address in the physical world.  If you had a choice wouldn't you like an 
address like 1 Wall Street or 1 York Street Way or 1 Jalan Tunku Abdul 
Rahman?  Well in cyberspace if you're selling cars you can have an  
address like cars.com or cars.com.my if (and this is a big if) someone 
else hasn't taken it as yet.  Let us register and administer your
domain (even if you don't need it right now) before someone else takes it

domains@apic.net

***VIRTUAL SERVERS***
Many Internet service providers may tell you that you need your own machine,
maybe a dedicated line etc. etc. to have your own domain name site. Not true.
You're best to start off with a virtual server.  It's a fraction of the cost.
You don't need to have it in your country either. It is best to locate it in
a country where the bandwidth price/bandwidth quality/majority of your
customers "mix" is best. You can have a domain ending with ".sg" in
Australia and a domain ending with ".au" in the US. Let us help locate you
in cyberspace.

For more information send a blank email to our email autoresponder 
virtuals@apic.net

***INTERNET/INTRANET CONSULTING***
Here at APIC we have many years experience in the Internet and Online 
services. We can come and meet with you and discuss your options for 
getting on the Internet, your corporate image online, strategy and more.

APIC can also help you with your Intranet.  An Intranet is a localised 
network (Novell, Appletalk etc.) but is based on TCP/IP and Internet 
technology.

Let us help.  Contact staff@apic.net

***MASSIVE INFORMATION SERVERS***
Do you have truckloads of information that's on a database that you would
like to make available for a fee or for free to users. Using Speedware and
Autobahn, we are able to do this for you very quickly. Easy to administer
interfaces are written that enable Internet users (with or without
passwords) to query your database and get the information they want through
"on-the-fly" Web pages. Email staff@apic.net with your specific requirements
for a quote.

***NETCOMMERCE SERVICES***
Call us in do an audit of how you do business, how you reach your customers
and prospects and how you build relationships with them. Let us help you
leverage cyberspace to do this even better. 

What should your objective be? To provide information? To expose your
product to the growing cyber-community? To reach an international market? To
affect public relations? To build relationships with your customers? To find
more customers? To take orders? To sell? To provide your customers an
interactive buying medium?

Cyberspace is more useful for some of these objectives than it is for
others. And its degree of usefulness for given objectives is changing.

Putting your site up on the Internet by itself is quite useless - it's like
setting up shop in Timbuktu (have you been there lately?). You need to
promote it, you need to do things to have your customers to return to you.

Let us help. Contact staff@apic.net

***ACCESS COMMISSIONING***
Want to have corporate-wide net access, be an ISP or build a subnet in your
country or town? Want to have the best network, UNIX and cyberspace
authorities in Asia do it for you or help you with it? Let us set you up. We
can have you up between a week or 2 months depending upon the telecoms
bureaucracy in your locality. Contact staff@apic.net
