A couple of Newbie Q's

[DomainDomain]

Hello all,
I have read through many forum post, all have been really helpful. I still have a few questions:
Is it worth regging .co.uk names?
What does it mean to develope a site? (forum?? etc)
Are the reg fees just what you pay to reg the name (like 1.99gbp with 1&1)?

Im sure there will be more, many thanks for any help
Jay

Is it worth regging .co.uk names? yes if you live in United Kingdom
What does it mean to develope a site? (forum?? etc)
develop to make it full of activity, lots of incoming/outgoing links, membership increased, etc.
Are the reg fees just what you pay to reg the name (like 1.99gbp with 1&1)?
yes per year.

In my Opinion, all Domains(any TLD) are good if developed in a proper way. -> As weblord said

and just in case you don't know, TLD means top-level domain. If you want a list, google it.

that's not what i've said, .co.uk is a country tld not a tld :imho:

 

[aznchong91]

^^ exactly, just like .us and .pk.

BTW, if you read other posts on this forum, you will hear that many people have had awful experiences with 1and1. I would suggest you find a different registrat to reg domains with such as godaddy.

 

[aznchong91]

another good registrar is Namecheap.

Cheers for the info.
How do mean registrar? is that not the site you but the domain from i.e 1&1? If not, whos good?
also, on the developing side, what sort of things do you recommend? Forums/sales sites etc?
Thanks

 

[aznchong91]

yes, it's the place where you buy the domain from. 1&1 is not very good, go with Godaddy or Namecheap.

For developing, Forums are probably the easiest, you can also set up turnkey websites, adsense websites, and if you have to, a truly content rich site.
