How valuable can an affordable domain name be?

One of the most crucial prerequisites for having a successful online presence is the domain name. It is what people will observe first when they come across your web page and what they will identify you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that tells your web page's visitors what the web site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain as a rule consists of two parts - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain. There are a few sets of Top-Level Domain Names that you should consider prior to selecting the domain name you want. Your decision should depend on the purpose of your website and on its target viewers. Let's explore the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domains - these are the most widespread Top-Level Domains meant to show a specific intention - .com (business entities), .net (networks), .biz (businesses), .info (informational websites), .org (not-for-profit organizations), .mobi (mobile devices), .asia (the Asia-Pacific region), .name (individuals or relatives), .pro (particular professions), etc. As you can see, these Top-Level Domain Names cover most realms of life, so you should choose the one that would signify the objective of your site best. There is no limitation as to who can register such domain names, but some of them involve extra steps to verify that you qualify to register such a Top-Level Domain (.mobi and .pro, for example).

Country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domains, are country-specific domain names. Each country has its own ccTLD. Registering such a domain is good if your target group of web page visitors is from a specific country. Many individuals would want to purchase commodities or services from a local website, and if your goal is Canada, for instance, registering a .ca domain could boost the visits to your web page.

Domain Name Redirection

You can register a number of TLDs, which can forward your visitors to a given website like domain.com, for example. This would increase the traffic and decrease the possibility of someone snatching your web page visitors by using the same SLD with a different Top-Level Domain Name - if you are not using a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Every domain name has domain records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) indicate where the domain is hosted, in other words they point to the hosting supplier whose name servers (NSs, also known as DNSs) it is utilizing at the moment. You can change the name servers of your domain name at any time. You can have your domain name registered with one provider and get the hosting service itself from another. Therefore, if you register your domain and stumble upon decent website hosting services somewhere else at a later time, you can point your domain to the new provider's name servers at once.

Domain Name Server Records (DNS Records)

In general, as long as your domain name utilizes a given pair of DNSs, all its DNS records will direct to the same web space hosting company. Some webspace hosting distributors, though, enable you to edit specific name server records, like the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which indicates on which hosting server your web site is hosted, whereas the MX records reveal which web hosting server tackles the mail aliases associated with your domain name. For example, if you engage a new web designer and he sets up an .ASP web page that will be situated on his personal Windows hosting server, you may desire to modify only the Internet Protocol address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain name. In this way, www.domain.com will point to the Windows web server, but your mail address accounts or any sub-domain names such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux site hosting account. The .ASP environment is created by Microsoft and calls for a Windows web hosting server, even though a Linux web hosting server would be far more secure.
