Hi I am sorry if this is a repeat question, I have to catch a bus and have no time to read. I have two today.

1) For a informational site, if you had a choice between .com .org and .info for your domain name, which one would you pick? (I ask cause I seen alot of .com information/chat/fourm sites)

2) If your domain name was sharing an IP with another domain name what do you do to fix it?

God Bless

If your site is non-profit, I would get the .org. If you expect a profit, get the .com/.info. If you can't decide between the two, pick which looks/sounds better.

I believe you can't. Unless you change hosts, that is.

You say that like if that is a problem. A shared IP works just as good as a dedicted IP. The only difference is that the user can not type the IP address to visit your website (which he shouldn't need to if you have a domain named) and also you need a dedicated IP in order to have your own SSL cert.

I guess it was just some BS used to bash the competiton then. My friend was told that if a domain was shared that it was impossible to get into the search engines, and that the guy he was going with currently had it shared. I was confused cause I had never heard of such a thing before. Now I know why.

What a dirty trick to pull on someone who is web ignorant, and ever dirtier to pull on your competition =(
