Your e-mail also has to exist on a physical machine somewhere, but often organizations unnecessarily host e-mail on their network. If you have less than fifty computer users in your office then you definitely do not need to bother with your own in-house e-mail sever. Your e-mail should be hosted somewhere on the internet and you should save money accordingly. If set up correctly, the users will have no idea where their e-mail is located, nor will they care.
LuxRed will obtain a memorable website address for you. We can also provide advice about domain name research, purchasing, and dispute resolution. The process is called domain name registration. It is overseen by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
An original .com address should cost less than $35 per year to register and there are many deals that significantly reduce this cost. For example, LuxRed charges significantly less when we are also hosting your site. Different countries have different endings, such as .cr for Costa Rica. Some countries require that a natural person must be a resident of the country and/or that a company must be registered in or have a local presence in the country in order to obtain a country-level domain name.
If someone is already using your desired web address for a good faith purpose then you will probably have to buy the rights to the address from them. Alternately, you could backorder and hope that the company fails to re-register the address. Domain names are increasingly valuable. In January 2006, $12 million was reportedly paid for a domain name. However, if the seller is not using the site in good faith, do not pay more than $35 per year plus reasonable expenses. For example, if he or she is trying to extort money from you by using likeyourtrademark.com as a porn site, you should be able to have the domain name transferred to you through the Domain Name Dispute Resolution Process.
