What performance increase will I get if I upgrade my hard drive to SSD?

Besides the average data seek time that hard drives is around 20ms and solid state drive has under 1ms, most notable performance increase SSD has over HD is the ability to handle large number of I/O (input/output) operations per second. That is why a PC with system on SSD, after the initial boot of around 10 seconds is already available for user to start working (while with HD sometimes you need to wait few minutes until system settles to be able to start working).

Having that in mind, some of the cheaper SATA SSD models handle around 10.000–30.000 operations per second and those models are good enough for laptops and desktop PCs that are used for browsing internet, checking mail, even gaming.

Though for a user that will do some heavy usage or wants overall instant response from his PC it would be recommend to get a model which is rated at 70.000–100.000 operations per second.

To sum it up, after upgrading to a decent SATA SSD you will have very fast system boot, ability to start working with PC few seconds after the desktop shows up, smooth multitasking even with lower amount of RAM memory*… etc.

Once you get accustomed to your PC running system on SSD you will have a feeling that your friends PCs that are running system from HD are broken and need service.

*Though I should mention, having system on SSD and with overall low RAM memory will make the PC use more swap memory (virtual memory on system drive in a file) and it will make additional read/writes which could slow your overall system responsivness so I would not recommend going with less than 2GB of RAM for Windows 7 and 10 even if you have SSD.

How do you create and sell domain names?

Selling domains can be done through domain name auction and marketplace websites (sedo.com, etc.) but you have to expect that they will take a cut of sales, and auctions are not the most profitable because you can’t expect big figure sales. A much better approach to selling a domain name is to research a possible market for it. Here is an example of what the process should look like: 1. Research current industry trends, for example: car automation is on the rise, virtual reality is somewhat of a thing, crypto currency and mining, to name a few obvious ones. If you are able to spot a niche technology or trend and beat others to it, then you could think of some domains in that niche, but also keep in mind: 2. Even before registering a domain, you should do some research of possible clients. Companies that would see buying that domain as a sort of investment. When you can find those, you will be making more serious profits. 3. Contact those companies by em...

What makes a domain name good?

Domain name is good if it is serving its purpose, depending on the type of its website. When choosing a domain name there are some things to remember: For a website that is a company presentation with contact info the domain name can be same as company name. For a product or a brand presentation website, the domain name should be catchy, memorable and easy to recognise - as it is a part of a long-term strategy with branding in mind. Domain name does not have to contain keywords or location if you are focusing on making your own branding (Example: Amazon, EBay, Google…). Keywords in domain name are still beneficial as search engines will put at the top search results that are very relevant to your search criteria. Creating shortest most memorable domain name that people will share takes time, don’t rush. Be original, take time and research what brands the competition is using, don’t copy or get a similar brand as you will probably lose brand identity. Chances are...

Is it illegal to buy a domain name of a company in a different country for future use?

Having in mind that a certain trademark or brand is registered and certified internationaly, though you could register it, if you don’t have legal rights to it you may end up with infringement lawsuit. The trademark owner can contact the registry operating that domain, file a complaint and you could lose the domain ownership.
