Domain Name Explained

One of the most crucial requirements in establishing an online identity is registering a domain name. Domain names are considered very vital for any website, as it is the web address that others will use to track your website. People who would want to visit your website will type this address in the address bar of their web browsers. Most people who seek to build a great online presence tend to overlook the process of selecting a domain, which is not a right strategy to follow. A domain must always be selected only after careful review and consideration.

Practically speaking, your domain name is the core of your internet identity, your online brand. Your customers will remember this name and will use it to find your website, your products, or your services. Moreover, since no two parties can ever hold the same domain name simultaneously, your internet identity is totally unique.

A domain name is more than your internet address: it's your global identity. It puts you on the map of today's online world, opening you to literally millions of users worldwide. When you register a domain name, you'll join millions of others who are reaping the rewards of being on the web.

 

Selection of Domain Names

Choosing the perfect domain name is crucial to the survival of your website no matter what type of site you want to build. A lot of times, people get so caught up in the design process that they forget that their domain name will usually be the first thing people see and remember.

Here’s a basic set of principles that one must follow while picking any domain name:

  • It should be unique & short
  • It should be rich in keywords
  • It should be suggestive to the nature of the business
  • It should be simple and easy to memorize
  • It should be easy to spell and should not be complicated

 

Domain Registrar

A domain registrar is basically a registered organization that is authorized by domain governing bodies to register domains. As there are several companies that provide this service, choosing one will not be difficult.

Domain names aren't actually bought and sold. In reality, they are only registered for a set period of time, usually one or two years. Once expired, anyone else may be able to register the same domain and claim ownership for a further period, unless the registration is renewed within a specific time period. Therefore, to take care of all those registrations, administer domains effectively, and provide efficient service to domain name owners, private companies are accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to serve as domain registrars.

Here are some tips that you can follow while selecting a domain registrar:

  • Choose an ICANN accredited domain registrar
  • Choose a registrar that offers reasonable prices
  • Choose a registrar that offers complete customer support
  • Choose a registrar that offers add-on services

 

Domain Name Registration

These designated registrars can process your domain name registration on your behalf and will pass the costs of this process to you, including additional fees for providing this service. They will provide a domain search service, allowing you to search for domains and check their availability. Many also provide additional services, which they usually include under the same registration fee. These services include customer service and support, administration tools, and sometimes even a free single webpage you can use for your business while your final website is still being built.

When you have selected the name that you wish to register, it is time for you to register it. The domain name registration is one of the most crucial steps in building an online identity, as a registered domain becomes a legal entity of the domain registrant and no other company or individual has any right to it. The process of registering a domain has become much simpler over the past few years.
