How vital can an top domain be?

One of the most essential requirements for running a successful Internet presence is the domain. It is what visitors will discern first when they chance upon your web page and what they will associate you with. The domain name should be easy to memorize, but should also be something that tells your site's visitors what the website is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain typically has 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain Name and "domain" is the SLD. There are several categories of TLDs that you should contemplate prior to choosing the domain name you desire. Your choice should rest on the purpose of your web site and on its target viewers. Let's take a glance at the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domain Names - these are the most common Top-Level Domains intended to denote a particular function - .com (commercial entities), .net (networks), .biz (businesses), .info (informational sites), .org (organizations of a non-commercial character), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia-Pacific region), .name (individuals or families), .pro (given professions), and so on. As you can perceive, these TLDs cover most realms of life, so you should choose the one that would describe the objective of your site best. There is no limitation as to who can register such domain names, but some of them include extra steps to verify that you qualify to register such a domain (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

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

Domain Forwarding

You can register different domain names, which can forward your visitors to a certain web page like domain.com, for example. This would increase the traffic and decrease the risk of somebody pinching your web site visitors by registering the same Second-Level Domain with another TLD - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Each and every domain name has domain records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) display where the domain name is hosted, i.e. they point to the web hosting provider whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is utilizing at present. You can modify the DNSs of your domain at any time. You can have your domain registered with one firm and get the web page hosting service itself from another. Hence, if you register your domain name and stumble upon decent website hosting services someplace else afterwards, you can point your domain name to the current company's NSs at once.

Name Server Records (DNS Records)

In general, as long as your domain utilizes a certain set of DNSs, all its records will point to the same web hosting supplier. Some hosting companies, though, enable you to edit specific records, like the A records and the MX records of your domain. The A record is an IP address, which details on which hosting server your web page is located, whereas the MX records exhibit which web hosting server tackles the mail address accounts related to your domain name. For example, if you appoint a new website designer and he develops an .ASP web site that will be accommodated on his private Windows server, you may want to alter just the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. In this way, www.domain.com will direct to the Windows web hosting server, but your electronic mails or any sub-domains such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux web space hosting account. The .ASP environment is created by Microsoft and calls for a Windows server, although a Linux server would be way more dependable.
