The first step in getting your business online is selecting a domain name or
web address where your customers can go to find you. Let uSight help your
business by reserving your company's name today.
In the new Internet economy, every business or individual needs a domain
name, as it is generally the address and specifically the brand identity in
the future world. To own a domain name, a person has to register a domain name
through an ICANN accredited registrar. One can register a domain name if it
has not been previously registered.
But great domain names are scarce. To date, an
estimated 35 million domain names have been registered worldwide. A Wired
magazine survey found that out of the 25,500 standard dictionary words, only
1,760 were not registered. If you have ever tried to register the domain name
of your choice, you know how disappointing it can be to find that it is already taken.
But on the brighter side, domain names are registered for a fixed period of
time. They need to be renewed at the end of the expiry period. If the
registrar does not receive payment in time after a domain name expires, it
is released and becomes available for anyone to register. 45,000 domain
names are registered everyday and approximately 20,000 names expire daily.
A web site name can consist of a combination of letters, numbers, and dashes,
up to 22 characters in length. That is
over 31,650,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible .com names, yet
there's a shortage of desirable addresses. More than 125,000 website names
are registered per month. Two years ago the rate was only 200 per month.
Your domain name can take up to 7 business days before it will work on your
uBuilder but typically only takes 4-5 days for it to be connected to your
uBuilder. After your domain name is connected to your site, you are also
entitled to 10 e-mail addresses and 10 e-mail aliases. For instructions on requesting
