How essential is to discover the best domain?

One of the most essential preconditions for establishing a successful online presence is the domain name. It is what people will note first when they visit your site and what they will associate you with. The domain should be easy to memorize, but should also be something that notifies your website's visitors what the web page is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain usually is composed of two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain Name (SLD). If you have domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain. There are a few sets of Top-Level Domains that you should consider before you choose the domain you want. Your choice should rest on the aim of your web site and on its target spectators. Let's take a peek at the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domain Names - these are the most popular Top-Level Domains aimed to denote a given function - .com (commercial establishments), .net (networks), .biz (companies), .info (informative websites), .org (organizations of a non-commercial character), .mobi (mobile devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific region), .name (individuals or relatives), .pro (particular walks of life), and so on. As you can see, these Top-Level Domains encompass most fields of life, so you should settle on the one that would signify the aim of your site best. There is no limitation as to who can register such Top-Level Domain Names, but some of them involve extra steps to prove that you qualify to keep such a Top-Level Domain Name (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domain Names, are country-specific Top-Level Domain Names. Each country has its own ccTLD. Getting such a domain is good if your target group of web site visitors is from a certain country. Many individuals would elect to buy goods or services from a local web site, and if your target is Canada, for instance, registering a .ca Top-Level Domain Name could boost the visits to your web site.

Domain Name Forwarding

You can register a number of domains, which can forward your visitors to a particular web site such as domain.com, for example. This would raise the traffic and reduce the chance of someone swiping your site visitors by using the same Second-Level Domain Name with a different TLD - if you are not utilizing a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Every TLD has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) disclose where the domain is hosted, in other words they point to the hosting provider whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is using at the moment. You can replace the NSs of your domain whenever you wish. You can have your domain registered with one company and get the site hosting service itself from another. Thus, if you register your domain and come across good website hosting packages someplace else afterwards, you can point your domain to the present provider's name servers immediately.

Domain Name Server Records (DNS Records)

On the whole, as long as your domain uses a given set of name servers, all its domain records will lead to the same hosting vendor. Some website hosting suppliers, however, allow you to modify given records, including the A records and the MX records of your domain. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which indicates on which web hosting server your website is located, whereas the MX records disclose which hosting server tackles the e-mailbox accounts associated with your domain name. For instance, if you take on a new web page designer and he designs an .ASP web page that will be located on his own Windows web hosting server, you may desire to change only the Internet Protocol address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain name. Thus, www.domain.com will point to the Windows hosting server, but your email address accounts or any sub-domains such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux website hosting account. The .ASP environment is built by Microsoft and demands a Windows server, although a Linux web hosting server would be way more dependable.
