2. Reasons for Registering a Domain
 In today's business world a company without a website is not taken seriously.  A domain, just like your name or logo, is used to uniquely identify yourself or your business. A company with a name like 2344545 Inc. would not be taken seriously either, since it is hard to memorize and use as a brand name. Register a meaningful, easy to remember domain name and people will have no trouble finding you. A good domain name will also improve the company's credibility and goodwill. 
Another reason for registering a domain name is that  your domain e-mail address will never change, even if you change your internet service provider (ISP). 
And finally, many people register domain names in the expectation of selling them at a much higher price (loans.com has recently been sold for $3,000,000) in a short period of time. Domain names are scarce, the world's population is growing and Internet becomes a part of the regular daily life - you do the math... A good domain name is your first step to becoming an "Internet Millionaire" and DomainFellow.com is always ready to help you in this quest.

3. How to Get a Good Domain Name (tips and tricks)
Registering a  meaningful  domain name has become extremely problematic. Virtually every word in the most sophisticated dictionary is registered. Even the combinations of simple words are scarce. When choosing a domain name, you have to think about your business. The are several different strategies: incorporate your company's name or its abbreviation into the domain name, use some industry-specific word or a phrase or use a short and/or easy to memorize name. DomainFellow will assist you in pursuing any of these strategies. There are several resources that will help you in registering a great domain name: 
       Categorized Domain Generator - a tool that is located on our main page. It allows you to key
       in a keyword (a word that you would like to be present in your domain name no matter 
       what), and select a category of the most common prefixes or suffixes used by companies 
       operating in a specific business area. 
       Multiple Query Tool - isn't it really annoying when you have to check for availability every 
       your creative domain name ideas one-by-one,  keep clicking the Back button and making 
       changes to your query?! Multiple Query makes it easy and comfortable. You can enter
       up to 30 names (its probably more than you'll ever need ) and query them all at once! 
       Custom Query Tool - in the case that our categorized domain generator doesn't satisfy your
       sophisticated needs, or if you just want a faster search  with less domain names being queried,
       custom query is for you! This tool allows you to enter up to 10 of your own prefixes or 
       suffixes, combine them with your keyword and check the resulting names for availability.

domain name no matter what - this is your keyword. Enter this keyword into the keyword field on our main page in the orange box. Select the extension for your domain name. from a drop-down
box next to the keyword field. The most common extension is ".com", which shows that you are a 
commercial company. If you are a non-for profit, government, or community supported organization,  the extension ".org" is the most appropriate. If your company is related to networks and the Internet, use the extension ".net".  Now think about the main focus of  your business. Click
on the category drop-down menu to see what categories of prefixes and suffixes are available and
choose the one that best describes your main business function. Select whether you want to use 
prefixes or suffixes by clicking the appropriate radio button. Prefixes are the small words that go 
front of and suffixes are the words that go after your keyword when generating a domain 
name (e.g. Prefix = house, Keyword = deal, Extension = .com, produces the domain name
hotdeal.com, while if  the Suffixes are used, the domain name would be dealhouse.com). Click
