i will open a "graphic-cards only" store soon

[flexy]

edit: got the domain

 

[postmortemIA]

premiumgraphiccards.com

 

[flexy]

yeah..i got a NAME...i mean...i need a domain so i can use that name

i would have one way to get another free .com..but it would require approx. 2-3 hrs filling out spam surveys

 

[postmortemIA]

you want business? then pay for it, plain and simple.

 

[Stoneburner]

Well... he did say he was broke...

 

[Vinnybcfc]

so you can afford the cards but not a domain name?

 

[BlancoNino]

If I loan you the money to pay for a website, you can give me 90% of all the profits in return + your girlfriend. It's only fair.

 

[f1sh3r]

get a cheap hosting plan to start. cirtexhosting.com has $2 packages.. make some money and upgrade.

 

[Avalon]

I'd borrow some money.
It doesn't start out sounding very well for you when you say you want to open a business but can't afford to get your domain hosted

Very true. Not only that, but credit is what you'll need as well. Well to buy from the big distributors anyway. Thats when you start making the real money.

1and1.com offers MS Hosting with 5 GB webspace, 500 email accounts, and a free .com, .net, .org starting at like $2 usd a month for 6 months. a pretty good deal imo.

www.1and1.com

integrated would be an idea...but i plan to specialize 100% on gfx cards.

There are TOO MANY hardware stores out which have everything ..but not that many specialized ones. Imagine how hard it would be to beat...say....newegg

Niche market is where it is

If users looking for a gfx-card...they can go to my site and NOT wade thru million of other products.

I am also extremely passionate about gfx-cards,..so it would be perfect

there are ways where you dont need money...either selling as an affiliate..or whole-sale drop shipping. Looking into options right now.

Focusing on the design and hosting right now...for the customer it doesnt play a role whether i do sell the items physically ...or it goes over a partner.

As long as the selecetion is great and prices too.

What about GPYou ? Yay ? Nay ? Just an idea.

 

[flexy]

if someone DOES offer a free domain name...please PM me or email

gwrauh1@gmx.net

I admit the problem is my total lack of funds.....but we can make a deal.

I need a domain name, also promotion, MOST of the stuff costs money (getting traffic for free is NOT easy)..but its doable..and time-consuming. Traffic == Money. If i sell stuff (which i am certain i will) we can make a deal. The store basically is up and running...as said i need just need to HOST it, respective i need a domain name. i DO have a host where i can put commercial stuff up for free.

simpler, to the point, is always good.

Someone needs to see the name in google...and instantly KNOW what it is about.

If i sell...say..Rolex watches....the most obvious thing would be Rolex-Store.com
or Rolex-Cheap.com ..but then i dont like names with "spam words" in it like "deal" or "cheap"...ok, maybe "deal" is ok.

people nowadays loook for deals...they go to newegg or...for other stuff to walmart "premium" kinda implies high-end, which is NOT that bad....but might be a turnoff for others. Just what i think. Otherwise not THAT bad an idea for a name.

Not really a great way to launch a business going to an enthusiast web site an telling everyone you are broke lol

but..launching my sites is one way to do something about it

Edit: Enthusiasm and positive thinking...is the key

 

[Warren21]

If you are price competetive and offer shipping/pricing in Canadian and not only USD I would buy from you in a heartbeat. ATM NCIX.com gets all my love and not Newegg cause NCIX is whole-heartedly North-American, shipping to Canada and the U.S. Newegg is American only, but they have the best selection and pricing around -- with a direct price conversion at a decent rate (lets say .88c Can = 1$ USD) they would rack in tons of my business...

Mainstreamgraphiccards.com?

 

[flexy]

i applied for a free *.com, might take a day or so for them to verify my stuff.

My idea is SIMPLE www.graphic-card-store.com

Whereas the question..what is actually right ? "graphic cards store" ? "graphics cards store" ? "graphic card store" ?
