domain.

When used for a website, your domain name is what people type into their browser to find your site – this is why they are sometimes referred to as web addresses. So Whonami.com is the domain used for Whonami’s website. Registering a domain, however, doesn’t automatically create a website – it only means that you’ve registered the domain.

So for example, if you decided to start your own business and you thought of great name for it, you might copyright the name to protect it. However, simply giving your business a name is only one of many steps that go into building your business. In the same manner, when you register a domain and want to use it for a website, you’ll need to first build the website, and then find a host for it, so it can be visible on the Web.

What’s a “host”? Website hosts are companies that house, serve, and maintain files for one or more websites. Think of a website hosting company like a shopping center that contains several individual stores. If you want to open a store at the shopping center, you can lease space and set up shop. Just like a shopping center, website hosting companies enable you to lease space on their web servers where you can store your website files and make them available for visitors to view.

Because you have registered your domain, you can use it at any web hosting company you want. Remember your store in the shopping center? Suppose you decided to move your store and lease space at a different shopping center. If you packed up your products and moved to a new location, you would still be able to use the same name for your store. The same is true for your domain – regardless of where you decided to host your website’s files, your domain remains yours for the duration of your registration.

WHONAMI is both a domain registrar AND a website hosting company – and we have the tools to help you build your website. This means you can register your domain name, build a website for it, and get it on the web – all in one place.

Google Design and content guidelines for webmaster

Google is the king of search engines. So Google design and content guidelines are very important for every webmaster. It could effect directly to their website ranking, traffic in Google search results. Bellowing are the guidelines from Google:

– Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.

– Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages.

– Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.

– Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.

– Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn’t recognize text contained in images. If you must use images for textual content, consider using the “ALT” attribute to include a few words of descriptive text.

– Make sure that your <title> elements and ALT attributes are descriptive and accurate.

– Check for broken links and correct HTML.

– If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a “?” character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.

– Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).
