How important is to locate the best domain name?

One of the most vital requirements for creating a successful Internet presence is the domain name. It is what people will perceive first when they visit your site and what they will identify you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that notifies your visitors what the site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)

A domain name traditionally contains two parts - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain Name (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain Name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain Name. There are a few sets of TLDs that you should examine prior to picking the domain name you want. Your selection should be based on the goal of your web page and on its target audience. Let's have a glimpse at the gTLDs, or generic TLDs - these are the most typical TLDs meant to show a given intention - .com (commercial entities), .net (networks), .biz (companies), .info (informative web sites), .org (organizations), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific), .name (individuals or families), .pro (certain walks of life), etc. As you can perceive, these Top-Level Domain Names cover most spheres of life, so you should pick the one that would denote the purpose of your web page best. There is no restriction as to who can register such Top-Level Domain Names, but some of them involve additional procedures to demonstrate that you are eligible to keep such a Top-Level Domain Name (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domains, are country-specific Top-Level Domain Names. Each country has its own ccTLD. Opting for such a Top-Level Domain is good if your target group of web page visitors is from a specific country. Many persons would like to buy commodities or services from a local site, and if your goal is Canada, for example, choosing a .ca domain could boost the visits to your web page.

URL Redirection

You can register a number of domain names, which can redirect your site's visitors to a specific web page like domain.com, for example. This would boost the traffic and decrease the probability of somebody pilfering your web site visitors by using the same Second-Level Domain with a different TLD - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Each and every Top-Level Domain has domain records. The name server records (NS records, aka DNS records) disclose where the domain is hosted, i.e. they point to the web hosting firm whose name servers (NSs, also known as DNSs) it is using now. You can replace the NSs of your domain name whenever you like. You can have your domain registered with one firm and get the hosting service itself from another. Therefore, if you register your domain and detect decent website hosting plans somewhere else afterwards, you can point your domain to the current provider's DNSs right away.

Domain Name Server Records (NS Records)

On the whole, as long as your domain name uses a specific set of NSs, all its NS records will lead to the same webspace hosting firm. Some site hosting firms, however, enable you to modify given DNS records, among them the A records and the MX records of your domain. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which indicates on which web server your web site is located, whereas the MX records indicate which web hosting server handles the email accounts related to your domain name. For example, if you engage a new site designer and he designs an .ASP web page that will be situated on his personal Windows server, you may wish to alter solely the Internet Protocol address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain name. Hence, www.domain.com will point to the Windows web server, but your e-mail address accounts or any sub-domain names such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your present Linux hosting account. The .ASP environment is built by Microsoft and calls for a Windows server, although a Linux web hosting server would be far more reliable.
