Registering Effective Domain Name
by Eka Man
If you are thinking about
building a website, registering domain name is an important step. Registering an
effective domain name is just as important as choosing a company name. It can
also communicate to your customers the type of products or service you sell
online. An easy and understanding to remember domain name is the goal of every
site owner. So I have some tips to registering the best domain name.
Please bear in mind that domain name is very important and more important than
web hosting
First, What is Domain Name?
The name of website. A unique name that represents each computer on the Internet
world. The DNS (Domain Name Server ) converts the domain name to an IP (
Internet Protocol ) that is similar to the telaphone number. Because it is hard
to remember IP adress, the DNS make it easier by using letters instread of
typing 123.45.67.890. So, you can type www.yourdomainname.com that makes more
convinent.
* Domain name has to contain a mininum of 2 characters but no more than 67
characters. The shorter is the better
* Domain name is not case sensitive, so www.yourdomainname.com is not different
from WWW.YOURDOMAINNAME.COM . But using capitalised text is quiet unpolite.
* Domain name contains letters, numbers, hyphens but no space. However, you
cannot use hyphens as the first or last characters of your domain name.
Type of Domain names.
* Paid Domane Name like www.yourdoname.com or www.yourdomame.biz etc. The
advantage is that you own the domain name, but you have to pay for it. * Free
Domain Name like www.freedoname.co.nr or www.freedomain.cjb.net . These are free
but you do not own the domain name. Also, there may be advertiments and many
terms of service.
* Domain Name from free host such as www.geocity.com/yourdomain or http://yourdomain.companyname.com
that is very hard to remember.Also, 90% of them have the advertiment (Banner or
Pop up).
How to Registering Domain Name.
Before registering domain name, you have to check the Domain Name Avaliability
at www.whois.com . When you have the domain name you want, go to a domain name
registering company or web hosting company. And register it .
After that, you have to make Domain name and web hosting know each other by
setting Name server and DNS of web hosting at your domain name.
For example, this is the name server of hypermart.net
Primary server :ns1.hypermart.net IP = 206.253.222.65
Secondary server :ns2.hypermart.net IP = 206.253.222.66
Finish.
Importantly, choosing a good company to register domain name by.....
* Do you retain sole ownership of domain name ?
* Does the domain name registering company allow you to tranfer the domain to
another company?
* Is there an online control panel for domain name administration?
* Is it easy to change the domain name server (DNS) ? In case that you change
the web hosting company.
