How valuable can an affordable domain be?

One of the most vital requirements for building a successful Internet presence is the domain name. It is what people will discern first when they discover your website and what they will associate you with. The domain name should be easy to memorize, but should also be something that notifies your web site's visitors what the site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)

A domain typically contains two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain Name (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain Name. There are a few sets of Top-Level Domains that you should examine prior to selecting the domain you want. Your decision should depend on the aim of your web page and on its target audience. Let's have a look at the gTLDs, or generic TLDs - these are the most common Top-Level Domains intended to designate a particular intention - .com (commercial entities), .net (networks), .biz (corporations), .info (informative resources), .org (non-profit organizations), .mobi (handheld 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 cover most fields of life, so you should settle on the one that would indicate the purpose of your web page best. There is no restriction as to who can register such TLDs, but some of them contain extra procedures to confirm that you are eligible to own such a domain (.mobi and .pro, for example).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code TLDs, are country-specific domains. Each country has its own ccTLD. Registering such a domain name is good if your target group of web site visitors is from a certain country. Many folks would like to buy goods or services from a local website, and if your target is Canada, for instance, opting for a .ca TLD could increase the visits to your web page.

Domain Redirects

You can register different TLDs, which can send your visitors to a given site like domain.com, for example. This would boost the traffic and lower the likelihood of somebody pinching your web page visitors by using the same SLD with a different Top-Level Domain Name - 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) show where the domain is hosted, in other words they point to the hosting vendor whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is using now. You can substitute the NSs of your domain name at any time. You can have your domain name registered with one firm and get the hosting service itself from another. Therefore, if you register your domain and detect decent website hosting packages someplace else at a later time, you can point your domain name to the current provider's NSs instantaneously.

Domain Name Server Records (NS Records)

In general, as long as your domain name uses a certain pair of DNSs, all its domain name records will direct to the same web hosting vendor. Some website hosting vendors, however, allow you to edit specific NS records, including the A records and the MX records of your domain. The A record is an IP address, which designates on which server your site is hosted, whereas the MX records reveal which web server handles the mail accounts associated with your domain name. For instance, if you hire a new web page designer and he develops an .ASP web page that will be accommodated on his personal Windows web server, you may wish to change solely the IP 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 emails or any sub-domains such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your present Linux web hosting account. The .ASP environment is created by Microsoft and calls for a Windows server, even though a Linux hosting server would be far more dependable.
