If you have a website for your small business or organization, not only do you receive spam offers for SEO Packages or web design, but you likely have received hard-copy letters in your postal mail warning you to renew domain services now! I receive plenty of these and get calls regularly from my clients to confirm that they should ignore them. I actually tell people to feel free to rip them up, stomp on them and maybe even burn them.
Domain Registration scams continue, even though I feel the government should have shut them down years ago. I’ve recently received notices from 2 different “companies”. Domain Name Services and Delaware Domain Directory sound pretty authoritative, and the letter looks exactly like a bill. Don’t fall for it!
They easily grab your info from your actual registrar, so the info looks real. Their price is 10x higher than what your domain likely renews for automatically.
Call your web designer or hosting company if in any doubt, or feel free to call Webmaster Ray at 302-685-3536. I can help you register or transfer registration for no additional charge and actually reduce your cost.
Domain registration is your website address, which can also be used for your official email account. Include keywords in your URL when possible for better search engine optimization.
Domain Related Services and Information
Domain Forwarding: If you own two or more domain names, one may point to the other. For example, use a short URL on your business card such as www.MySite.com. When a visitors punches that in, your actual www.MyCompleteWebsite.com will open. You can create additional domains for specific products or services.
