How valuable is to discover the best domain name?

One of the most important requirements for building a successful online presence is the domain name. It is what visitors will spot first when they visit your site and what they will relate you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that tells your website's visitors what the site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain traditionally contains two fragments - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD. There are a couple of sets of TLDs that you should consider prior to picking the domain name you desire. Your choice should rest on the intention of your website and on its target viewers. Let's take a look at the gTLDs, or generic TLDs - these are the most popular Top-Level Domains meant to designate a given intention - .com (commercial enterprises), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (companies), .info (informational websites), .org (non-profit organizations), .mobi (mobile devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific), .name (persons or families), .pro (qualified professionals), and so on. As you can perceive, these TLDs cover most realms of life, so you should choose the one that would express the objective of your website best. There is no limitation as to who can register such domain names, but some of them involve additional requirements to ascertain that you qualify to have such a Top-Level Domain (.mobi and .pro, for example).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domain Names, are country-specific TLDs. Each country has its own ccTLD. Selecting such a Top-Level Domain is good if your target group of web site visitors is from a given country. Many people would elect to buy commodities or services from a local site, and if your aim is Canada, for instance, picking a .ca domain could boost the visits to your web site.

Domain Name Redirection

You can register several domain names, which can forward your web site's visitors to a particular site like domain.com, for example. This would increase the traffic and lower the chance of somebody swiping your site visitors by using the same Second-Level Domain Name with a different Top-Level Domain Name - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Each TLD has domain records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) specify where the domain is hosted, i.e. they point to the hosting company whose name servers (NSs, a.k.a. DNSs) it is using now. You can change the name servers of your domain name at any time. You can have your domain registered with one provider and get the website hosting service itself from another. Therefore, if you register your domain name and discover good website hosting packages someplace else later, you can point your domain to the present company's name servers right away.

Name Server Records (DNS Records)

In general, as long as your domain name utilizes a specific set of NSs, all its name server records will lead to the same hosting firm. Some web site hosting firms, however, allow you to edit specific domain 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 web hosting server your site is hosted, whereas the MX records reveal which web server handles the email box accounts associated with your domain name. For example, if you hire a new web page designer and he creates an .ASP web site that will be hosted on his own Windows hosting server, you may desire to edit only the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. Hence, www.domain.com will direct to the Windows web hosting server, but your email mailboxes or any sub-domains such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux web site hosting account. The .ASP environment is built by Microsoft and calls for a Windows web server, even though a Linux web hosting server would be far more dependable.
