Here is a video from Bob Parsons, one of my favorite “REAL” marketers out there. He has started several successful businesses and now owns and runs GoDaddy.com the most successful domain and hosting companies in the business. I do suggest that you use them for your domains. And while I am at it, stay away from 1and1 at all costs. 
Watch and learn how you can make the difference from being in the Red this year or going into the Black.
Cheers,
Andrew Anderson
