Just like any business, your domain name is your identity. Think of it as your online business card. If you are serious about marketing your products and services on the internet, do it right from the start.

What are domain names?
Domain names are hostnames that provide more easily memorable names to stand in for numeric IP addresses. In fact, this reminds us a little bit of phone numbers. Would not it be easier for us to dial M-C-D-O-N-A-L-D-S instead of having to remember their ten digit phone number? They are sometimes colloquially (and incorrectly) referred to by marketers as “Web addresses”. The following examples illustrate the difference between a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and a domain name:

URL: http://www.telivo.com/

Domain name: telivo.com

Domain names can contain numbers and letters, plus the hyphen. And the domain name can contain up to 67 characters.

Does it really matter?
A big YES! is the answer. A good domain name is an asset especially if you have your own domain name. Why? Because of the following reasons:

• Build name recognition for your company
• Create a professional image
• Cyber Mobility – you can move your site without loosing your domain name
• The domain name can be optimized for your business, like bestdownload.com. It is much easier to sell and advertise with good domain name. It will most likely be the first thing that your potential customers will encounter, and remember your company if they find your business online.

Tips in choosing and creating a good domain name

• .com and .co.uk are the most common TLD's. There other TLDs like .me.uk, .net and others
• Maximize your domain name into advertising your company as well. Like bestdownload.com, people will understand what that means and make them want to visit your site. It gives them question on what kind of best downloads you offer.
• If you cannot come up with a descriptive domain name, choose a memorable short name that is attractive. Brand it! Meaning, choose a great logo and advertise always (by including prominently in your ads and marketing) and make a slogan that will really reinforce the name in people’s mind.

History of Halloween

Many people think Halloween originated with the Christian holiday of All Hallows Eve which was to honour all the Saints that had died in the past year. This is not true, however. All Hallows Eve was celebrated in May when it was originated by the Catholic church, but in 834 AD it was moved from May to October in order to combine it with an ancient Druid festival in October. So what was the original pagan holiday which began what is celebrated as Halloween today? Halloween began some 2,000 years ago among the Celts. Ancient Druids who lived in what is now England, France, Scotland and Wales celebrated the Vigil of Samhain honouring their god, Samhain, lord of the dead. This holiday was celebrated on the Celtic New Year’s Eve which falls on our October 31st. These people believed that on this day the wicked spirits of the dead came back to wreak havoc and mayhem on the living. The holiday and all that took place was designed to appease Samhain as well as the spirits of these wicked dead.
