OK, Since I have been a webmaster for 5 years and know the "ins and outs" of the web and IP addresses and top-level domains versus second level domain names I think I will respond (not usually my nature). The name will be different. It is easy to change and it doesn't affect the time that it takes to get the site up and running (which WILL be tomorrow sometime). If I send you and e-mail that says check out insidertradin.com and you go there, guess what!?! You don't care what the name was unless you lose it or don't bookmark it! The same is true if a person clicks on a link to the home page. The same is ALSO true that if in the future they want to buy a name and change to that name they can forward any requests to insidertradin.com to AUTOMATICALLY go to the new domain. A DOMAIN NAME does NOT MAKE A COMPANY. It is a tool and I agree that the tool needs to be the best that it can be, but people PLEASE, IT IS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL!

Having been through this issue before in my own Web-related business, it does matter somewhat when potential customers only have the site or company name to go on when trying to locate the Web site. On the other hand, many (or possibly most) will find the site via links from other sites or from a link listed by a search engine. When I look for a company's web site I always use a search engine such as Yahoo or Lycos because sometimes the Web address (URL) will not match the company name. So, in this case, it doesn't matter what the URL is. Also, a less than ideal URL should not stop the momentum of launching a Web site because adjustments can easily be made after the fact. For instance, if a better URL can be obtained later, that new URL can be easily linked to the existing site. Long on PRWT since .014! Beany
