We have these two domain names for sale:

Musicnetworking.net

Popnetworking.com

These could be used for a brilliant website to share and swap music.
If you’re interested in purchasing one or both of them, just click on the hyperlink and submit your offer on the bidding form..

What happens next?

If we accept your offer, you can send us a payment with Paypal. Then we’ll set up a new account with the registrar on your behalf and send you the username & password (which you can change).  We then push the domain name to your new account. At this point you’ll become the legal owner of the domain and be able to change the password, amend the contact & admin details, configure the DNS settings or redirect the domain to another url.

Is it safe?

We are a fully registered limited company in the UK - purchasing a domain from us is guaranteed. Also, the current registrar is an ICANN accredited registrar but you can transfer the domain to another registrar if you so wish.

So if you want to set up a pop or music network why don’t you grab the domain before someone else gets it????

Domain buying Tips

• Buy a domain with your most important keyword in it
• Or one that is unique but short 
• The shorter the name the better
• Do not stuff the domain with keywords
• Try to avoid dashes between words

Here are a few animated gifs - use them on your site or in your emails. Just right-click on the one you want and save it locally! These gif animations are small in size  - but add a bit of fun to web pages and emails. 
Gif animations are better than Flash animations because they do not require plug-ins to run on a website..

If you have a logo or an image, it can be easily animated. If you don’t know how to do this, contact us, and we can do it for you for a small fee.  We can also design a brand new customised logo for your company - static and/or animated!

We’ll publish a few examples of the logos we’ve designed very soon in our blog and put a link to them on this page!

There are hundreds of web hosting companies out there offering the best hosting service your money can buy. The choice is endless. The techno jargon is daunting.
So which one to choose?..

It really depends on your needs.

Do you want to target a word audience or a specific country - i.e. you’re selling things for the UK market, your site should be hosted by a company based in the UK. If your site has an international theme, then the server hosting your site should be located in the States.

The second issue you should consider is the size of your site. Do you have many dynamic pages or does your site mainly consist of straight html pages? Do you want to run a forum or a blog?  If you have a large site with thousands of pages you should consider signing up for a dedicated server.

The third issue is traffic. How many visitors do you have per months? How many are you aiming for? Again, if you have thousands of visitors per day, you should consider a dedicated server.

Some companies offer the hosting of more than one domain under one account. If you have many sites - this might be a good solution for you, but be careful, your monthly allowance of bandwidth & disk space has to be shared between your sites.

When you’ve considered these issues go to this site and read the reviews of web-hosts.

We, at Edian Design, have dealt with many web hosting companies. We didn’t like Hostway because they were inefficient and expensive. On the other end of the scale Hostony offers a good value hosting plan - but their customer service is absolutely dreadful (read our story). Stay away from them - or move away! Hostgator also offers good value hosting plans, so far we have been pleased with their hosting & customer service.
Lunarpages offer an excellent, reliable service - but it doesn’t come cheap.

If you’re looking for a budget hosting company in the UK, we highly recommend 34SP, we have been pleased with them. Another good UK company is 3dpixelnet.

Be careful with web sites offering charts of  the ” best web hosting companies” or “top hosts“,  “best web hosting reviews“  etc  - most of these sites are affiliating sites, i.e. they do not present an independent view (nor reviews) of web hosts. However, this site seems to offer an independent review of hosting companies  - so far the reviews correspond with our experiences of various web hosting companies.

Anyway, good luck in finding a good host for your site an let us know if you find one!

We are a fully registered UK company. Buying domains is safe and easy, particularly if you use Paypal.

Domain buying Tips

• Avoid domains with dashes
• Avoid keyword-stuffed domains
• Avoid long domain names with many words

We have moved to a new host! Unfortunately the move wasn’t as smooth as we would have liked -  we seem to be having problems with our databases.  So many of our pages, enquiry forms and the blog don’t function properly.
We’d like to apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

Sorry!
