In response to popular demand, we’ve added email to eShop and eBooking accounts, making the product an even more complete business-building solution than ever before.

We’ve also spruced up the website to give you a better idea of what the product is all about and some of the excellent administrative backoffice and marketing features it includes. You can also take a look at some of the live eShops being run by our customers to help you really get a feel for what a professional-looking, feature-rich shop website you can build and host using the eShop system.

We’ve a couple more things planned for the eShop system, but if there’s anything you’d like to see either leave a comment or start a thread on the eShop Forum and we’ll add it to the list of things to look into.

We’re interested in hearing from you if you reckon you can put together an article on the sort of topic our readers are interested in. You could be a web designer with usability thoughts to share, an SEO expert with tips or industry comment to pass on, or you might simply have built an eShop and have some words of wisdom that you think would be useful for other eShop users.

If you’d like to be featured as a guest blogger (You’ll receive a link back to your website from here on the Daily blog in return, of course), just drop us a line with your idea.

Memorable domain names can be hard to come by these days, but we think that .uk.com domains really fit the bill for UK-based websites. They’re relevant, professional and make it clear where you’re based. And now they’re available for an amazing £15.99 – that’s almost a tenner off the usual price! Be quick, though – this offer’s only open until 30th September.

A .tv domain is the domain name for websites with video content. They’re memorable, they instantly tell your visitors that they’ll find loads of great visual content on your website – and for a limited time only, they’re half price! Grab your .tv domain now for a fantastic £14.99 per year.

The launch of .CO domains has been hugely successful, with over 336,000 of them already registered. Google has also recently announced that it will be treating .CO as a truly international domain, which means that your .CO domain will have the same geo-targeting options available to it as other generic global domain names like .com or .net – brilliant for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). What’s not to like?

Then you need to know about the brand new domain extension that’s due to be launched this summer! .co domains give you a great opportunity to snag a memorable, unique domain that’s perfect for building a community or communications brand. Already have a brand you’re happy with? Then maybe you should grab the .co in order to protect it! .co domains aren’t on general sale yet, but we’re taking pre-orders for .co domain registrations now. As soon as it’s possible to buy them, we’ll submit your request and do our level best to bag it for you. You’ll need to be quick, though – they might not be available now but they’ll be registered on a first come, first served basis so someone may still pip you to the post (we’ll refund you if you’ve pre-ordered a registration and we find we’re unable to register the domain for you).

A word to the wise, though. The big brands will snap theirs up at an earlier (and more expensive – think ‘move the decimal point along a bit and be ready to go to auction’) stage of the process – or simply use their trademarks to claim the domain legitimately – so I wouldn’t bother trying to snag microsoft.co.

Where did .co come from?

It’s actually originally the Columbian domain extension, much like the .uk that we’re familiar with in the United Kingdom. But, Columbia felt that it had such potential that it would be popular elsewhere in the world – just like the folk of Tuvalu did with .tv – so it was decided that they’d release it for general use.

So, how does the launch of a new domain extension work?

There are several stages to the launch of a new domain extension. First is what’s called Sunrise period. This is where owners of registered trademarks step forward to apply for domain names that fit with the trademarks they hold. Applications are assessed, and if there are two valid applications for the same domain there will be an auction to determine the winner. The next stage is Landrush. This opens up registration to those who don’t necessarily have trademarks but do have the wherewithal to pay a couple of hundred quid (or more) for a domain name. If it’s not been registered during Sunrise, it’s fair game here and an auction will occur if there are multiple applications for the same domain.

Finally, the new domain extension goes into General Availability. This is just as it sounds and is what we’re taking pre-orders for – anything which hasn’t been snaffled during Sunrise or Landrush becomes available to register, the price drops to its standard level (£27.99 per year from Daily) and domain name registration works just as it normally does. For .co, this happens on 20th July – we’ll submit your requested domains as soon as possible.
