Recently in in my life, I come across this topic, due to a long term plan for my own hosting business, I need to register a business name and get a license to ensure my business get trusted when deal with SME’s company.

Some explanation
Just make it as simple, register business (ROB) mean register a enterprise, or a sole proprietor business. Every one can register it if you would like to get a license for your business; how ever, register company (ROC) mean register your company with “Sendirian Berhad” SDN BHD or ‘Berhad” BHD.

My Experience
Before I start, let me tell you some story that I face, not to critic on government agency, I just offer my own opinion. Their service are SUXX…

To register a business or company (ROB or ROC), we need to look for a government agency name Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM), most people manually went to their office to register business name or company name. At my state (Penang Island), they don’t have branch in Island, and need to go over the mainland for the registration, but they do offer twice a month, mobile counter open at “KOMPLEKS PASAR BAYAN BARU”.

During my registration, they reject my business name “Private Hoster“, which contain a “Private”, after check with few officer there, they sound like not friendly and keep on tell me cannot. I do search over their website (ssm.com.my), and found a lot business name contain this word, such as Private Taxi, Private loan enterprice, bla bla bla… After call to the branch at mainland, their operator pass me here and there, at the end, a officer told me “may be” last time can register with this word, but now “may be” the rules change.

What a ridiculous “may be“, and I did not give up, keep calling to their main branch and a in charge officer name Ms.Ruhaila attend me, she is very helpful, according to her, “private” did not sound special and should not be a problem at all. After that, she advice me to register over the Internet. and provide me the guide line via email.

Other Type of Translator
I do saw some other blogger use the other type of trasnlator such as TechCzar,

But when visitor visit their blog in other language, the URL are not from their own website, instead, the website are translate with techczar.com, and the URL shows like below.

With using the Global Translator, wordpress language translator, the URL will shows as below.

Does this wordpress language translator really help in SEO? I can’t actually comfirm it, since I did not have much knowledge on SEO, and just take this advice from forumer. By right should help in SEO.

Most of the people are very headache when come to choosing a good web hosting, there are a lot different web hosting, no matter is local or over sea. One of the good way is search for web hosting reviews over search engine, you might get a lot of review over there.

For my own opinion, if your target audience are come from local, try to host your website locally, and if the target audience all over the world, try to host your website over US or any country that able to provide a high speed boardband for the server. I hosted my blog at local, but will change to US server soon, since most of my visitor are come from US, Canada and Europe, and I do own a reseller hosting account which the server loacated at US.

I do own a web hosting business, but I did not seriously promote this business yet, I am still develope my buisness website, and learn as more as I can before start to promote the business, I do search web hosting articles over the Internet and learn a lot from there, such as the type of hosting and also some case study, also see other people experience over forum. If any one would like to involve in more professionalism, self hosted your own website, the basic package cost about less then MYR100, which contain 1G space and 10G bandwidth. Interested may drop me a msg, since you are the reader here, I might offer you some extra upgrade more information may visit my hosting website
