    How Can I Get Name Recognition?
    Some of the ways in which to get your "name out there" are to call your local television and radio stations, and ascertain whether there is a medium you can get your name in. A very good source are public stations that hold auctions, at which you can donate your services. Talk shows, both radio and television. Do something to get yourself noticed and send it to them. For example, we sen
    have no bearing on where it is hosted), then most domain transfers never need to occur.

    In fact, unless you are transferring your domain from an expensive registrar like Network Solutions to a less expensive one like GoDaddy, there is RARELY A NEED TO EVER TRANSFER YOUR DOMAIN.

    When you transfer your domain to another registrar, you are changing NOTHING about your domain or it’s DNS record. The only change you are making is that your annual renewal fee will likely be different. But once your domain is registered, (n

    Quality Improvement is Free
    The point of a quality improvement program should not only be to improve a product or the delivery of healthcare but it should also be to save time and money by reducing or eliminating waste or errors. For example, a doctor or nurse practitioner writes a prescription. We wouldn’t deliver some of the best quality pills along with a few randomly chosen pills and we wouldn’t completely i
    At the risk of making some web hosting companies angry, I am about to expose a misuse of terminology that has caused too much confusion over something that should be simple. So, you may ask, why would this upset hosting companies? Because, for the most part THEY are the culprits in making this issue confusing!

    During the web hosting sign-up process, often the web host provider will ask its customer if he or she want to “transfer their domain”. What they MEAN is, “will you be using a domain for this hosting account that is already registered?” (which is an important question to have answered.)

    The problem with the phrasing of their question is this: If you go to your favorite registrar’s site and you click on any of their links or instructions that say “transfer a domain”…you will most likely be given the opportunity to MOVE YOUR REGISTRATION from another registrar to them. But that has nothing to do with hosting a domain.

    So when a host talks about TRANSFERS and a registrar talks about TRANSFERS – they are usually not the same thing. That’s a huge problem. The solution? Let’s define …

    TRANSFERRING A DOMAIN

    Transferring a domain (as you will learn at any REGISTRATION site), means to move your domain to a different registrar. I would venture to say that about 60% to 80% of domains that are transferred are done so unnecessarily, due to the confusion of what a domain transfer accomplishes.

    At Teknon Media and Teknon Domains, we see hundreds of unnecessary transfers every month from one registrar to another because users are under the impression that since they are changing hosts, they have to TRANSFER. But they don’t. All they need to do is POINT their domain to their new host. This is accomplished by updating the DNS record (sometimes called changing the name servers).

    The sad part is that some of these transfers are moving to more expensive registrars, which not only incurs extra annual cost, but delays the transition from one host to another. (Ignorance is expensive.) Since transferring a domain means MOVING it to another place to be registered, (which should have no bearing on where it is hosted), then most domain transfers never need to occur.

    In fact, unless you are transferring your domain from an expensive registrar like Network Solutions to a less expensive one like GoDaddy, there is RARELY A NEED TO EVER TRANSFER YOUR DOMAIN.

    Outsourcing Soars as Businesses Cut Costs
    Today's businesses are looking for ways to cut their costs without hurting their business. One way, that has grown phenomenally, is to outsource much of the work.Outsourcing is nothing new. Families outsource dinner when they order pizza. Car manufacturers outsource when they purchase parts premade rather than making them at their own facilities. What is new is outsourcing of cus

    Proposals - Three Easy Steps to Mix the Old With the New
    I have read many technical documents that are collages of past documentation. The most offensive violation of this is when the technical document is a proposal. Why? Proposals are used heavily for companies to remain in business. If the proposal looks like an agglomeration of past proposals, it could cost them the contract. I have seen proposals where writers even forgot to omit the las

    Relationship Building for Long-term Repeat Business

    Career Change: A Glittering Invitation To The Emotional Stalkers
    As much as you are yearning for career-change, and as much as the trends actually favor it, just contemplating a shift is a glittering invitation to four emotional stalkers who love nothing better than to play a nasty game of team-tag at your personal expense. When you unmask these bandits -- even a little -- they begin to lose their emotional charge – leaving you free to more fully ex

    In fact, unless you are transferring your domain from an expensive registrar like Network Solutions to a less expensive one like GoDaddy, there is RARELY A NEED TO EVER TRANSFER YOUR DOMAIN.

    When you transfer your domain to another registrar, you are changing NOTHING about your domain or it’s DNS record. The only change you are making is that your annual renewal fee will likely be different. But once your domain is registered, (no matter WHERE it is registered) - you can manage its DNS record no matter WHERE you HOST that domain.

    The bottom line on the issue of domain transfers is this:

    Where you HOST your domain should have no BEARING on where you REGISTER your domain….and vice-versa. In fact, if the host you are doing business with REQUIRES you to register your domain at a specific registrar, then change hosts quickly. That is a bad sign.
