"What other features can I add to my Web site?"

elow is a listing of the many additional services that we offer at BestReadGuide.com. For an additional charge, we can include these dynamic features that are sure to add exciting dimensions to your Web site.

DOMAIN NAMES AND REGISTRATION
"Domain name" or "Vanity name" refers to the name you choose to give your Web site, such as "www.eatatjoes.com" or "doglovers.org." Registering a domain name makes it easier for potential customers to find and remember your web site, as well as ensures you a unique online identity. You will find a need to be creative in choosing a domain name, thousands of them are snatched up everyday. We will be glad to assist you in finding which domain names are available for purchase.
New domain names must be registered with an organization called InterNIC to become active and used in association with a Web site. Currently, the InterNIC fee for new domain name registration is $70 for a two-year registration, which is renewable on a yearly basis after that for $35 per year.
We will be happy to register a domain name (www.yourbusiness.com) for you, but will pass the InterNic charges to the company. Please understand that the fees listed above are not profit for BestReadGuide.com. They are the actual costs associated with the registration service and go directly to InterNic. If you choose not to have a "Vanity" domain name", we will assign you an address within The BestreadGuide.com Directory (www.bestreadguide.com/commercial/yourbusiness.com).

PHOTO GALLERY

Imagination is the limit when it comes to using this superior tool. For an example of a Flash-based interactive map, visit Best Read Guide's Flash Las Vegas Virtual Strip page.

STREAMING VIDEO/AUDIO

Streaming these clips allows visitors to experience them in real time without lengthy download times (although we always provide a higher quality download choice). For an example of streaming Video, visit Best Read Guide's Multimedia Las Vegas page.

QUICKTIME VRS
