what are the ramifications of changing a web site extension from .com to .org?

To my knowledge, it's not as simple as just changing your domain from .com to .org.  You would need to register the .org name, and then you, your web-designer or your hosting company would need to copy everything from the .com domain to the .org domain.  It sounds more complicated than it really is...LOL.  \n\nAs for search engine rankings, you'd basically have to start over from scratch with the new .org name.  That part stinks, but there's ways to keep your traffic.  For the time being, don't allow the .com domain name to expire.  Contact your hosting company to have any hits to your .com domain redirected to your .org domain.  Then, while still utilizing the .com's search engine positions, you can work on getting the .org to the same place in the engines.  When you've reached that point (it'll probably take some time), you can simply allow the .com domain name to expire.  Or if you choose, you can keep them both and try to capitalize on both domains being in the search engines.\n\nHope this helps...\n\n--Andy

Not really, but you can download filterset.G and update your hosts file\n\nhttp://filesharingplace.com/supertrickxg/projects.htm\nhttp://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm\nhttp://www.hosts-file.net/downloads.html

It is not possible because ASPNET runtime takes care of it, as it is not changed accidently.\nAlso, if u change it the web-application is restarted as u should take a note of this.\n\nEven if, u want to change go with some simple file-handling code.

Of course. However, be advised that new domain names can be registered up to 10 years, and existing domain names can be renewed up to 9 years.\n\nCurrent technical rules dictate this. And no one's seeing any legit reason to change it.\n\nDave Zan\nhttp://www.DaveZan.com

Go to Godaddy.com and sign up for "web site tonight" (they might have changed the name, but it is very easy.)

Originally, the addresses were designed for a particular use. .com was for commercial interests only. .net was for network framework and infrastructure. .org was for non-profit organizations.\n\nHowever, several years ago after pressure from the internet community, the Registrars agreed to remove those restrictions from most of the extensions (.com .net etc). The only ones not available to the general public are .gov and .edu. You can even get foreign TLD's if you have a valid foreign address to register it to.\n\nSo, the short answer to your question? Yes, you can register a .org w/o anyone caring about it.

You can do this with a server-side include, assuming your Web server supports server-side includes (most do).\n\nTo do that:\n\n1. Create your links page, minus the html, head and body tags.\n\nIn other words, your links page would just be the links and associated HTML:\n\n<p><a href="somelink">Some Link</a> | <a href="link2">Link 2</a></p>\n<p><a href="link3">Link 3</p>\n\nSave that page as links.htm\n\n2. You'll need to rename all the files that will include this page to be .shtm or .shtml, rather than .htm or .html.\n\n3. You'll save the link file to the root directory of your Web site (that is, the same directory as your default home page).\n\n4. You'll add this wherever your want the links page to appear:\n\n<!--# include virtual="/links.htm" -->\n\nSo yes, you do need to re-upload all the pages you want to have the links page appear on after renaming their extensions and adding the code in step 4.\n\nYou'll also need to re-link all your pages to each other, to reflect the new .shtm / .shtml extensions.\n\nSo there's some significant initial pain, but once you've done that, any time you change your links page, it will appear properly in every page, as changed.

Looks like they are forwarding their domain to dump.com.\nI can't see it either.

It can't be done. What you need to do is register a new domain name that is shorter, then move your website to the new domain. Or just use the domain name to automatically forward to your existing site.\n\nYahoo is running a special: For $2.99 you can register a new domain name.\n\nhttp://sbs.smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/?p=TROPHY&ovmkt=NB518CV89QPBI1HVSF9SBJSIAC&OVRAW=domain&OVKEY=domain&OVMTC=standard

It depends on how the server administrators have configured the service I'm afraid :)\n\nYou could use the following tip to make life a bit easier:\n\nWith the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers, pressing the Control and Enter keys simultaneously will prefix 'www' and suffix '.com' to whatever has been typed into the address box.\n\nHope this helps.

if you copied and paste it from some place else it might be incomplete \n\ncopy it into the address link place in your browser then delete everything behind the last "/" hit enter if that does not work delete everything behind the next "/"  keep doing that until ou get to the .com
