INVEST IN PREMIUM DOMAINS

Buy and manage a premium domain name

At the time of registering an Internet domain should follow a series of recommendations. Each website is different than the other, as is its creator on the other. The websites are a reflection of the people behind and be able to identify with them and enable others to identify them. Having an Internet domain name, therefore, is an advantage for many users, being able to associate a personal web page or an email account. However, it is necessary to take into account a number of recommendations for recording and managing a domain name safely. Domain names are internet addresses that allow access to a website to type it in your browser. Behind them are the DNS (Domain Name System), which are to be a numerical correlation, something like a domain identifier. This system consists of a distributed database whose purpose is to collect IP addresses for each web server and assign a domain name. That is, when a user enters "www.charms.es" DNS servers in charge of targeting the server IP 67.219.65.132. In this way, users can more easily remember a web address.

Domain names have different extensions, depending on the type of content or country houses. Domain names ending in??. Com? ","?. Net? and??. org? are called generic top level domains, and are the most used. In particular?. Com?. At first, these extensions were created for specific activities or commercial type projects in network and non-profit, but now used for any type of project due to shortage of them. These extensions were created for specific activities or commercial type projects in network and non-profit, but now used for any type of project. At a second level domains are territorial and?. Is it? for Spain?. fr? in France?. pt? to Portugal. These domains are of interest to local companies and entities and each is managed by a local agency. In Spain, the domains?. Is it? are managed by the public entity through ESNIC Red.es. These agencies are responsible for accrediting registrars actors, ie companies where users and companies can go to handle the purchase or renew a domain name.

Each of the local organizations responsible for managing domain names from one country setting access conditions and rates them. In Spain, for many years, the domains?. Is it? were not widely accepted because of its high price with respect to generic top level domains and the conditions imposed in their processing. However, after a simplification of procedures and the subsequent fall in prices last summer domains?. Is it? amounted to one million domains registered. At a third level, are the domains of the type?. Com.es? or??. nom.es?. These domains have the advantage of a cheaper price, so they are a convenient option for home users who need a name on the Internet.

Choose a domain name and start getting traffic

At the time of registering a domain name, choose the word or combination of these is the first action to be performed by users. However, the key words in most common languages in the world are registered for years. The lack of speech or good combinations is one of the problems when registering a domain. This can be seen with domains?. Com?, Where all possible combinations of three letters are registered for years. There is, however, a market for buying and selling domains where users and companies can come to buy at the price stipulated by their own domains already registered. One of the most known is Sedo.com.

There are companies that give advice to corporations wishing to have an impact on the web. Ciampi Group is an example of consultants providing this service. "This activity, sometimes speculative, is based on search words related to different sectors, including leisure, tourism and gambling, which may be of particular importance to creating an online business. Generic words such as nouns and adjectives in relation to a particular activity, are the most sought after because they are the first to use Internet search engines" says José A López-Esteras Camacho, General Manager of Ciampi Group. Due to the lack of domain names and extensions most often used to promote the creation of custom domains, NABCI, the body responsible for control of domain names, has liberalized its use. From 2010, companies and institutions that meet certain requirements may request the creation of domain extensions associated with their marks. In this way, companies like Google or Apple could have, if they so choose, extensions like?. Google? or??. apple?.

At the time of registering an Internet domain should follow a series of recommendations. The main recommendation is to go directly to the website of a trusted domain registrar domain names to search for free and can be registered. These companies not only offer domain registration services, but also have hosting plans, email accounts associated, etc. For domains?. Is it?, ESNIC offers registrars a list of agents where to go. There are also online services that facilitate the checking of names in different domain extensions while you type, such as the Web Instant Domain Search. When you register a domain name, it must be renewed by paying a fee, on a regular basis. When you register a domain name, it must be renewed by paying a fee, on a regular basis. The minimum period is one year, but may be renewed for further years. The renewal is usually performed between 60 and 30 days before the date of termination. Typically, companies register send an automated email alert, but you should write down the date on a calendar if this would not happen.

To register a name is important to read the fine print of these services, since in the past, some registrars were accused of registering domain names automatically free those looking into their systems for users who did not complete the registration process with them. Other recommendations include that the owner's name appears as the owner of the domain data. For this reason, it is imperative that these data are the user or company, as in case of conflict, a domain registered with false names can be easily canceled. It is imperative that data is the user, as in case of conflict, a domain registered with false names can be easily canceled. It is recommended that the Registrar has a online platform for the management of the domain, so users can update or change it without need for these procedures are performed solely by the registrar. In addition, the customer service is another aspect to consider. It is not the same contact with a company based in the same country as another user located in a different time and language.

Prices of domain names vary from one registrar to another, often using aggressive offers and even offer free domains. However, these offerings include a priori unseen costs associated with buying or even a much higher price than the competition at the time of renewal. There have also been cases, registration free offers, where the holder of the domain registered by the user is the company register.

Domain hosting: Once you register a domain name, you can use it associated with a system hosting the page, it is necessary to redirect the domain to that platform. Normally it should be noted in the data management of the DNS domain hosting web server (known as? Hosting? In English). These data should be provided by the company or the hosting service used. Some platforms free hosting of websites, as the system of Blogger or Tumblr blogs, have a service to allow users to redirect a domain name to the web address created for the blog. In the network, there are several tutorials that serve as clues to help users to make these changes. One option is recommended to start using a hosting service on a shared server. In the case of opting for a paid hosting service, you must think ahead to the type of website that will host, as well as their technical requirements, such as having support for MySQL database and programming language and interpreter as PHP and Perl. One option is recommended to start using a hosting service on a shared server with other clients. Thus, the machine's resources are split between the hosted pages. This solution is useful for websites that do not require high consumption of resources and having an average between 50 and 5,000 visits per day.

For web projects with a greater number of visits, or who require custom configurations or a high number of available resources, the natural choice is to rent a dedicated server. Depending on the type of hardware, and connectivity requirements, the price can vary, as these services are intended for professional use. Webspace so that pages can be accessible from the Internet, must be housed in a special computer, which needs a permanent connection to the Internet, and is prepared to respond to the burden of serving thousands of web pages at once. Although this service we could offer from our home computer, users will just offset the easements that you request pages yourself (having your computer always on, save backups?). These special computers called "servers" and there are many companies who rent part of their servers to host multiple websites on them. These companies are known as "web space providers, and are divided between those that offer this accommodation for free or charging. Each model has its advantages and disadvantages:

Stay Free: In many cases, by hiring an Internet access connection such as DSL or cable, the company offers access provider, free of charge, a small web space on their servers. The main problem with this option is that it forces the address of the website is a sub (long and hard to memorize) of the company providing Internet access. Therefore, it is not the best solution if you have your own domain, but you can use a redirection (a service offered by some companies domain registration) to alleviate this problem: when a surfer type the domain into the browser, it will be automatically redirected to the sub in which you are the Web site.

In addition to free web space offered by the Internet access business, there are many others that offer hosting for free, without buying any product or service in return. Most of them are located in the U.S. companies that offer free space in exchange for placing advertising on the web-hosting sites (some companies do not even introduce advertising). They usually offer a service (in English) and a number of benefits significantly lower than those of a lodging fee, but often are more than sufficient to accommodate a personal message. Some of these free hosting companies are:

freewebs.com offers 40 megabytes of Web space and does not insert advertisements. It includes dozens of tools such as editors, statistical systems, etc. doteasy.com No ads and with many benefits. Offer 20 megabytes of space. 50megs.com provides 50 megabytes of Web space. Insert advertising. In freewebspace.net and absolutely-free-hosting.com can access a directory of companies offering free hosting, and search to find the one that best suits the needs of our web-site. Accommodation payment: The paid hosting companies offer more advanced features that free, as more web space, total lack of advertising, faster loading pages, multiple control and configuration tools for the web-site, as well as better support and personalized attention. In Europe, the monthly price of basic accommodation ranges from five to 25 euros. Housing benefits can be customized, so the price will also increase. For comparison, a list is available most of the hosting companies located in Germany, as well as a search engine that locates the most appropriate web provider.

Create, publish and update: Once the availability of space to be created web pages that are then accessible from the Internet. This is one of the most technically complicated parts in the process of creating a web-site, as they usually require knowledge of design and programming. To design, the recommended program is Adobe Photoshop (owner and payment) or GIMP (free and fee), while the programming of the pages can be done in a way simpler, with programs such as Macromedia Dreamweaver (for Windows and Mac OS X) or Nvu (Linux). For message, once created, can be accessed from the Internet should be placed on the website of the server. This can be done in two ways:

FTP: Stands for File Transfer Protocol (File Transfer Protocol). It is a system which, through a program that is installed on your computer, upload all files to the Internet server. To do so, we must have a user name and password (provided by your web space), which protect web pages and prevent any intruder can change its contents. Despite its complexity (simplified greatly by using graphical tools FTP) FTP is the best way to update a web-site, offering free to modify any aspect. There are several FTP programs like WS-FTP (for Windows), Interarchy (Mac OS X) and gFTP (Linux).

Wizards for creating content: Some hostels offer web programs installed on your own web server. Its function is through a set of forms, automatically create pages, with a predefined format and design (although you can customize). It is a system very similar to programs that allow you to create pages within the personal computer, with the difference that these wizards are installed in the web server. Thus, the pages are created without knowing any programming language, or subsequently be uploaded via FTP. They are usually very simple to use and requires no technical knowledge, but in return, quite limited possibilities and does not offer as much freedom as upload pages created on your computer using FTP.

Within this group of attendees are the Blogs or weblogs. They are a type of websites that are based on a system of automatic publication of content. They are designed as diaries, in which its author or authors introduce news and reviews that surfers can comment. The difference between a personal web-site and a blog is often not clear, but a blog is conceived as a kind of personal file which are scoring and adding the experiences of the author and / or news on a particular topic. Therefore, blogs are a subdivision within-web sites

The new Premium SMS Services

The regulation of short numbers attempts to increase consumer information and avoid scams. The mobile short codes, also known as Premium SMS, are common in television and radio programs to encourage participation from viewers or listeners, and utilized as a form of micropayment on the Internet. However, these messages cost much more than the conventional SMS. In late November, came into force legislation designed to avoid that consumers spend in excess and ensure that if they do, know well how much they invest. One of the great problems of the SMS or MMS Premium was the lack of clear information on the price of each message. In many cases, consumers did not know how much totaled. The system promoted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade aims to facilitate the identification of the cost of each type of Premium SMS from their first two or three figures.

The five-digit numbers beginning with 25, 27 and 28 indicate that the message will have a maximum cost of $ 1.20. Among them, it must differentiate the numbers beginning with 280, which is earmarked for campaigns to raise funds for charity projects or charity, as recently happened to the natural disaster in Haiti, and have a different tax. The numbers led by 2 posts are reserved for occasional off contests in units or small purchases. When you want to sell a subscription service, such as news alerts or ringtones, you should use six-digit numbers beginning with 795 or 797. In these cases, the price does not exceed 1.20. The numbers led by 2 posts are reserved for occasional off contests in units or small purchases

Instead, pay attention to the five-digit numbers starting with 35 or 37, because the price exceed $ 1.20 and could reach a maximum of six euros per SMS. The six-digit reserved for adult content, which was initiated by 995, 997 or 999, also reached a maximum cost of six euros. Other well-known short numbers are telephone information, beginning with the popular prefix 118 and are complemented by two other figures. Rates are variable and depend on each operator's own service and you are calling from the user. Exact cost and the right to disconnect. To prevent shocks on the phone bill, the new regulation requires operators to report the maximum cost of any advertising message to make it and send the user a message indicating the exact cost, and the name of the company is provided and telephone number of customer service.

If the cost of the message rises above 1.20, the user must confirm you want the service through a free SMS. If the cost of the message rises above 1.20, the user must confirm you want the service through a free SMS. If no answer, the regulations require operators to understand that not to participate, without requiring you to send a message that explains his stance. In subscription services, the company must inform the consumer in all cases on how to unsubscribe. The regulations also prevent the practice of requesting two or more messages to provide the service, a trick that was done without notifying the consumer that more was needed for an SMS service. This had become customary, especially in the case of buy ringtones for your cell phone or participate in game shows. Similarly, as these premium numbers are often used on the Internet to take part in competitions or votes, the new law requires telephone carriers to disconnect service to allow users who are unwilling. In this way, parents can ensure that their children do not spend money on this type of communication.

You can not cross the line.  The regulation also covers the possibility that the user receives an invoice for telephone use disproportionate due to shipments of Premium SMS messages. If considering it wrong to protest and refuse to pay the full cost, the mobile operator can not cut the line if the customer pays a proportionate share of posts covering the expense of the operator, which can approach conventional cost of a text message. In this case, the telephone company could only cut off access to premium numbers as greater punishment.

On the other hand, "the Code of Conduct adopted in June 2009 for the operators of this service collects disqualifications of up to one year in case of breaching these obligations. Among the causes of these sanctions include the sending of unsolicited messages, or spam as applied to mobile telephony" remembers Jose Lopez-Esteras Camacho, from Ciampi Group.
