Website domain name

The domain name is the unique name of the website.

Domain name registration should be included in the hosting solution.

The domain name should be easy to remember and write.

What is a domain name?

The domain name is the unique name of the website, such as w3cschool.cc.

Domain name needs to be registered. When a domain name is registered, it is added to a large domain registrar, along with information about your website - including IP information that is stored on a DNS server.

DNS refers to Domain Name System. DNS servers are responsible for informing other computers on the internet about your domain name and address.

Registering a domain name

You can register a domain name through a domain name registration company.

These companies all provide interfaces for querying available domain names, and provide domain name suffixes that can be registered at the same time.

Choose a domain name

Choosing a domain name is an important step for any individual or organization.

While domain names are being registered in large numbers, new domain extensions and creative ideas still provide thousands of great options.

When choosing a domain name, it is important to consider the purpose of the domain name. This will make it easier for people to find your website.

A great domain name has the following characteristics:

Short - People don’t like typing! The shorter the domain name, the more accessible it is and the less likely it is that users will make typing errors.

Meaningful - Meaningless short domain names are not necessarily good. 34i4nh69.com is only 8 characters long, but is neither easy to type nor easy to remember. Therefore, please choose a domain name that is relevant to your website and easy to understand.

Clarity- Clarity is also important when choosing a domain name. Avoid choosing domain names that are difficult to spell or pronounce. Also pay attention to whether the domain name you choose sounds good to your ears and whether you can communicate quickly over the phone.

Exposure - Just like a high-end real estate project can get extremely high exposure, a short and easy-to-remember domain name is also an asset. In addition to visitors using your domain name, you should also consider search engines. Search engines index and rank your website by the relevance of items people search for online. To maximize your website's exposure, include relevant search terms in your domain name. Of course, the premise is still that the domain name you choose should be short, clear and meaningful.

Subdomain name

Most people don’t realize it, but they do use subdomain names every day. The most common "www" is actually a typical subdomain name. Subdomain names can be created on the DNS

server and do not need to be registered through a domain name registrar. Of course, before creating a subdomain name, you still need to register the original domain name first. You can see many examples of subdomains on the internet: store.apple.com and support.microsoft.com, for example.

You can ask your web hosting provider to create a subdomain, or you can create it by managing your DNS server.

Fake Domain Names - Directory Listing

Some providers may provide you with a unique name underneath their domain name: www.theircompany.com/yourcompany/

This is not a real domain name, but a directory - this should be avoided as much as possible.

Such a URL is not worth asking for, especially for companies. So avoid it, if you can afford the domain name. The typical use of this kind of URL is for personal websites or free websites through ISPs. It is actually a way to share an independent domain name and provide users with their own address.

Perfect competition among domain name registration agencies has greatly reduced the cost of domain name registration. All this kind of domain name sharing is becoming increasingly rare, because people can register a domain name for only $15. own domain name.

Expired domain names

Another source of domain name registration is expired domain names. Once you register a domain name, you're free to use it for as long as you want, assuming there are no legal or trademark disputes, as long as you pay up (you can pay up to 10 years in advance). Some people speculate on domain names in the hope of selling them later, while others originally planned to use a domain name but did not. The result is that previously registered domain names periodically become available for registration. You can check the latest expired domain name through the website http://www.dotdnr.com. If you want to register it, the fee you need to pay is the same as registering a new domain name.

Use your domain name

After you have chosen - and registered - your domain name, be sure to use it on all your web pages and all Correspondence, such as emails and traditional letters.

It is important to let others know your domain name. Tell your partners and customers about your domain name.
