How important can an top domain name be?

One of the most essential requirements for running a successful web presence is the domain. It is what people will notice first when they stumble upon your web page and what they will identify you with. The domain name should be easy to remember, but should also be something that informs your website's visitors what the site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)

A domain typically is composed of two fragments - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD. There are a couple of categories of Top-Level Domain Names that you should contemplate prior to selecting the domain name you wish. Your selection should depend on the intention of your website and on its target spectators. Let's review the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domains - these are the most typical TLDs meant to indicate a given intention - .com (business organizations), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (businesses), .info (informational web sites), .org (not-for-profit organizations), .mobi (mobile devices), .asia (the Asia-Pacific region), .name (persons or families), .pro (qualified professionals), and so on. As you can see, these Top-Level Domain Names encompass most realms of life, so you should select 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 include extra requirements to verify that you are eligible to keep such a domain name (.mobi and .pro, for example).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code TLDs, are country-specific Top-Level Domains. Each country has its own ccTLD. Registering such a Top-Level Domain is good if your target group of web site visitors is from a given country. Many individuals would want to buy goods or services from a local site, and if your aim is Canada, for example, selecting a .ca TLD could boost the visits to your website.

Domain Redirects

You can register a number of Top-Level Domains, which can send your website's visitors to a specific site such as domain.com, for instance. This would increase the traffic and lower the risk of someone swiping your visitors by registering the same SLD with another Top-Level Domain Name - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Each Top-Level Domain has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, aka DNS records) demonstrate where the domain name is hosted, i.e. they point to the web hosting supplier whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is utilizing at the moment. You can replace the DNSs of your domain whenever you want. You can have your domain name registered with one company and get the web site hosting service itself from another. Therefore, if you register your domain name and find decent website hosting solutions someplace else at a later time, you can point your domain name to the current provider's DNSs right away.

Domain Name Server Records (DNS Records)

On the whole, as long as your domain uses a certain set of name servers, all its DNS records will point to the same website hosting distributor. Some website hosting distributors, however, enable you to edit given records, such as the A records and the MX records of your domain. The A record is an IP address, which designates on which web hosting server your website is hosted, while the MX records reveal which server tackles the e-mail box accounts associated with your domain name. For example, if you hire a new web site designer and he constructs an .ASP website that will be accommodated on his private Windows server, you may desire to modify solely the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain name. Hence, www.domain.com will direct 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 current Linux hosting account. The .ASP platform is developed by Microsoft and requests a Windows web server, although a Linux server would be way more secure.
