Do you lose pre-paid domain money when you change hosts?

November 29th, 2009

I got this email inquiry from a potential customer yesterday:

Comments: I recently started a website with (deleted name of host) which is a do-it-yourself web hosting site.  After a week or so, I think I’m about ready to throw in the towel!  The problem is that I’ve paid for my domain for the next 4 years!!  Can you all build my site through the existing host so I don’t lose my money?  I want a great website at an affordable cost (I’m sure you’ve never heard that before!)

I work in the area and could stop by your office at some point.  My website is (deleted)

Thanks,

(name deleted)

See my reply after the jump.

SEO Tips – Register your domain name for 3+ years

November 3rd, 2008

A prospective customer came in to see me today, and right away I found several things in their website that were holding them back from better search engine results and sales. One of the first things that I do when I evaluate a website is to look at the domain name registration of the domain name. The most glaring thing I found right away was that their domain name was about to expire in TWO MONTHS. This is most likely having a negative affect on their Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

10 uses for old domains to increase SEO Value

July 7th, 2008

If you are like me, you might own more than one domain name that you can use for your websites. What you may not have known, is that Google rewards the older names that you aren’t using for your website. Over the past year, we have noticed that Google is rewarding domain names that are older with a higher Google Pagerank. This is important, because the Google Pagerank variable can be thought of as a multiplier that use used against the keywords in your website for relevance to the terms in your site.

What does all that mean? It means that your older domains could possibly come up higher in Google, and that you should consider working some of your older domain names into your marketing plan.

How much is your domain name worth? Here are some sites that will tell you.

February 11th, 2007

A friend of mine sent me a link to a web site that said that one of my domain names was worth a lot of money. It was quite entertaining. You can enter your domain name and it will tell you the general value based on its length, and whether it is a TLD (.com, .net, .org). It also checks Archive.org to see how long the domain name has been in use, since this can also have an affect on how search engines will rank the domain name.
