Be careful with your domains

Posted by David on Jun 25th, 2009

Domains are important part of your business as they allow customers to easily identify you on the internet. You may have the same name on the internet as you do in the real world but in some cases you may have a totally different name depending on whether your domain was available, whatever your domain name you need to protect it as it is important.

Many domain registration companies try to scam people out of their domains or obtain money by deception by making you believe your domain is about to expire unless you pay them a lot of money.

Domains vary in prices depending on the TLD or Top Level Domain so a .co.uk would cost around £8 - £10, .com would be around £25 - £30 and this is for 2 years registration. Some of the scammers ask for $75 a year and also make it look attractive and worth your while saving money if you register for 10 years.

Dr Adept include domain renewals in all hosting agreements and do not charge extra for this, pay your hosting fees on time and Dr Adept renew domain without any worry on your part.


Here is an example of an email I received recently telling me in no uncertain terms that I needed to renew my domain or it would be cancelled.
