Online Business: My First Year
By Marc Guidry
My first year as a Cyberpreneur was a steep learning-curve. I was an academic before starting an online business, so I had a lot to learn. But even if you were in offline-business before going online, you may still have to learn some new skills -online business is a whole new ball-game. Here are some of the things I learnt in my first year in Cyber Space:

(1) Be careful who you register your domain with. Some domain name registrars make it very difficult to change your web host.

I registered my first two domains with a registrar that caused me more headaches than I care to think about.

When I needed to transfer one of my domain names to a new web host, my original email address had changed. I was no longer able to send them an email from that address and so I couldn't authenticate my request for domain transfer.

So I tried to update my personal record with my new email address. I got a message saying that I could only change my email address by sending an email from my original email address (which no longer existed).

This bureaucratic nightmare went on for 4 weeks. To add to my frustration, I was communicating with a machine, not a human being. By the end of that time I had no less than 35 computer-generated emails telling me that my domain could not be transferred.

Finally, I sent my request for domain transfer in a 5-page fax, including photocopy of my passport. They then sent me an email saying my request for domain transfer could not be processed because my request was not on company letterhead.

So I designed a letterhead and re-submitted the 5-page fax. Finally, 6 weeks after my first request, my domain was transferred. To avoid this kind of experience I recommend you use register.com. Using their online Domain Manager, it took me less than two minutes to transfer my domain!

(2) A slow-loading index page is still one of the main reasons that online businesses lose customers.

Surveys show that the average surfer will wait no more than 8 seconds for a web page to load before moving onto another website. So 'load-time' is a vital consideration when you choose a web host.

(3) Once you've designed your home page and uploaded it to your server space, check to see what it looks like to other people. What you're seeing may not be what other people are seeing.

I once designed a home page I was very proud of - I had added a piece of javascript
