What is a Domain Name?
To have a website, you need a Domain Name. A domain name is your online identity. It is unique to you as no two parties can have the same domain name. But what exactly is Domain Name!?
The first step in building a website is to register a Domain Name. These are regulated and maintained by name registrars, which ensure that a Registered Domain Name cannot be used by another person. We act as a third party for Domain Regsitrations like a hosting service.
Domain Names are easily readable by people, but for internet to understand them, they are linked to binary IP addresses through special servers called domain name servers (DNS).
Important Factors while picking a Domain Name?
- It should be Unique
- Don't just on a Domain Name. Give a thought. Brainstorm!!!
- It can be easily typed.
- Imagine it as a BRAND
- Keep it Short and Simple
- Avoid Trademark Clashes
- No Hyphens or Numbers must be used
Now that you have finalised on your Domain Name, next step is to pick a TLD (Top Level Domain). eq. .com, .in, .co.in, .org
- .com : Always the 1st preference. If your desired Domain Name is available in .com, you may have hit a jackpot. It is tough in current time to find a Domain Name of your choice.
- .co.in OR .in : It is close to hitting a Jackpot, if your website or brand is focussing on Indian Web Market. In fact, in most cases, it is suggested to go for .in Domain if your Website is totally desi.
- .org : Not suggested or recommended for Commercial Website or Business Websites. These are used primarily by Non-Profit Organizations or other Associations.
- .edu.in OR .ac.in : For Educational and Academin Institutes. These cannot be directly registered through a normal Registrar online. They require detailed verification through ERNET India. We provide our assistance in booking of .edu.in OR .ac.in Domains.
- and Many More... : Now there are huge number of TLDs available for specific purposes. But still they do not have that impact as those listed above.
