Choosing the Proper Domain Name

Choosing the proper domain name for your website can seem like an easy task, however, unless you really know what your domain name extension is saying, how do you know that you are choosing the right one? Red Lace Design is currently ranked #1 by Google for our 'Domain Name Extension Definitions Fact Sheet' which you can download here.This fact sheet can help you determine which domain name extension is right for you. For instance, .com represents the word "commercial" and is the most widely used extension in the world. Most businesses prefer a .com domain name because it is a highly recognized symbol for having a business presence on the web but what if .com is taken, then what? .Net represents the work "network", .org represents the word "organization", it is important to know what your extension is saying before selecting one just because the .com you wanted is taken. Did you know there is an extension specifically for websites designed for mobile phones? It is the .mobi extension.

Your domain extension should correspond to your websites content just as much as the domain name itself so let us help you determine which domain extension is right for you. Please download the free PDF of the Domain Name Extension Definitions Fact Sheet and learn about all the domain extensions available today and then choose the one that is right for you.

Paperless Billing

Red Lace Design is an environmentally friendly business and will begin using Paperless Billing to invoice its clients starting June 1st, 2009. Paperless billing is a service that allows Red Lace Design clients to receive their billing information online rather than in a printed, paper format. Paperless billing subscribers will no longer receive a paper bill in the mail and will instead receive an e-mail notification each month directing them to view and pay their bill online at the Client Login homepage of the Red Lace Design website. If you are a Red Lace Design client and wish to not receive paperless billing you can opt-in to traditional billing (printed, paper format) by visiting the following link and selecting 'Opt-in to Traditional Billing'. http://www.redlacedesign.com/paperlessbilling.html
