GoDaddy has a great deal on .TV domain names: only $19.99/yr! That’s right, they usually go for over $40! I expect that many of the great .TV domains are going to start disappearing fast with prices this low, so hurry up and register yours while they’re still available.
Private Registration is usually $8.99 per domain name, but if you register 5 or more, you get free Private Registration on all domains in your cart. I try to buy domain names 5 at a time to get the free Private Registration. It saves me nearly $50, and I can qualify for the discount by adding one or two cheap $2.99 .INFO domains to my cart.
www vs. Non-www?
The problem is that www is considered a sub-domain, just like: http://mail.yahoo.com or http://analytics.google.com.
Search engines consider subdomains to be a completely different web site. So, http://www.dauclair.com is a completely different site than http://dauclair.com in Google’s eyes.
This affects your SEO in two areas:
- If Google happens to index your site as both www and non-www, you may be penalized for duplicate content. Your site is essentially competing against itself.
- Google determines your PageRank, the importance of your site, by the number of inbound links your site has. So, if people are linking to www, but your site is indexed as non-www, you are missing out on all the inbound links pointing to your www site.
So you just bought your domain name from GoDaddy and you are wondering what to do next? It is time to point your newly acquired domain name at your web server. We call this ‘Pointing’ or ‘Setting up’ your nameservers.
So What is a Nameserver?
Nameservers are like the road signs of the internet. For example, if you type a domain name into your web browser (also known as an ‘address’), a site usually pops up. That is because your browser followed all the road signs (nameservers) until it ended up at your destination, the web site you were requesting. These road signs need to be setup by somebody. That somebody is probably you, unless you have a web designer working for you, who will gladly handle this task.
