How crucial is to discover the best domain?

One of the most crucial prerequisites for creating a successful Internet presence is the domain. It is what visitors will discern first when they visit your website and what they will associate you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that tells your website's visitors what the web site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain traditionally has two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain Name. There are a couple of groups of TLDs that you should contemplate before you choose the domain you wish. Your pick should depend on the purpose of your site and on its target visitors. Let's examine the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domain Names - these are the most typical TLDs aimed to express a specific purpose - .com (business establishments), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (firms), .info (informational web sites), .org (organizations of a non-commercial character), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific), .name (individuals or families), .pro (certain walks of life), and so on. As you can see, these Top-Level Domains encompass most spheres of life, so you should opt for the one that would denote the aim of your website best. There is no limitation as to who can register such TLDs, but some of them include extra procedures to show that you qualify to possess such a TLD (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code TLDs, are country-specific Top-Level Domains. Each country has its own ccTLD. Settling on such a Top-Level Domain Name is good if your target group of visitors is from a certain country. Many persons would like to purchase commodities or services from a local web site, and if your goal is Canada, for example, choosing a .ca Top-Level Domain could boost the visits to your web page.

Domain Name Forwarding

You can register a bunch of Top-Level Domains, which can send your web site's visitors to a given site such as domain.com, for example. This would boost the traffic and lower the likelihood of somebody pilfering your website visitors by registering the same Second-Level Domain Name with a different Top-Level Domain - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Every domain has domain records. The name server records (NS records, a.k.a. DNS records) indicate where the domain is hosted, in other words they point to the hosting supplier whose name servers (NSs, also known as DNSs) it is utilizing at the moment. You can switch the DNSs of your domain at all times. You can have your domain name registered with one company and get the website hosting service itself from another. In this way, if you register your domain and stumble upon good website hosting plans someplace else later, you can point your domain to the current provider's NSs right away.

Domain Name Server Records (NS Records)

In general, as long as your domain name uses a certain pair of NSs, all its records will direct to the same web site hosting supplier. Some site hosting providers, though, permit you to modify certain records, such as the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which displays on which web hosting server your website is situated, whereas the MX records indicate which web server handles the email box accounts associated with your domain name. For instance, if you appoint a new web site designer and he designs an .ASP website that will be hosted on his own Windows web hosting server, you may desire to change only the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. In this way, www.domain.com will direct to the Windows hosting server, but your e-mailbox accounts or any sub-domain names such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux website hosting account. The .ASP platform is created by Microsoft and requires a Windows server, even though a Linux hosting server would be way more reliable.
