Where can I find a good,reliable honest website provider or host?
I’ve recently created a business plan and am trying to expand my business online. E-Commerce. I need a hosting site that sets up PayPal and other credit card services. I know Ebay is an option but that’s not really what I’m looking for. I would like my own domain name and an easy accessible site to sell my products with no hassle. Any suggestions?
Jere answers:
I have 2 sites. One hosted by Yahoo, and one by Go Daddy. Both work well for me.

How to Copyright my fashion business name?
I just started my own clothing business online and i was wondering how can I copyright? is it free? what website do I go to? or whatever information you can give me about it. Thank you
Jere answers:
You wouldn’t copyright it. Copyrights can be obtained for things of an artistic nature. This includes, of course, poetry, films, sculptures, music, fiction, etc. But can also include things that may not necessarily seem “artistic” in the general sense of the word. Copyrights can also be obtained for advertising copy, games, software programs and blueprints, to name just a few.
To protect a business name within your industry, you would apply for a trademark.
Trademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to the mark within the specified industry.
Of course, it’s necessary to research the mark comprehensively prior to filing to ensure that there is no possibility of infringing upon another party.
This entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.
To register a trademark, that’s done either through your Secretary of State for a State trademark or the US Patent & Trademark Office for a Federal trademark.
If you are only conducting business in one state, then a State trademark is most appropriate. If you conduct (OR are planning to conduct) business in at least 2 states OR between the US & any other country, you can file for a Federal trademark.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
