Expanding Top Level Domain Names – Yea or Nay?

124 million dollars…now that is a ridiculous sum of money. An amount that most of us would stare at in awe, mouth agape; possibly capable of muttering a stretch of incoherent babble, but probably not. This is the amount of money that Hostopia went for in its acquisition by Deluxe Corporation. Hostopia is the one [...]

SEO…You Need to Know it…Seriously
