XYZNet: a Web Based Business Opportunity
Or should it be An Internet Based Business Opportunity. This website, or rather the domain plus
the British company XYZNet Limited, offers
opportunities to form the foundation of an extensive business. The
domain name suggests wide ranging interest areas, is sufficiently neutral
to encompass all types of businesses from fine art to the city. It could
be used as a hosting website with attraction for affiliation because
of its generality or/and as a website design company that could undertake
a wide range of assignments for individual as well as corporate clients.
Sub Domains
Any domain can be used to provide a virtually unlimited number of
customers with a web presence by setting up a sub domain. For example:
fineantiques.xyznet.co.uk, bmwcars.xyznet.co.uk,
chinawholesale.xyznet.co.uk In fact any name could be used as the sub
domain, unless the name is is use as trademark. So many desirable domain
names have been purchased years ago but by creating a sub domain your
customers may use their prefered website name. Sub domains do not incur a
registration charge and although the savings may seem modest for a small
number of sub domains if the accounting and adminstrative costs are
included the costs soon mount up. The main problem is having a good domain
name to start with, a name that is of high generality XYZNet is of high
generality and is discussed below.
The Character of the Domain Name XYZNet
Net
The "Net" part of the domain name is quite general and is the term used
to catch or contain and is almost interchangeable with the term "Web".
Consider this example:
http://www.netmag.co.uk/
The net is also a contraction of Internet
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net there is also the Microsoft
Net Framework
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/ which I am still unsure
of what its for. Net is also used as a top level domain for Internet based activities

XYZ
(I
have XYZWeb.co.uk and the associated limited company) The "XYZ" part of the domain name is the standard
mathematical term for variables and therefore has a power to stand for
virtually any business or organisation. One example is
http://www.xyzmachinetools.com/index.cfm/machinetools/Categories.Home
here the term is used to convey generality, the company sells all types of
machine tools -new and second hand, but also the relationship of
modern computer controlled machines to the Cartesian XYZ system. XYZ also has several other
connotations for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYZ A
www.google.com search results in
almost one million references to XYZ as being a widely used term used in
indexes -that is reference locations which are used to search for
something. The term has thus a highly functional effectiveness
but not a clearly understood meaning.
The History of the Acquisition of XYZNet
XYZNet was acquired as a strong domain name for setting up a web based
hosting and creative business along with other domain names incorporating
XYZ. Part of the rationale involved the relationship between the
term "XYZ" and the descriptive function of those letters in
three-dimensional design as I am interested in this area, having designed
several hundred model objects representing real world structures that
could be used in education for teaching and learning the nature of
engineering drawing and spatial concepts. This interest arose out of
an MPhil research project
XYZNet Limited is a British Company
To accompany the domain XYZNet.co.uk I formed a limited company.
The company and the domain name thus form a very viable business
opportunity for an enterprising individual or company. I have realised
that I have more domains than I actually need and the main thrust of my
own and family business internet activity does not require two generic web
domains and limited companies. I could therefore, either develop
XYZNet as a business and then offer it for sale with the limited company
or refrain from any further development and offer XYZNet as a package. At
present I have decided to do the latter.
Having control of a limited company offers
certain advantages. It should be easier to raise funds and operating
as a limited company often gives suppliers and customers a sense of
confidence in a business. Quite often, larger organisations in particular,
will prefer not to deal with non-limited businesses.
First and foremost, the principal benefit of
trading via a limited company has always been the limited liability
bestowed upon the company's officers and shareholders. As a sole trader or
other non-limited business, personal assets can be at risk in the event of
a failure of the business, but this is not the case for a limited company.
As long as the business is operated legally and within the terms of the
Companies Act, directors’ or shareholders’ personal assets are not at risk
in the event of a winding up or receivership. And as often happens on
occasion, such events are not always under our own control.
