Domain Names
One of the most essential preconditions for having a successful Internet presence is the domain name. It is what visitors will discern first when they stumble upon your web site and what they will relate you with. The domain name should be easy to remember, but should also be something that informs your website's visitors what the web site is about.
Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)
A domain name usually is composed of two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (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 several sets of TLDs that you should consider before you select the domain name you desire. Your choice should be based on the purpose of your web page and on its target spectators. Let's examine the gTLDs, or generic TLDs - these are the most widespread TLDs meant to show a given purpose - .com (business entities), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (businesses), .info (informative resources), .org (organizations of a non-commercial character), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific), .name (individuals or families), .pro (specific professions), etc. As you can perceive, these Top-Level Domains encompass most fields of life, so you should select the one that would designate the purpose of your web site best. There is no restriction as to who can register such domain names, but some of them include additional procedures to verify that you are eligible to have 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 Domain Names, are country-specific TLDs. Each country has its own ccTLD. Getting such a domain name is good if your target group of website visitors is from a specific country. Many visitors would want to buy commodities or services from a local site, and if your target is Canada, for example, getting a .ca domain name could boost the visits to your site.
URL Redirection
You can register a bunch of domain names, which can redirect your visitors to a particular website such as domain.com, for example. This would increase the traffic and decrease the possibility of somebody stealing your website visitors by using the same Second-Level Domain with a different Top-Level Domain - if you are not utilizing a trademark.
Name Servers (NSs)
Each and every TLD has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) specify where the domain name is hosted, in other words they point to the web hosting firm whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is using at present. You can swap the name servers of your domain name whenever you want. You can have your domain registered with one provider and get the webspace hosting service itself from another. So, if you register your domain name and stumble upon decent website hosting solutions someplace else at a later time, you can point your domain name to the present provider's name servers immediately.
Domain Name Server Records (DNS Records)
In general, as long as your domain name uses a specific pair of DNSs, all its name server records will lead to the same site hosting vendor. Some website hosting vendors, however, enable you to edit specific domain name records, including the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which specifies on which web hosting server your site is hosted, whereas the MX records display which hosting server handles the email address accounts related to your domain name. For instance, if you engage a new website designer and he devises an .ASP web page that will be situated on his personal Windows server, you may desire to edit just the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. Thus, www.domain.com will direct to the Windows hosting server, but your mail address accounts or any sub-domain names like forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your present Linux web hosting account. The .ASP platform is designed by Microsoft and requires a Windows web server, although a Linux web server would be far more reliable.
