When signing up for a www.stock-us.com hosting account, you are eligible for a free domain name registration: that means you can register the primary domain of your account for free at SiteGround. The renewal of such a primary domain, registered by SiteGround, will be free for as long as you keep your hosting account with us.
The primary domain name is the one you specify when signing up for an account. If you already own the domain name you have signed up and want to transfer that domain to SiteGround, you will need to pay $14.95 for the domain transfer. The primary domain of an account that was transferred from another Registrar will get its registration extended with 1 year upon transfer, but will not be renewed for free afterwards.
Please note that only the registration of the primary domain name is free: any other domain name registration is paid and has to be ordered through your Customer's area.

Domain Names
If we had to remember the IP addresses of all of the Web sites we visit every day, we would all go nuts. Human beings just are not that good at remembering strings of numbers. We are good at remembering words, however, and that is where domain names come in. You probably have hundreds of domain names stored in your head. For example:
http://stock-us.blogspot.com - a typical name
www.yahoo.com - the world's best-known name
www.mit.edu - a popular EDU name
encarta.msn.com - a Web server that does not start with www
www.bbc.co.uk - a name using four parts rather than three
ftp.microsoft.com - an FTP server rather than a Web server
The COM, EDU and UK portions of these domain names are called the top-level domain or first-level domain. There are several hundred top-level domain names, including COM, EDU, GOV, MIL, NET, ORG and INT, as well as unique two-letter combinations for every country.
Within every top-level domain there is a huge list of second-level domains. For example, in the COM first-level domain, you've got:
howstuffworks
yahoo
msn
microsoft
plus millions of others...
Every name in the COM top-level domain must be unique, but there can be duplication across domains. For example, howstuffworks.com and howstuffworks.org are completely different machines.
In the case of bbc.co.uk, it is a third-level domain. Up to 127 levels are possible, although more than four is rare.
The left-most word, such as www or encarta, is the host name. It specifies the name of a specific machine (with a specific IP address) in a domain. A given domain can potentially contain millions of host names as long as they are all unique within that domain.
Because all of the names in a given domain need to be unique, there has to be a single entity that controls the list and makes sure no duplicates arise. For example, the COM domain cannot contain any duplicate names, and a company called Network Solutions is in charge of maintaining this list. When you register a domain name, it goes through one of several dozen registrars who work with Network Solutions to add names to the list. Network Solutions, in turn, keeps a central database known as the whois database that contains information about the owner and name servers for each domain. If you go to the whois form, you can find information about any domain currently in existence.
While it is important to have a central authority keeping track of the database of names in the COM (and other) top-level domain, you would not want to centralize the database of all of the information in the COM domain. For example, Microsoft has hundreds of thousands of IP addresses and host names. Microsoft wants to maintain its own domain name server for the microsoft.com domain. Similarly, Great Britain probably wants to administrate the uk top-level domain, and Australia probably wants to administrate the au domain, and so on. For this reason, the DNS system is a distributed database. Microsoft is completely responsible for dealing with the name server for microsoft.com -- it maintains the machines that implement its part of the DNS system, and Microsoft can change the database for its domain whenever it wants to because it owns its domain name servers.
Every domain has a domain name server somewhere that handles its requests, and there is a person maintaining the records in that DNS. This is one of the most amazing parts of the DNS system -- it is completely distributed throughout the world on millions of machines administered by millions of people, yet it behaves like a single, integrated database!

How Domain Name Servers Work?
If you spend any time on the Internet sending e-mail or browsing the
Web, then you use domain name servers without even realizing it. Domain name servers, or DNS, are an incredibly important but completely hidden part of the Internet, and they are fascinating. The DNS system forms one of the largest and most active distributed databases on the planet. Without DNS, the Internet would shut down very quickly.
In this article, we'll take a look at the DNS system so you can understand how it works and appreciate its amazing capabilities.
When you use the Web or send an e-mail message, you use a domain name to do it. For example, the URL "http://stock-us.blogspot.com" contains the domain name stock-us.blogspot.com. So does the e-mail address "stock-us.blogspot.com."
Human-readable names like "csssbbs.com" are easy for people to remember, but they don't do machines any good. All of the machines use names called IP addresses to refer to one another. For example, the machine that humans refer to as "http://stock-us.blogspot.com" has the IP address 193.133.123.210. Every time you use a domain name, you use the Internet's domain name servers (DNS) to translate the human-readable domain name into the machine-readable IP address. During a day of browsing and e-mailing, you might access the domain name servers hundreds of times!
Domain name servers translate domain names to IP addresses. That sounds like a simple task, and it would be -- except for five things:
There are billions of IP addresses currently in use, and most machines have a human-readable name as well.
There are many billions of DNS requests made every day. A single person can easily make a hundred or more DNS requests a day, and there are hundreds of millions of people and machines using the Internet daily.
Domain names and IP addresses change daily.
New domain names get created daily.
Millions of people do the work to change and add domain names and IP addresses every day.
The DNS system is a database, and no other database on the planet gets this many requests. No other database on the planet has millions of people changing it every day, either. That is what makes the DNS system so unique.
IP Addresses
To keep all of the machines on the Internet straight, each machine is assigned a unique address called an IP address. IP stands for Internet protocol, and these addresses are 32-bit numbers normally expressed as four "octets" in a "dotted decimal number." A typical IP address looks like this:
193.133.123.210
The four numbers in an IP address are called octets because they can have values between 0 and 256 (28 possibilities per octet).
Every machine on the Internet has its own IP address. A server has a static IP address that does not change very often. A home machine that is dialing up through a modem often has an IP address that is assigned by the ISP when you dial in. That IP address is unique for your session and may be different the next time you dial in. In this way, an ISP only needs one IP address for each modem it supports, rather than for every customer.
If you are working on a Windows machine, you can view your current IP address with the command WINIPCFG.EXE (IPCONFIG.EXE for Windows 2000/XP). On a UNIX machine, type nslookup along with a machine name (such as "nslookup http://stock-us.blogspot.com") to display the IP address of the machine (use the command hostname to learn the name of your machine).
For more information on IP addresses, see IANA.
As far as the Internet's machines are concerned, an IP address is all that you need to talk to a server. For example, you can type in your browser the URL http://193.133.123.210 and you will arrive at the machine that contains the Web server for csssbbs. Domain names are strictly a human convenience.

Knowledge about domain
Most generally, domain knowledge is the knowledge which is valid and directly used for a pre-selected domain of human endeavor or an autonomous computer activity.
Specialists and experts use and develop their own domain knowledge.
If the concept domain knowledge or domain expert is used we emphasize a specific domain which is an object of the discourse/interest/problem.
More particular, in software engineering, domain knowledge is knowledge about the environment in which the target system operates, for example, software agents. Domain knowledge is important, because it usually must be learned from software users in the domain ( as domain specialists/experts), rather than from software developers.
Communicating between end-users and software developers is often difficult. They must find a common language to communicate in. Developing enough shared vocabulary to communicate can often take a while.
Expert’s domain knowledge (frequently informal and ill structured) is transformed in computer programs and active data, for example in a set of rules in knowledge bases, by knowledge engineers.
For example:
Embedded controllers for automobile engines know how to control engines.
Medical software encodes knowledge and information about patients and medicine
Financial software encode formal rules related to purchasing, accounts, and inventory.

And just how much worse can the news get from here?
And just how much worse can the news get from here? The Dow's on tracks to close out its worst June since the Great Depression, down almost 10% for the month; GM's stock is trading at a 54-year low, taking it right back to when CEO Charles Wilson declared "what was good for the country was good for General Motors and vice versa"; US Dollars – the bedrock of world forex reserves – now buy one-third less against the rest of the world's money compared with 2002; The price of crude oil has risen more than five times over since US and UK troops liberated the oil fields of Iraq in 2003; Libya is threatening to cut its oil production in protest at US anti-terrorism laws; Tehran just pulled $75bn worth of investments from Europe to avoid sanctions against Iran 's nuclear program; Global inflation has risen from 3% last June to more than 5.2% per year today; analysts at Barclays Capital believe US inflation will hit 5.5% by August; Real estate prices have turned sharply lower in the US (down 15% year-on-year), Ireland (down 13%) and the UK (down 3.6%) as well as in Spain , Australia , South Africa and the emerging economies of east-central Europe . Price in Riga , Latvia dumped 38% in the year to May; Western consumer confidence has sunk to multi-year lows; emerging-market consumers face the worst rates of inflation in more than two decades, rising 25% year-on-year in Vietnam and more than 13% in India; surging fuel and food prices have sparked protests and riots in Asia and now unionized strikes across Europe. Investment and lending banks are being forced to take back "securitized" debt onto their balance sheets, destroying their capital adequacy ratios and halting new lending as pension & insurance funds try to flee risk. In the UK alone, new lending fell 95% in May after allowing for such "de-securitization"; Watch out below! It's every man for himself – women and children included! Or so the financial pundits now claim. Makes you wonder where they've been during the bull market in Gold starting in 2001. But with inflation surging and new credit shrinking, "w e're in a nasty environment," said Tim Bond, head equity strategist at Barclays bank in London , this week. Above all, "there is an inflation shock underway," he said in Barclays' latest Global Outlook . "This is going to be very negative for financial assets. [So] we are going into tortoise mood and are retreating into our shell. "Investors will do well if they can preserve their wealth." And investors who choose to Buy Gold are usually looking to achieve just that. Indestructible, un-inflatable, and instantly priced in the world's only true globalized market, gold bullion stands apart from all of those boom-time investments. Stocks, bonds, securitized debt, real estate...you can keep 'em when the end of the world strikes. These happy assets promise to pay you income. They also rise in value as the economy grows. Whereas gold, in sharp contrast, just sits there – neither smiling nor frowning, and never paying an income. Its value comes from, well, from its gold-ness alone. And as the spike above $1,000 an ounce showed in mid-March – just as Bear Stearns collapsed – you need the end of the world to make Buying Gold worthwhile. Right?
Well, perhaps not.
Because the value put upon gold – as BullionVault has noted all-too often before – should also be expected to benefit from sub-zero real rates of interest. War and terror be damned! The only sure push that gold prices need is low interest rates colliding with rising inflation.
And right now the world's got that in spades.
"Figure 8," notes Michael Lewis of Deutsche Bank in a recent paper for the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), "illustrates the strong performance in gold returns as US real interest rates decline. We find that when real interest rates in the US move below -3%, gold returns have tended to be significant."
Listen up at the back! Because the Federal Reserve's key interest rates stands at just 2.0%, scarcely half the rate of US consumer-price inflation. And with a real return paid to cash of minus 200-basis points, you really should doubt the Fed's true intent towards the value of money from here.
Even with the Euro trading above $1.57 on the foreign exchange markets, however – and even with the European Central Bank (ECB) promising to raise interest rates to defeat inflation next week – the Eurozone's 320 million consumers are also suffering a 12-year record rate of wealth destruction. Here in the United Kingdom, after inflation and tax since the middle of 2003, the real returns paid to cash savings have stuck right on zero since mid-2003.
The fast-growing economy of India , meantime, offers negative real interest rates of 3% and worse. Taiwan 's real interest rates sit slap bang on zero after a rate-hike this week. And Chinese cash savers are way under water with inflation running at 7%.
Any wonder that "the number of credit cards in circulation jumped 93% in the year ending March 31 to 104.7 million," as the Asia Times quotes the People's Bank of China this week...? Central banks everywhere want you to spend money, not save it, forcing the issue by destroying the value of money itself.
So any wonder that the world bid for Gold – a tangible asset that can't be inflated and can't be destroyed – just keeps rising higher...? "The purpose of money is to be a store of value," said Dr.Marc Faber – the infamous fund manager behind the Gloom, Boom & Doom letter – to CNBC today.
(He kept laughing for some reason. No doubt he's long gold...)
"When interest rates are negative, it destroys the wealth of honest depositors who have their money in the bank and don't want to speculate," Faber went on. "Now what people should do, basically, is to Invest in Gold . Because when it comes to action, the Fed show no concern about inflation...
"The policies pursued by Mr.Bernanke have damaged the American public enormously by pushing commodity prices – specifically food and oil prices – much higher. And so real incomes are going down and discretionary spending is being hurt very badly."
Gold represents wealth, in a word. Just remember that it won't actually grow wealth, because it's not a productive asset. Whatever else you might want from a metal, wealth preservation is the gold buyer's best hope.
And that might prove all investors can ask if the news on inflation and rates, stocks, bonds and jobs, doesn't start getting better.

Today's Stock Market headline: Testing, Testing, Testing ... 3 Indexes at a stress level?
Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets Jul 10, 2007 - 02:32 PM There are 3 important testing levels, all occurring today, in the market on the S&P 500, the DOW, and our Institutional Index. Each chart is below showing their respective resistance levels being tested. Chart 1:
The S&P 500 The S&P's intra-day chart is below and shows how it has been in a descending channel since the beginning of June. You can clearly see on the chart, that the S&P will be testing the resistance of its upper channel as the day opens.
The S&P 500 The S&P's intra-day chart is below and shows how it has been in a descending channel since the beginning of June. You can clearly see on the chart, that the S&P will be testing the resistance of its upper channel as the day opens.
Chart 2: The Dow Jones Industrials. This 10 minute chart of the DOW shows its movement during the past 8 days. Note how the tops are weakening (red lines on the price chart) and how the DOW closed below a minor support yesterday. It should test the second support line this morning, and if it breaks through that, it will test the bottom support level.
