I have my own website, yet is currently viewed via a company that offer free webspace. This is all fine and dandy, however their is an obvious hicth, the web adress has to contain their initials or prefixes.

The .com industry has been performing very under par, which is a contrast from the explosive start most companies had in 1999. The likes of Freeserve were trading at 127p what a bargain, after reaching £9. It just shows the fall of the technology sector has taken, as a result most of the other shares in the FTSE 100 have suffered along ...

This has got to be good news for everyone because you can access the worldwide web in just a couple of minutes and find out more than you could ever want to know.

It strikes me that rather than experiencing a crisis, the recent slumps and closures in the world of the dot coms is a sign of a rationalisation and return of sense to this baby industry. There can be no doubt that the stocks of internet companies were overpriced by a mile. There is also no doubt that there were far too many investors ...

The future of any individual dot com firm is ultimately the same as any other firm – if it is viable and will make a profit in the medium term it will survive, if not it will die. Too much analysis of the dot com sector has centred around the fact that these are new and emerging businesses at the cutting edge of technology. The ...

The Internet has revolutionized the way we live, anything that can be done on the net has been, or attempted. The fact that the Internet is so easily accessible to everyone can also create problems. Almost anyone can start up a web business and for a minimal outlay of finance and give the impression of competence and security. Even ...

Dot coms are far from dead. The problem with the dot com explosion and implosion is that it was so revolutionary. It was unlike anything that we had ever seen before. Everyone saw the huge potential and wanted a piece of it - any piece of it. Even those who are traditionally conservative with money needed, yes needed, to get a piece of the dot ...

Thestreet.co.uk apart they were dot com but why? What are the reasons for them, apart from the obvious overspending? Boo.com goodbye (first time) but why? Boxman, now we know why your face was covered? The street.co.uk meets targets but ceases. What lessons can we learn from these? The other and real reasons why these e-tailers went ...

The gold rush for the new millenium - that's what the Dot.com rush is all about. Just like there were thousands of prospectors charging around the United states looking for gold in the 1800's, so we have thousands of people charging around Cyber space looking for their millions. Most of the gold prospectors were considerably ...

Well, the dot com revolution seems to have come and gone. In the process a number of investors new to the market have lost a packet and will probably stay away from the market for a good length of time. Meanwhile the institutions have mangaged to make a shedload of money by getting in early and bailing out and soon as they have seen their ...

The rise and fall of the so-called dot com companies brings to mind old adages of “What goes up must come down” and “The Bigger they are the Heavier they Fall”. In general, the valuations of the dot com and high-tech companies was been based upon business models compiled by the companies and snippets of ...

I have to admit that I am always looking for a money making scheme to earn me an extra pound here and there, and some of this involves investing money into the future of things. I have looked on certain occasions at investing rather large amounts of money and time into various projects, and the dot com industry happened to be one of them. ...

The whole dot com hysteria will eventually prove costly as money will have to be reinvested in Blue chip solid bread-and-butter shares as the current market downturn driven by technology stocks failures in the states will bite our markets hard this winter. Too many venture capitalist have thrown money at the new information super-highway and ...

Rewind to about 18 months ago and you would have heard people saying the internet is the future of business. Fast forward to the present day and things couldn't be more further from the truth.

Internet or .com companies are here to stay, although a large portion of the current internet companies will not be with us for much longer. A huge deluge of internet companies started springing up a little over a year ago, all trying to cash in on the potential of the internet. There are many different kinds of internet business; indeed ...

I like the internet, and as far as I know, the internet likes me - turning on my computer with the hearty 'welcome Tom' from excite really perks me up in the mornings! But with all these dot con scandals going around, will the internet soon be yelling at us 'get off my lawn'? The first to go was boo.com, the shopping website. That just ...

Mail-order has been around for a while. You might order off a mail order catalogue - if you knew it was a good name and the delivery charges weren't too high. You wouldn't order clothing without trying it on first, would you? I know I'd never buy clothing through a mail order catalogue because it is impossible to know how it is going to ...

The .com market is ever expanding as more and more companies learn that this is where many of their customer's want and like to shop.
