Domain Registration
When developing a web site, choosing a domain name and domain registration is often the most exciting and interesting part. What is a domain though? Simply put, a domain is your web address or the name that you give to your website. Once you have a registered domain, your email address can also have your domain name. When your email address reflects your domain name it creates a good impression of professionalism in the mind of the reader rather than if you have a hotmail or similar email address. When you talk about domain registration, you first need to understand what DNS or the domain name system consists of. This is the system by which internet service addresses are created and used. There are different elements to this system, the prefix, domain name and the suffix and if you want, the country code as well. The prefix is the part of the domain name that comes before the 'dot'(.) and can be any name that represents your business such as fabrics, or beauty or home-designs etc, the suffix is the part of the domain name that comes after the 'dot' and can be .com, .net, .org etc Firstly you need to find yourself a domain that best reflects who you are or what you want to say. In other words try to make the name as self explanatory and as close to your business name as possible. If yours is a website about children’s toys for instance ‘kidsstuff.com’ could be good name or if your site is about home aids you could call it ‘domestichelper.com’ and so on. Secondly it is widely recommended that you get your domain registration done. It is also a good idea to register variants (i.e. .net, .org, .biz, .info, and so on) of your domain name so that people don’t try any passing off actions with your domain name. Through domain registration, you basically stake your claim to a domain name and make it your own. You do your registration with registrars or companies in charge of distributing domain names to businesses and people. Also you need to keep your registration updated and keep it from lapsing. Domain registration is to be done every year, so if you are not alert, someone else may register your domain name. |
