This means we have to be a bit creative when registering your URL. Forget about long names that have no relation to an actual company. I'm reminded of following joke:

"Jack loved going to Web, and decided to have his own web site. His URL was "MickeyGoofyPlutoMinnie.com" and I asked why it was so long.

"Because," Jack explained, "they say it has to have at least four characters."

While this is a bit extreme, you get point.

Some special characters such as a dash are permitted and so are numbers. We recently registered http://www.1-webwiz.com. While not most creative name, it is easy to remember. As an added bonus, we have a different server for this addresses so that in event one is down, or has a long term problem, it is an easy matter to switch. All of these are tools at your disposal to sell your product or service. Not only should your offerings be diverse, but so should your method of delivery.

Diversification is important in any business, but in one as "fickle" as Internet, it is a must.
