Hey Fergal. I really appreciate posting / stickying this up for everyone.
I really believe that the Duke of URL is a great online business tool.
I didn't even know about it until now! Thank you again for sharing this
information with us!

[Nazreen]

I've just tried connecting to the link of Duke of URL and the site can no longer be found. Maybe they already closed down their website or changed their domain name.

[Fergal]

Thanks Nazreen, link removed.

Duke of URL is a good online business tool. Kindly guide me how to use it.
