Other Added - Five Common Domain Name Myths
I remember signing up for a seminar at USC taught by the incomparable Donald C. Bryant, a Professor Emeritus from the University of Iowa.It was one of the smartest moves I ever made as a graduate student, because, arguably I did my best scholarly writing under his guidance.More than simply edifying, this experience was nearly transcendental. There were only a handful of us in this doctoral seminar, and it was rare company, indeed.In a telling comment, one of my peers looked at me as the
The year 2007 is round the corner and companies are getting ready to implement new strategies for their businesses. If your website is not working to support your business in terms of its sales, lead generation, brand building efforts etc, it’s still not too late to create a strategy that supports and facilitates your short, medium and long-term business objectives.1.

Myth: Once I register a domain, I can use it forever.
Fact: While it’s possible that you’ll keep your registered domain name forever, it’s not guaranteed. Several things can happen that would cause you to lose your domain name. First, you have to register your domain name each year (or register it for multiple years up front) in order to keep your access to it. If you forget to renew your registration, you could lose your domain name, or someone else can register it and charge you a huge fee to have it transferred back to your name. Second, you could lose your domain name in a trademark dispute.
Myth: My domain name is automatically trademarked, so no one else can ever use it or anything too similar to it (such as with other extensions).
Fact: A domain name cannot be trademarked in the US! It also isn’t protected by a copyright. However, if your business’ name is trademarked before anyone else is using it, then you could sue if someone registered a domain name using your business name (or a common misspelling) to sell products or services that are extremely similar to your own. For instance, if someone else ever tried to register something like Microsoft.net, or even microsort.net, for the purpose of selling computers and software, Microsoft could sue them to stop them from using the domain name. This is to stop scammers and competitors from trying to profit off of a trademarked name. In some countries, you can’t even register a doma

I am going to throw this out there right now, I do not have a college education and I graduated from a small town high school. When I made a decision to take a corporate position, I really thought my options were limited to how high I could go on the corporate ladder. Never would I have thought a small, green icon on my desktop could have proved me so wrong. In order to improve my position, I taught myself programs other individuals in my field didn't even want to look at and I increased my ski

Myth: If I own the trademark for my company’s name, I automatically have the right to register my company’s name as a domain name.
Fact: You do not, in fact, have the right to register any domain name, even if you have a trademark on the corresponding company name. The reason for this is that a trademark on a business name doesn’t give you exclusive access to use that name. It only gives you exclusive access to use that name for the particular products and / or services that you offer. Going back to our above example, let’s say Microsoft forgot to renew their registration on Microsoft.net. While they could sue another computer manufacturer or software company for registering the domain name without question, let’s assume it’s registered by a small company making microfiber-covered sofas and other furniture. The name makes sense – ‘micro’ as an abbreviation for microfiber, and ‘soft’ because it’s a very soft fabric. That company has every right to use the company name Microsoft, and they would own the trademark for that company name as it applies to the products they sell. Because of that, Microsoft couldn’t do anything to get their .net domain name back except offering to buy it outright.
