Domain names are the familiar, easy to remember names for computers on the Internet (such as internic.net).

Domains: Buying an Existing Domain Name Vs a New Domain Name

No one can deny that the Internet is here to stay and that businesses who do not embrace the internet are going to struggle in the coming years. With the Internet and Search Engines reaching a new level of maturity, I have noticed in their rankings that they are beginning to put more and more weight on the age of the domain in their index and because of this we have now reached a crossroad for many businesses to evaluate whether they are better off buying an existing domain versus registering a brand new domain. But Buyer Beware! 

I have met many many people who have benefited and also been burnt by buying existing domain names. The major disadvantage of buying an existing domain name is that it may have been banned from the search engines for in appropriate search engine tactics, better known as black hat techniques. My own personal experience with the search engines and trying to talk to a human being in the past to plead my case over an issue with one of our own domains has made me come to the realization that none of them have a clue of what customer service is and they do not care what they do to you and this is where the problem lies when buying existing domains. 

If you purchase a domain that has been banned for either Search Engine Black Hat techniques or for click fraud then you can pretty much write off that domain ever getting into the indexes ever again. Which means that if you are relying principally on traffic from the search engines, then you are going to invest a lot of money and get absolutely no outcome? In fact one of our own clients was caught where the domain they had purchased was banned in just about every index and by many of the pay-per-click engines as well. Literally the money they outlaid for this domain were totally wasted. 

Look, there are many reasons why domains can be banned and in some cases they are banned by indexes for the owners simply not understanding the rules that the various search engines place on the websites that they index. Whilst that is no excuse in the scheme of things, as a buyer it is something you need to be aware of. 

The key advantage of buying an existing domain that has been indexed is that it is often easier to optimize that site for certain keywords than it is for using one that is a brand new domain. If you believe the stories of Google's sandbox rule, then all new domains will take 6 to 12 months to rank well which means for a business that is purely internet based that could send you bankrupt and I can assure you I have seen that happen. Whether or not you believe or do not believe that the Google sandbox rule exists, in most search engines, the age of the domain in the index does play a role in your ranking. I have seen webpages in the index that have been there for 10 years and have less than 20 back links on extremely competitive terms and rank in the top 5 of those competitive keywords. 

The bottom line is this, where possible and if you can afford it, buying an existing domain name that is already in the index is a valuable commodity. Even more so if there is an associated website to go with it. Just look at the money Google paid to You Tube for their site. 

Over the last few years my team and I have helped many clients broker existing domain names, usually associated with their companies name, that have been in the index by people creating adsense accounts for Google or Yahoo and once they get control of the domains they have seen vast improvements in their traffic flow and search engine positions because the domains they had bought had been in the index for some period. In fact every one of them that has done this now has top 2 rankings in all the major search engines. 

When we are evaluating domains that have been owned for some period there are a range of elements that my team and I look for. The general elements we review include - 

1. Is the website currently working? 2. Does the domain exist in any of the major search engines 3. Can you verify ownership of the domain or is the domain details blocked? 4. Where is the domain currently residing? 5. Is the domain in an area on the Internet that is used by black hat people or organizations that use questionable techniques? 6. What is the IP Number of the server the domain resides on? 7. Can we find any indications of references to issues with this domain name on professional search engine forums or bloggs? 8. Does the domain reside on any black lists for spam or for activities related to advertising? We also look to see if the domain is on any number of white lists as well (this is a positive issue)? 9. Does the domain have a history in traffic tools such as Alexa? Have there been any comments or statements placed in the Alexa Register or similar registers? 10. Is the domain registered with a reputable domain registration company? 

My team and I will also look at whether or not this domain has been owned by a range of different companies or individuals and in particular if it has been deleted or pre-owned before today and resold. 

I should note that there are many other issues we look at but the ten above are the key issues everyone should look at when deciding to buy an existing domain. There are many reasons why domains may not have positive findings for each of the issues above, but just like you were trying to buy a business you need to see if there are any issues and if there are can they be dealt with and are they likely to cost you money. Nobody likes to lose money on a deal, especially me, and when buying domains you need to make sure that you have done your homework and that the domain is worth the money you are investing. 

Sometimes, you are better off simply paying a few dollars and putting in a lot of hard work with a new domain then buying a domain for a few thousand dollars to find that you can never rank well in the search engines because it has been banned.

What’s in a (domain) name? Yahoo to offer ymail, rocketmail

Yahoo's free e-mail service has been around long enough that, if you want to sign up now, there's a good chance you won't get the address you want. Is your name Helen Funk? HelenFunk@yahoo.com is gone -- you'll end up with HelenFunk95940300958@yahoo.com . . . if you're lucky.

That's why Yahoo today will begin letting folks sign up for brand new e-mail addresses under two domains -- ymail and rocketmail. It also gives Yahoo a chance to grow its matured e-mail business. Starting at about 2 p.m. CDT, you can be part of a rush to get a decent e-mail address that runs through Yahoo's servers and Web-mail interface.

Ymail is obviously a play on Gmail, Google's excellent mail service. From Mashable:

Ymail, on the other hand, is a clear jab at Gmail. Although Yahoo Mail is the market leader with the most users (266 million worldwide in April), Google caused a major disruption when they offered nearly unlimited storage capacity. That, along with the fact that Gmail was great at killing spam and really easy to use, was enough to grab a big piece of the free e-mail market -- 101 million users in April, according to the AP. Yahoo and Microsoft have, for the most part, caught up with Gmail's storage offering -- Yahoo Mail now offers unlimited storage -- but Gmail is now killing them with features and great integration with other Google services.

Rocketmail was a free e-mail service that Yahoo acquired with an acquisition in 1997. I had a Rocketmail account, and loved it for the same reasons I love Gmail today - it was simple, clean, fast and easy to use. The 2008 version, though, will point at Yahoo's current interface.


If you want to grab a better e-mail address, hop onto Yahoo's mail site at 2 p.m. CDT today. If Yahoo's servers can survive the onslaught, you might be able to walk away with an address that makes sense.

Update: Some users trying to sign up are only seeing @yahoo.com as the domain name, while others see a dropdown box letting you choose from @yahoo.com, @ymail.com and @rocketmail.com. If you don't have a choice, trying coming at the page from mail.yahoo.com or www.ymail.com. You may have to make several stabs at it before the dropdown appears.

Choosing a Domain Name

Domain names, like yahoo.com, give customers an easy way to remember how to find you.

Yahoo! Store can automatically register and transfer domain names, and forward emails for .com, .net, and .org domains. We can also provide name service and hosting for other types of domain names such as country code top level domains (ccTLD), but because other naming authorities do not have automated registration processes, you must register for ccTLD domain names yourself.

Yahoo! Store also provides email forwarding for domain names you register through your Store account.

Domain registration is $35 per year to register a new domain. Domain transfers are $10 per year.

What makes a good domain name? 
A good domain name should be easy to remember, easy to spell, and preferably short. The name of your company is always a good choice. If your desired domain name is already taken, you can search if the .net or .org variation is available. You may also use hyphens to create unique domain names. 
What characters are allowed? 
.Com, .net, and .org domain names must meet these requirements: They cannot exceed 67 characters, including the characters in the suffix (63 characters plus the 4 character .xyz). Only letters, numbers, or hyphens are permitted. A domain name may not begin or end with a hyphen. These requirements are not set by Yahoo!. They are part of the regulatory standards that .com, .net and .org domain names must follow.
What's the difference between http://yahoo.com and http://www.yahoo.com?
Not a lot. By default, Yahoo! Store makes both URLs work. You can advertise whichever one you like the best.
Do I need to put the http:// on?
Probably not. Most web sites just advertise www.widgetdesigns.com. The www. is a good enough clue to people that it's a web address, so you don't need to say it. All popular browsers let you simply type www.widgetdesigns.com into the URL window. 
Should I get a lot of domain names?
You may register and own an unlimited number of domain names. In addition to .com, many people register the .net and .org variations of their primary domain name. Each domain name costs $35.00 per year. If you already own a domain name, you can transfer it for $10.00 per year.
Who owns the domain name I register?
If you register a domain name through Yahoo! Store, you may designate the Registrant (owner) and Administrator. Yahoo! is only listed as the technical contact and nameservers. As the Registrant, you have final authority and responsibility regarding the use of your domain name. For more information, refer to the Yahoo! Store Domain Service Agreement. 
How can I change my domain name?
Changing a domain name associated with a Yahoo! Store is not possible. You can, however, register a new domain name then keep or cancel the old one. 
What is the public domain name database?
A public domain name database (also known as Whois) contains contact information for all domain names. There are many registrars that register .com, .net and, .org domain names. Each of these registrars maintain their own public domain database

Yahoo! Store registers your domain name through Internet Names Worldwide (Melbourne IT)*, an ICANN Accredited registrar. 
The personal contact information you provide as the Registrant and Administrative contact is used to register your domain name. As required by the Internet's governing organization (ICANN), this information will be made publicly available. For more information, refer to the Yahoo! Store Domain Service Agreement.

Records of all domain names registered by the registrar, Internet Names Worldwide, are maintained in their public domain domain database. The information includes Registrant, Administrator, technical contact, and nameserver information as well as record creation, update, and expiration dates. This information is available through many publicly accessible interfaces. You'll find a list of whois resources in Yahoo!'s directory. 
How do I update my contact information in the public domain database?
The personal information you provided in your order was used to register your domain name. As required by ICANN, the Internet governance organization, this information was made publicly available. If you would like to change or update this contact information, please contact customer care.


Please note: If you registered your domain name through Yahoo! Store before March 21, 2001, your domain name's registrar is Network Solutions. Update your contact information by going to the Manage It section at Network Solutions.

What is the difference between .com, .net, and .org domain names?
Originally, the three letter suffix after the dot in domain names indicates whether the domain name was used for commercial (.COM), network (.NET), or non-profit (.ORG) purposes.

Although there are guidelines, anyone may register these regardless of the intended use.

.Net and .org suffixes are good alternatives if the domain names you want in .com is already taken.

Cancelling your Yahoo! Store
Once you cancel your Yahoo! Store, you will be responsible for all future domain registration and renewal fees. Your domain name will remain registered to you unless you either contact the registrar, Melbourne IT to delete the domain name or you stop paying the domain renewal fees.

*If you registered your domain name through Yahoo! Store before March 21, 2001, your domain name’s registrar is Network Solutions.
