How crucial is to discover the best domain?

One of the most vital prerequisites for building a successful web presence is the domain name. It is what visitors will see first when they come across your site and what they will relate you with. The domain name should be easy to remember, but should also be something that tells your site's visitors what the web site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)

A domain as a rule consists of 2 fragments - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain Name (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD. There are several categories of Top-Level Domains that you should contemplate prior to choosing the domain you desire. Your decision should be based on the purpose of your web site and on its target audience. Let's scrutinize the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domains - these are the most popular TLDs aimed to signify a specific intention - .com (business establishments), .net (networks), .biz (firms), .info (informative sites), .org (non-profit organizations), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia-Pacific region), .name (persons or relatives), .pro (given professions), and so on. As you can see, these Top-Level Domain Names cover most spheres of life, so you should pick the one that would describe the purpose of your site best. There is no limitation as to who can register such TLDs, but some of them involve additional procedures to demonstrate that you qualify to have such a Top-Level Domain (.mobi and .pro, for example).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code TLDs, are country-specific TLDs. Each country has its own ccTLD. Picking such a domain is good if your target group of website visitors is from a given country. Many folks would rather buy goods or services from a local web page, and if your aim is Canada, for example, registering a .ca Top-Level Domain Name could boost the visits to your website.

Domain Name Redirects

You can register a number of Top-Level Domain Names, which can forward your site's visitors to a certain web site such as domain.com, for instance. This would increase the traffic and reduce the possibility of somebody snatching your website visitors by using the same SLD with a different Top-Level Domain Name - if you are not using a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Every Top-Level Domain Name has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) exhibit where the domain name is hosted, i.e. they point to the hosting vendor whose name servers (NSs, also known as DNSs) it is utilizing now. You can swap the name servers of your domain at all times. You can have your domain name registered with one company and get the web hosting service itself from another. Hence, if you register your domain name and come across good website hosting packages someplace else afterwards, you can point your domain name to the new provider's NSs right away.

Domain Name Server Records (NS Records)

In general, as long as your domain utilizes a given set of NSs, all its DNS records will point to the same hosting supplier. Some web site hosting firms, though, permit you to modify given name server records, like the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which specifies on which web server your web site is hosted, whereas the MX records exhibit which server handles the electronic mail accounts related to your domain name. For instance, if you engage a new web designer and he designs an .ASP site that will be hosted on his own Windows web server, you may want to edit just the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. Thus, www.domain.com will direct to the Windows hosting server, but your e-mail boxes or any sub-domains like forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your present Linux site hosting account. The .ASP platform is developed by Microsoft and requests a Windows web server, even though a Linux hosting server would be way more reliable.
