Domain Registration

Domain names are the unique names of websites.

Domain registration should be included in the host solution.

Domain names should be easy to remember and easy to write.

What is a domain name?

Domain names are the unique names of websites, such as microsoft.com and codew3c.com.

Domain names need to be registered. Once a domain name is registered, it will be added to a large domain registrar along with information related to your website - including the IP information stored in the DNS server.

DNS refers to the Domain Name System. DNS servers are responsible for notifying other computers on the internet about your domain name and address information.

Register a domain name

You can register a domain name through a domain registration company, such as www.net.cn

These companies all provide interfaces for querying available domain names and offer domain suffixes that can be registered simultaneously.

Domain registration authorities can provide registration for various domain suffixes, but the easiest to remember are .com and .net, most popular domain names with these suffixes have already been registered.

Choose your domain name

Choosing a domain name is an important step for any individual or organization.

While a large number of domain names are registered, new domain suffixes and creative ideas can still provide thousands of great choices. When choosing a domain name, it is important to consider the purpose of the domain name, which will make it easier for people to find your website. Excellent domain names have the following characteristics:

Short People do not like to type! The shorter the domain name, the easier it is to visit, and the lower the possibility of input errors by users.

Meaningful Short domain names without meaning are not necessarily good. 34i4nh69.com is only 8 characters long, but it is neither easy to input nor remember. So, please choose a domain name that is related to your website and easy to understand.

Clarity Clarity is also important when choosing a domain name. Avoid choosing domains that are difficult to spell or pronounce. Also, pay attention to whether the domain name sounds pleasant and whether it can be communicated quickly over the phone.

Exposure rate Like high-end real estate projects, which can obtain very high exposure, short and easy-to-remember domain names are also an asset. In addition to visitors using your domain name, you should also consider search engines. Search engines index and rate your website based on the relevance of online search projects. To maximize the exposure of your website, you can include relevant search terms in the domain name. Of course, the premise is still that the domain name you choose should be short, clear, and meaningful.

Subdomain

Most people are not aware of it, but they are using subdomains every day. The most common 'www' is actually a typical subdomain. Subdomains can be found in DNS

It is created on the server and does not require registration through a domain registration authority. Of course, you still need to register the original domain before creating a subdomain. There are many examples of subdomains on the internet: such as store.apple.com and support.microsoft.com.

You can request your website hosting provider to create a subdomain, or you can create one by managing your DNS server.

False domain - Directory list

Some providers may offer you a unique name under their domain: www.theircompany.com/yourcompany/

This is not a real domain, but a directory - such situations should be avoided as much as possible.

Such URLs are not worth having, especially for companies. So it is better to avoid using them if you can afford the domain fees. The typical use of such URLs is through ISPs for personal websites or free websites, which is actually a way to share an independent domain, providing users with their own address.

Comprehensive competition among domain registration agencies has greatly reduced the registration fees for domains, and the way of sharing such domains has become less and less common, because people can register their own domains for as little as 15 US dollars.

Expired Domains

Another source of domain registration is expired domains. After you register a domain, assuming there are no legal or trademark disputes, you can freely use it for any length of time as long as you pay the fee (you can prepay for 10 years). Some people speculate on domains, hoping to sell them in the future, while others planned to use a certain domain but did not do so. As a result, previously registered domains become available for registration periodically. You can check the recent expired domains through the website http://www.dotdnr.com, and if you want to register, the cost is the same as registering a new domain.

Use Your Domain

After you have chosen and registered your own domain, be sure to use it on all your web pages and all your correspondence, such as emails and traditional letters.

It is important to let others know about your domain, so tell your partners and customers about your domain.
