We already discussed about web host and types of web host,
now we will discuss about Domain name and Domain Types. A domain name defines the base address of your web site or
website’s. It should be short and catchy so that one can remember it easily. The
domain name for a web site should be permanent and easy to remember. If the
domain name will change year by year how come your visitor will remember your
domain name , There are a few important items to consider when choosing a
domain name:
Domain Types
After you have chosen a name, there are many different types
of extensions to choose from. Lets say you have chosen “mysite" as your
name, you then have the option of registering mysite.com, mysite.net and many
more lesser known extensions. Below is a reference of the correct usage of
certain extensions, however, people tend to follow these guidelines less and
less with each passing year.
Just try to find the right domain type for you and follow a
simple rule: If you cannot get the .com, then using your country’s domain
extension is a viable solution.
Registering a Domain
Now you have selected your domain and its type, then the
next step is to register your domain, head over to Go Daddy or search google
for a domain registrar. Earlier some domain registering services were charging
as much as $30- $40 a year, but now the competition is high, and firms have
driven down prices to around $7 - $ 14. These prices make it much easier and
cheaper for companies and individuals to secure all domain extensions that
include their name.
Buying Existing & Expired Domain
If you wish you can save your time by just buying an existing domain from a willing seller. Its like real estate where buyer pay for a home and the seller gets money for the same home.Before buying just do some research so that you will get to know the worth of that particular website. A good starting place for buying and selling names is Domain Name Forums.
A cheaper and decent way to get a domain name, Is to check out the list of expired domain names. These are domains that people have registered more than a year ago and had opted out of renewing their ownership. It means these domains are now available to the public and you can head over to DotDNR to begin your search of this potential market.
