More and more people are now opting to purchase personalised registration plates for their vehicles. It offers one the chance to make sure that one’s vehicle is unique. So what should one do when it comes to how to choose the right personalised registration plate?

In this article we offer some advice that you may find extremely useful when it comes to you purchasing a personalised registration plate. As you will soon discover when you start searching online there are various companies within the UK where you can purchase such plates from.

Although you can purchase personalised registration plates throughout the year in the UK you need to be aware that the release of new ones takes place twice each year. The new registration numbers are now released on the 1st March and September each year. So waiting until these times will ensure that you have more chance of getting the number you want.

As well as personalised registration plates offering you the chance to create a unique look to your vehicle they are a sound investment as well. In fact if you take time over making your purchase you could find that should you choose to sell it at a later date at far more than you originally purchased it for? As with anything you are selling you need to look closely at the way the market is going before you decide to sell it.

As mentioned when it comes to looking for the perfect personalised registration plate you should search online. However, don’t just go with the first one you find but actually take a look at several different ones. Also use those that have a well established track record for selling such items as this will ensure that you are getting what you pay for.

Along with the above there are several other things that one can do to ensure that you get value for money. Also these will help you with how to choose the right personalised registration plate.

Tip 1 – In the UK the first place to go to for getting such registration plates is the DVLA website. It is this Government body in the UK which in 1989 took charge of the issuing of such plates and to date has now raised more than £1.2bn on the sales of such plates. This is a website that holds around 25 million registration plates which you can select from and buy.

The procedures to search for your ideal plates are very simple to follow and are exactly the same as if you were purchasing a new registration plate. Once you have chosen the plate you want then you just follow the instructions provided on how to purchase it and what you need to do once the sale has been completed.

Tip 2 – It is important that you do your research thoroughly before you make your purchase. Although the DVLA site is useful you may find that by looking elsewhere you can purchase the same registration plate from another site at slightly less.

Tip 3 – When you are trying to select your personalised registration plate you need to be aware of certain things. Those plates which have the more common types of words on them are going to cost considerably more. So if you can don’t limit yourself to one particular type of plate but choose several.

Tip 4 – When you do find the personalised registration plate you want you need to check the company’s legitimacy that is selling it. So look for those which are members of certain agencies such as a Member of The Institute of Registration Agents & Dealers (MIRAD) or the Cherished Number Dealers Association (CNDA) or the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF) or the Registration Numbers Club (RNC).

Tip 5 – You should look carefully at how long the company who are selling the personalised registration plates have been trading for. Certainly those that have been trading in this business for several years are likely to be more trustworthy.

Tip 6 – Finally before you actually part with any of your money make sure that the plate’s certification is genuine. So before you make your purchase check with the DVLA to confirm whether there is a retention certificate for the registration plate or not. Certainly any reputable personalised registration plate dealer will be more than happy to provide prove by faxing or sending a scanned version of the document to you to confirm that the plate is a legitimate one.

We hope that the above information is useful and will be helpful when it comes to how to choose the right personalised registration plate for you vehicle.

Hosting VS Domain Registration

Many people have the misconception that domain registration and hosting are the same thing. This is completely untrue, and could prove rather costly error to your business..

Domain Registration

When you go to register a domain you are registering the rights to use that specific domain name. To keep things organized it is not actually just the domain that gets registered. ICANN associates a number with the domain name, thus keeping your data in an organized record.

There are some sketchy businesses who claim to be registrars and just in fact rip people off. If I am going to register a domain I make sure I the site is on the ICANN Accredited Registrars list.

What you do with your domain beyond registration is up to you. You can

forward it to another site
place a parking page on it
host a site on it
throw up some revenue scheme…

Hosting
Your host is the actual site which holds your site. Once you register a domain you can forward it to a host and then list the site with your host. There are many different types of hosting with many different features.

Typically open source derived software is cheaper than proprietary software. For this reason I like Linux hosting more than Windows hosting. Most things available with one are hosting type are somehow available with the other, but you should think of what type of interactive elements you may want to add before you pick a host.

A few important things with hosting are

reliability – for most hosts you would expect uptime of over 99.9%. in addition it is important to know that your host has a functional business model and that it is not just going to go away some day

customer support – technical know how and rapid customer support are a must if you are planning on making a living off the internet

type – Linux and Windows hosting support entirely different features and languages
Why Your Host is a bad Registrar
Lets assume the unthinkable happens…lets say your host goes away…now what? You want to be in control of your own domain. Typically hosts charge a premium amount to register your domain, and it is not always a treat switching it over to another registrar or host if you do not like the one you are using.

Why Your Registrar is a bad Host

I have used high quality hosting and some that was of exceptionally low quality. I had technical questions for GoDaddy when my site went down. After being blown off or passed along for three days I got a new host and have used them ever since.

In addition to poor customer service you may find that your registrar does not have the technical know how to handle your request because they are too large to train all of their personnel. Recently GoDaddy has also had errors which have prevented some of their websites from being spidered by Google. Glad I dropped them as a host a long time ago!

Imagine how hard some people are trying, but can`t get traffic because they are having problems with bad hosting. Eventually new people may keep trying harder and harder until their site is viewed as spam by the search engines.

If a registrar provides bad hosting they can still likely exist. Some people will still buy hosting with their registration (just like getting milk while at the grocerie store.) If a host provides bad hosting eventually they will go out of business.

Who Do I use

Registrars: as long as its ICANN Accredited and reasonably priced that is all I care. In the past I have used GoDaddy and Network Solutions. Network Solutions is rather expensive, but it seems between most the other registrars that at least one of them have a sale going on about all the time.

Hosting: The host I would choose would depend heavily upon my goals with the sites. I use both Dreamhost and 3.75 hosting.

Dreamhost – world class customer service and tons of technical know how. (to save $25 on your hosting enter `jabber-mikebrown` in the promotional code section)

3.75 hosting – exceptionally simple and usable interface. The biggest thing I like about them is that they charge by the bandwidth and disk space (and not per domain). If you had a bunch of small sites they would be perfect!

If you want you can look up the registrar, registration information, and host of any website using the Whois Source. The whole point of this article is that hosting and registration are both necessary, but it is frequently bad if they both come from the same place.

7. Waiting to Reserve Domain Name till Finish This Article
I don`t know how but it seems that a good domain name do not come in to the mind of a single person. May be up to hundreds of people are thinking about that domain name. And the one who reserves it first is the winner. So if you have a good domain name in mind, don`t even wait finishing this article. Go and reserve that domain name first. You do not have to use that domain name at all if you later found it to be not so fit. But you have it, you can sell it or use it for something else or at least you won`t be sorry because domain names are very cheap these days. Remember domain names are cheap but only until they are not reserved.

6. Register Someone Trademark as a Web Domain Name
Do an exhaustive research that your domain name is not someone else trademark. Laws are changing rapidly everywhere and even ordinary surfers feel bad about a website when its web domain name is looking like a cyber squatted web domain name. Also there is a chance of getting legal notice for doing this. They may not ask damages but they can easily take back domain name! So please either do not use anything that looks like some trademarks in your domain name or do a research. Again if a trademark infringement war starts you would be in better position if you have reserved it first so get it now!

5. Spelling Your Web Domain Name Is Difficult
Can anyone easily spell your domain name At least your possible customers should be able to spell it right the first time. Try this: Talk to someone on phone and ask to spell your domain name. If he needs to confirm the spelling by re asking then probably it is not an easily spelled domain name. Make your domain name easy to spell because that avoids typing mistakes and also you would not have to tell every one twice about your domain name spellings.

4. Domain Name Having No Connection to Business Name
Try as much as possible that your domain name is your business name and vice versa. If it is not possible then you have to publicize two names, which is not only difficult for you to market but difficult for the customers also because he has to remember two things instead of one.

3. Not Protecting Domain Hijacking
Double check your name and contact is listed in Whois as owner and technical contact of the domain name. Your hard developed domain can be hijacked by your ISP or the person doing registration for you. Not all are bad. Some may be lazy only. They have already typed their details that can be auto filled in to registration forms. But this is their problem. You should insist your name and contact email on Contact Information. Mostly used fields are: Registrant Contact Information, Administrative Contact Information, Technical Contact Information, Billing Contact Information.

2. Anything Other Than Dot Com for Business Web Domain Name Registration
If you are registering a domain name for business purposes then make sure you get it in dot com like “YouDomainName.com”. There are many reasons for this like it is the default extension in user minds and in most browsers. If you get say “YouDomainName.Net” then you would be one-way sharing your traffic with “YouDomainName.com” which is not a good idea.

1. Domains of More Than 7 Letters
Though Domain names can have up to 67 Letters length, very few people would be eager to type your domain name for just seeing your offers. Also typing errors grow exponentially with lengthy names. So whenever possible use least possible domain name length.

It’s not just about the domain name. What about all the gubbins that you would expect to come with your domain name? In fact, you might not even know what you might need with your domain name – so how does that work?

You need to find a domain name provider that will supply all the features you need – and more, ready for when you eventually work out what to do with your domain. Let’s explore what features you may require with your domain name. Make sure the domain is registered in YOUR name

1) As a minimum you want to reserve the domain name for immediate use or for use in the future should you find the time. Well, all domain registrars meet this requirement – or do they? Well, no they don’t. Many domain name providers will register YOUR domain name in THEIR name. How does that work? Well, they just do and so when it comes to having control over your domain name you simply find it is limited – simply because it isn’t really YOUR domain name. Only choose a domain name host that registers the YOUR domain name in YOUR name.
Ensure you have the freedom to choose any web host

2) Once you have your domain name you do not want to be tied to a single host as this could negate any saving you make on your domain name. Besides, you should have the choice right? Well, many domain name providers will NOT allow you to change your domain name servers to point to another host. This would tie you in to using that particular domain provider should you need a Web Hosting account in the future. You need to keep your options open. Only choose a domain provider that allows you FREE and UNLIMITED changes of your domain nameservers. This guarantees that your domain name can be used with any web host without restriction or cost. Can your domain name point to your free web space?

3) Do you have free webspace provided by your ISP? You probably do, so why buy a hosting package if you already have webspace? Check with your ISP/Broadband Supplier and find out how to upload your new website to your free webspace. So now all you need to do is point your domain name to your free webspace. This usually uses a feature called “web forwarding”. Ensure that web forwarding is supplied as standard with your domain name, you’d be surprised how many domain name hosts charge extra for this feature. Is your domain name email enabled?

4) While you are pondering the use of your domain name, wouldn’t it be useful to redirect any email sent to your domain name to your everyday email address? This is called email forwarding and again, is often an extra charge on your domain name after you have purchased. Read the small print before your select your domain name host.

So, where do you start? Find a cheap domain name host that meets the above criteria and you can’t go far wrong with your domain purchase. Should you have difficulty, let me save you some time. Here is a UK based domain name provider that meets all of the above criteria and more… UK Cheapest Domain Names. Once you have your domain name, you can relax. Or can you? Beware not to catch the domainer bug – you can end up with hundreds of domais, especially when you start monetizing them in their parked state. Now that’s another story….
