What is a Domain name?
A domain name identifies and locates computers and resources connected to the Internet worldwide.
No two organisations can have the same domain name.
Every company or organisation that wants to be on the Internet
should register a suitable domain name for use as their online identity.
It is a vital element for positioning your brand or company on the Internet,
the front door to your e-commerce system, such as your organisation's website or email system.
It has to be short, memorable and descriptive.

Parked Domains on Hold
We have secured a few generic domains, regional networks, and rare three letter domains for future development,
ready for use by our clients or our own services.
Some of our clients also park their domains on our server until deployment.
A domain maybe on hold for one of these reasons:
- It is awaiting development.
- It is awaiting transfer.
- It is used as a mail server.
- It has unpaid hosting services.
- It is parked here by a client.

Domain Name Market Boom
Internet domain names are red-hot investments again.
The market has rebounded from a "depression" after the dot-com bubble burst in 2000.
Sales volume more than doubled over the previous decade and the pace is getting faster.
Domain names are 21st century real estate in an economy that is being increasingly driven by the Internet sector,
as more people and advertisers move online.
Internet ad revenue reached around $13 billion in the USA alone.
Especially hot are domains that have anything to do with
the property market, travel destinations, hotels and leisure.
Some Internet addresses have resold for at least six figures to companies and individuals hoping to tap into big audiences.
On.com got $635,000. Macau.com fetched $550,000.
Sex.com sold for a record $12 million in cash and stock to adult-entertainment company Escom.
Even frequently misspelled names sell: Mortage.com went for $242,400 recently.
A patient speculator can buy a name for $30,000 now and, a few years later, sell it for a significant profit.
However, new laws have made speculating for domains containing celebrity and company names extremely hard,
so don't go for such domain names.
