I talked to the InterNIC people about this -- instead of having two separate 
or different domains you should create "sub domains" for each activity.  For 
example, if uplinktech.com has offices that make software, you could have
   info@soft.uplinktech.com

and if you had activities that made hardware, you could use
   info@hardware.uplinktech.com

You can have endless variations to meet you needs without adding any burden 
to the interNIC registration services.  You will notice that this is exactly 
what large institutions do already --- check out any university to see how 
they have set up all their machines.

To set up the sub domains, talk to your internet provider.
