Read on on why you need a .com domain name...

A .com domain name gives your business an online advantage.

• Competitiveness - A .com domain name is one of the most popular across many geographies and industries.
• Reputation - Many of the biggest and best corporations around the world use and promote their Web sites with a .com extension.
• Creates a positive perception - A .com domain name suggests that you are serious about doing business and lends credibility.
• Establishes longevity - .com is one of the oldest extensions and suggests a well-established presence on the Internet.

Quite simply, a .com domain name offers you the best option because it provides instant recognition, visibility and credibility for your brand online, both in Malaysia and globally. A .com is appropriate for businesses of all sizes and it is the most widely used domain name extension around the world.

You can also use the domain name to create a customized and professional electronic mail address (yourname@yourcompany.com). Don't forget that 1oasis offers FREE email forwarding!

Do I need a .com domain if I already have another local domain?

The .com domain complements your local domain for a complete strategy on the Web, as it directs traffic to your web site and can be used to place the mark or name of your company on the Internet.

Whether you plan to establish relationships with local, regional or international companies, the .com domain can help with your visibility in all of these areas.

And yes, 1oasis offers FREE URL forwarding to your other existing site, including to your custom Facebook page, blog page or other social networking page. With 1oasis FREE DNS, you can also map your blogspot (Google Blogger) site with this custom domain.

By the way, we've also further dropped prices for our Thawte SSL Digital Certificates making them among the lowest in the world, and as much as 73% less than original retail prices. With 1oasis, you can save as much as RM1,000 (~$300) per certificate order.

Take advantage of strong Ringgit Malaysia currency value today by registering or renewing your SSL certificates for a two-year period, and save even more with our instant discounts from RM30 to RM600 with that one additional year.

We value our loyal customers: The more you buy, the less you'll pay for each item, both new and renewal orders!!
