More and more people are buying all five to protect their name from others taking advantage of their hard work. Anyone can register a domain name in any of the five extensions if they are available.

sellers communicate. This is also the way individuals will communicate. You should have domain names for both you and your business. More and more people are registering domain names for their family while there are still choices. If you are creative and look hard enough you will find a good name. Names are being registered at an incredible rate of over 400,000 per week, but the real rush is yet to
come. Some projections are a 93% increase over the next three years. Registering all the names within your budget that you think you might want in the future is not a bad idea. The cost is a lot lower than trying to buy then from someone else in the future. Besides, if you decide later that you don't want them just don't renew them and they will go back in the pool. Some names go for big money, example:
business.com/$7,500,000, AsSeenOnTV.com/$835,000 very few names sell at this high rate but their is a big market in reselling domain names.

BILLING- CVV2
CVV2 is a security measure we require for all transactions. Since a
CVV2 number is listed on your credit card, but is not stored anywhere,
the only way to know the correct CVV2 number for your credit card is
to physically have possession of the card itself. All VISA, MasterCard
and American Express cards made in America in the past 5 years or so
have a CVV2 number, while those in Europe and Asia will be joining the
CVV2 program shortly.
What is
CVV2?
CVV2 is a new
authentication scheme established by credit card companies to
further efforts towards reducing fraud for internet transactions.
It consists of requiring a card holder to enter the CVV2 number in
at transaction time to verify that the card is on hand. If your
card does not have a CVV2 number please enter 000 in the CVV2
field.
| Visa & MasterCard: |
 |
This number is
printed on your MasterCard & Visa cards in the signature area
of the back of the card. (it is the last 3 digits AFTER the
credit card number in the signature area of the card).
|
| |
| American Express: |
 |
American Express
cards show the cvv2 printed above and to the right of the
imprinted card number on the front of the card. |
|
If you have any other
questions about your CVV2 number, please contact your bank or credit
card issuer. |
