Bogie and Nimfa Zabala put up “R. P. Zabala Catering Services” to address the professional food catering needs of Lucena city and nearby towns in Quezon province. R.P. Zabala Catering can accommodate all events from weddings, parties, business meetings, conventions, to private family gatherings.

Wow, a new post on MagNEGOSYO.com after months of quiet huh? See, our company TRAPIK MEDIA just moved offices - thus, a lot of reorganization an re-prioritization of work. So we moved to a new office and we had to bite MyDSL BIZ option because Globelines has no more lines (pun intended) on our new building and Eastern’s (ETPI) salespeople don’t want to do a sale. So we bit the bullet and signed with PLDT’s MyDSL.

This MyDSL subscription uses automatic IP assignment, NO usernames and passwords, NO logging in and out. GREAT right? So far yes. With this set-up, enabling a broadband router (any broadband router) is as simple as selecting “AUTOMATIC IP ADDRESS” and ENABLING “DHCP” on the router settings. Well, it’s not that easy with PLDT’s MYDSL BIZ on NGN.

What is a domain name and how does it affect your business? Simply put, a domain name is an address on the Internet or World Wide Web that surfers use to access your web site. Excellent examples of domain names are Yahoo.com, Google.com, Pilipiinas.PH and yes, MagNegosyo.com, too! Anyway, here is a definition of domain names from Wikipedia.

The term domain name has multiple related meanings:

• A name that identifies a computer or computers on the internet. These names appear as a component of a Web site’s URL, e.g. wikipedia.org. This type of domain name is also called a hostname.
• The product that domain name registrars provide to their customers. These names are often called registered domain names.
• Names used for other purposes in the Domain Name System (DNS), for example the special name which follows the @ sign in an email address, or the Top-level domains like .com, or the names used by the Session Initiation Protocol (VoIP), or DomainKeys.

They are sometimes colloquially (and incorrectly) referred to by marketers as “web addresses”.

Ok, so now you know what a domain name is. And you want ONE! Whether for yourself, your hobby or your business - how and where can you get your own domain name? And for business minded people - how do you choose a domain name for your business. And for opportunistic investors - what’s all these talk about domain names selling for millions?
