Question by Leah: How long does it take godaddy to take down a deleted domain?
I recently deleted a godaddy domain name, and the website still exists (but is not registered to me, obviously since I deleted it from my account). Godaddy says a deleted domain might be held in the registry before releasing it for other users to register. What does that mean? Will the website ever just disappear?

Answer by GoDaddy Social Media Team
Leah,

The domain name and the website are, essentially, two separate products. If the domain name has been deleted from your account, the website associated with the domain will typically go down almost immediately. However, if the website has another domain associated with it, the site will still be accessible via that domain. The website would exist on a hosting account that, if it is still active, will display the site as long as there is a domain or URL to point to it. I recommend contacting our Support Team directly as they’re available 24/7 and can take a look at the domain and any associated site for you. You can contact them via http://x.co/support

Question by moxie_curly: why do you have to buy domain names?
Essentially, I would just like someone to explain the domain name registry system. Why do I have to pay money to a company for something that doesn’t exist? Also, why can’t you BUY the domain, as opposed to rent?

Best answer:

Answer by Toby
Someone has to be in charge, and manage things so that no two people try to use the same domain. The people that do that are The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) http://www.icann.org/

The money you pay goes to fund ICANN to manage all domains. Even if you pay for your domain through someone else, such as Go Daddy or another host, they have to turn around and give that money to ICANN.

Question by santiago_ortiz2001: domain name registry in texas?

Best answer:

Answer by Dave Zan
You mean is there a domain REGISTRAR based in Texas?

The Registry is the authoritative database record holder for a compiled list of registrations. For .com and .net, it’s currently managed by VeriSign.

Instead of registering domain names directly (due to contract restrictions), the Registry has a select group of companies called “registrars” to do the registration and management directly.

One registrar I know that’s based in Texas is GKG.net. I’ve not used them so I don’t know how effective and efficient they are.

Sometimes it makes sense to buy things in pairs. For example, you should probably buy a monitor when you purchase a computer since you’re going to need both. Besides, if you buy them at the same time and at the same place, you could end up getting a better deal. The same sort of things applies to domain name hosting as well. There are a few things that you should include in your package because they would integral to your site’s success.

As obvious as it may seem, you should make sure to register a name when you sign up for hosting. Sometimes, coming up with a name can be tricky, but you’ll get a better deal if you purchase one right from the get-go. Most hosting packages throw a domain name in for free, so it doesn’t make sense to purchase it separately. If you’re having trouble coming up with a name, turn to random pages in the dictionary for inspiration. Believe it or not, a good number of sites came up with their name that way. If you already have a name in mind but it’s taken, consider altering the spelling slightly or going with a different extension. Many sites choose the ?.net? or ?.org? extensions and you can too. Finally, consider purchasing the name you want from the current owner, assuming they offer it for a reasonable price of course.

Once you have a domain name and you’ve picked your hosting, you should make sure to sign up for private registration. Everyone who registers a name has to be added to the WHOIS service, including you. That service is in place so that anyone can look up the owner of a site in order to direct legitimate queries to them. Unfortunately, such a platform is also perfect for spammers. Thankfully, private registration allows your personal information to be shielded while still allowing legitimate concerns to get through. If you value your privacy at all, sign up for private registration.

If your site is going to have user accounts or host private information of any kind, you’re going to want to make sure to get a security certificate from your domain registry too. In essence, that technology encrypts data that gets sent back and forth to your site so that internet users don’t have to worry about their data being viewed by a malicious third party. Not only is this kind of technology good for your customers, it’s also good for your business too. Whenever people can feel safer on your site, your business will benefit.

Finally, you should look into getting email addresses associated with your site. Normally, most packages will throw in a number of email addresses for you but you’ll have to take care of the servers yourself. Anyone who has ever had to set up email servers can tell you that it’s a lot more complicated than it may sound. Fortunately, your registry can make things easy. They often provide professional yet affordable email hosting solutions that you can take advantage of. You can end up having email addresses associated with your domain name without the associated headaches that usually go along with that. Once you sign up for email hosting, everything will be in place and your site will be ready for success.

Your domain name is the simplest way people remember your website and support. It is actually your first key towards the door of success. If you are preparing to build your company website, be sure to find the best domain name because it is really a critical part of your optimization procedure.

Choosing a dominating domains is each and every website or business owner’s ultimate objective. A dominating domain will give you great advantage inside your chosen niche. Though Google relies seriously on keywords, your cool domain name continues to be the deciding factor for searchers to go to your site.

Refrain from Using Your organization Name Unless Your Business Is Very popular

The problem with small companies is they forget the reality that they’re just new.

No one knows about them and also the probability of their name being looked is zero. Using your company name as the website name is cool if your business has brought its mark on a certain market. But if not, this idea happens to be a no-no.

Your Domain Should Reflect Your selected Niche

In choosing an effective website name, you can consider using a title that identifies or describes your market or business. For example, you could use theitalianrestaurant. com instead of johnodeliciouspasta. com. In this instance, Google will find you easier because your domain directly suggests a particular niche, which is Italian Restaurant. This is actually the SEO-friendly way of domain building. Making use of your company name as name is critically non-beneficial for you because search engines tend to associate keywords to anchored link website name and niches.

Check If The Name You would like Is Still Available

With so many registered domains available, you have to be sure that name you’ve chosen was not registered yet. Make a list of prospective titles for your business or website to help you have alternative choices in case your selected name is already in use. You may also do a little research on existing domain inside your niche. Scan names that fill the very best ranks in search engines, and get an idea for your own personel name.

Be Specific

Always relate your name for your niche. Do not use jargons or unpopular language that may confuse searchers. Be particular. Think of your target audience, and donâ??t forget to become creative as well. A unique and creative website name is a real eye-candy to your own audience.

Do Registry Cleaners offer value for money or are they just another scam?

Type “Registry” into a search engine and you will find countless testimonials, reviews and recommendations for “Registry Cleaners”. This article is different. We challenge the wide spread conception that “Registry Cleaners” are beneficial for Windows based operating systems.

Background

There are many web sites that promote registry cleaner software and the benefits. Almost all have a commercial interest in doing so (e.g. software manufacturers or affiliate marketers). Search engines are flooded with sites and advertisements trying to persuade people to buy these products.

It is very difficult to find objective and substantiated information on-line regarding the true technical benefits or registry cleaners. The lack of technical data concerned me, and prompted further investigation.

In this article I offer an alternative view (based on my preliminary research) on the real implications of buying and running registry cleaner software for Microsoft Windows.

About the registry

The registry is a large file in Microsoft Windows that is responsible for keeping track of your installed software and internal operations of Windows.

It is a mystery (being totally invisible!) to a non-technical Windows user but it has attracted a reputation over the years as being responsible for computer crashes and slow downs.

Promotion & the financial opportunities

To better understand why there is heavy promotion of these products, let’s look at a typical affiliate based commission structure as follows:

A typical affiliate commission for a successful sale of one of the popular on-line products is around .

Sell 10 (quite possible in a day!), and you make 0. Not bad!

Anyone can set up a website, apply to an affiliate program and start promoting and selling these products on-line. No technical knowledge of Windows or of the registry is needed to start promotion & selling.

Marketing product claims

There are generally two benefits used to generate customer interest in these products:

1) “Fix” (e.g. error message boxes or pop-ups)

and

2) “Speed up” your computer

Assessment of the claims

As a Microsoft Certified Professional, here are my high level views on the benefits used to sell Registry Cleaners:

Do Registry Cleaners “Fix” your computer?

It depends what you mean by “Fix”. If you mean, for example, remove error pop-ups, then the answer is probably “Yes”. If you mean “Fix” where there is an underlying hardware problem such as a failing Hard Disk Drive (HDD), then the answer is probably “No”.

Do Registry Cleaners “Speed up” your computer?

I would suggest that the performance benefits of cleaning the registry are insignificant and would not be perceivable to an average user.

Slight performance gains may be possible by removing redundant registry keys or by defragmenting the registry file itself. However, any gains would be small particularly when comparing to other options for improving Windows performance such as optimizing virtual memory or by defragmenting the HDD.

Furthermore, there is more than anecdotal evidence available on-line that the frequent use of registry cleaner software can cause problems with Windows such as boot up problems (e.g. constant blue/black screens) and other corruption of the underlying operating system.

Conclusion – Too many question marks, dubious messages and conflicts of interest

Testing and independent validation is needed to establish the marketing benefit claims of registry cleaners. Until that time, could it be that, in many cases, these products simply don’t deliver what they promise to customers? As a “Windows Professional”, I have some specific technical questions around the area of the suggested performance gains with registry cleaners. If registry cleaners don’t deliver what they say, this opens up a whole other can of worms around the legalities of selling products that do not solve the problems that they claim to fix. Has anyone complained of not seeing performance gains from registry cleaners? (interesting..)

Selling and promoting of registry cleaner software is unregulated (i.e. anyone can do it) and so, it seems, are the marketing claims used to secure software sales.

I have put my findings so far on the Registry Cleaner market into the public domain as I believe, ethically, that customers should always have the opportunity to make informed decisions before buying. I would suggest that customers ask questions, do research and have a data backup strategy in place before running registry cleaners.
