SECURE & PROTECT YOUR ONLINE BRAND

What would life be like if you were called by the wrong name… all the time?  Yes, everyone experiences this at some time.  Mistakes happen, but not all the time!  Your name belongs to you and it represents your character.

What about your business?  Is your online name protected?  Is your online business “real estate” protected for you?  How do you present a professional online image with an internet service provider’s name (i.e.: yourname@mchsi.com, hotmail.com, aol.com, iowatelecom.net, gmail.com or yahoo.com…), what does this say about your brand image?

Securing the “URL” and setting up an email that secures your family heritage or business positions is relatively simple and if you need help, contact Strat Exe.

Take these steps:

1.  Select a “URL registration” site like www.godaddy.com, www.register.com or other online registration services.

2.  Set up an account and then search for the URL you want to secure.  If the URL name is taken already, you may have to try different combination of words and special characters (“-“ or “_”).  .COM is most common for companies with .BIZ growing in popularity.  .ORG is generally for organizations and .NET for technical support businesses.

We suggest setting up an account first to help secure the URL quickly when you find what you want.  Generally, the URL will cost from $5 -$12 per year to register (you only rent it).

3.  Once the URL is secure, there are many options to evaluate, but the key is to make sure you secure the URL to protect your name and business.  The other options can be evaluated at a later time.

Besides the business name (www.stratexe.com), I also registered www.martystratton.com; www.martinjstratton.com and www.strattonconnect.com to make sure my name is protected.  Other URL’s were secured based on possible business needs… example:  www.the-e-revolution, www.p2p.com, and www.thepowerofalignment.com.  These are reserved to support new business ventures and protect potential online business “real estate.”

4.  When the URL is secured, search for a mail server for your URL name.  These typically cost $12 – $50 per year depending on how many emails you want (name@yoururl.xxx).  Several online companies, such as Godaddy.com or 1and1.com, provides these services without a website.  You can always build your website with the URL and combine both in the future.

This is not a difficult process and you do not have to be a tech-head to register and secure a URL.  Stratexe provides this cost effective service for you… contact us and discover how affordable it is to have your Branded business name for your email.
