Way to Find the Best Domain Name

How to Find the Perfect Domain Name
2
What is a Domain Name?

• To visit your website, people enter the domain
  name in the address bar of their browser.
• Think of your domain name as the address of your
  website.
• Heres more information
• There is a global network of cables that connects
  the Internet to one another. Using this network,
  computers are connected to one another and can
  communicate with each other.
• The IP addresses of each computer are used to
  identify them. A unique computer identification
  number identifies an online computer. It may look
  something like this
• 63.289.36.3
• It is not easy to remember an IP address like
  this. Could you imagine visiting your favorite
  websites using such a number every day?
• This problem was solved by creating domain names.
• You no longer have to enter long numbers into a
  web browser in order to visit a website.
• In your browsers address bar, you can type in a
  domain name that is easy to remember. For
  example, shrushti.com.

What is the best way to buy a Domain Name
permanently

• One of the many domain name registrars allows you
  to buy domain names. The average cost is 14.99
  per year. Domain names are available from these
  companies
• Godaddy
• Bigrock
• Namecheap
• Google
• Hotsgator
• You do not automatically receive hosting service
  when you buy a domain. A hosting account/website
  is also required for that.
• Domain registration is also offered by many
  WordPress hosting companies. You will have access
  to both services from a single account, plus your
  domain name server settings will not need to be
  changed.
• If your registrar still exists, you can maintain
  the lease on the domain name while you cannot buy
  it. Obviously, the first step in securing your
  domain name is to make the initial payment.
  Youll need to remember when you registered,
  because registration typically lasts a year.
  Check your registrars website before the end of
  the year to see if you can renew your lease.
• The domain lease can be preemptively extended in
  this way. It is possible to simplify the process
  in other ways as well. Typically, you can
  auto-renew with most registrars, so you must
  remain vigilant even when you choose the
  auto-renewal option. Registration holders
  frequently change their credit cards, thus
  forgetting to update their payment details on
  their lease, resulting in their domain being lost.

Domain vs. domain name What's the Difference?

• Two people can mean the same thing if they use
  the same jargon. We need to distinguish between
  the domain name and extension, however.
• A domain name is what people are talking about
  when they say they wish to register it.
• In contrast, when someone speaks of choosing a
  domain, they mean choosing from a variety of
  options such as .COM, .NET, etc.
• The context of the current conversation is the
  most important component, if it cannot be
  explicitly perceived.

Domains can be categorized into five types

• Well dive into the types of domain names that
  you can register now that weve helped you
  understand what domain names are and how they
  work.
• The most common extension in terms of thought
  when it comes to a website is .com. However,
  you can choose from several kinds of extensions.
• You can choose from five types of domains. You
  wont be able to access some domains without
  having a specific type of website, as we will
  explain below.

1. TLDs AKA Top level Domains
2. Top Level Domains based on country codes

• Top-level domains sit atop the tree of domain
  names. Those are generally called TLDs. These
  domain names range over a thousand different
  options.
• Companies and individuals have been able to pitch
  and register new TLDs since ICANN opened up
  registration in recent years. That resulted in a
  dramatic increase in the number of available
  TLDs.
• Youll want to choose one thats in your country.
  If you choose the top-level domain for your
  domain, make sure that it complements, enhances,
  and corresponds to your brand. There is no reason
  to register a TLD just because it is available.
  TLDs are often used as decorative extensions
  rather than as a foundation for websites.

• ccTLDs follow next on our list. These are
  country-specific domains. It doesnt necessarily
  matter if you live in one of those countries that
  have ccTLDs because you dont have to use one.
• Using these extensions can help your visitors
  know that theyve come to the right place if you
  build a website in a particular country. The
  .us extension is a good option for websites
  based in the United States, while the .jp
  extension is for companies in Japan.

3. GTLDs (General Top-Level Domains)
4. Domains at the 2nd level

• An actual type of domain is not specified here,
  but rather a definition. Its just an alternative
  TLD to the one that is mentioned above. This type
  of domain could also be classified as a TLD.
• These generic domains are intended to be used for
  various types of purposes.
• Consider the following example. Educational
  institutions can use the .edu extension, while
  military organizations can use the .mil
  extension, and non-profit organizations can use
  the .org extension.
• Some gTLDs, like .mil and .edu, cant be
  registered if you dont meet the requirements.
• You can check out the full list of available
  gTLDs here.

• In terms of hierarchy, second-level domains lie
  below the top-level domains outlined above.
  Nevertheless, they are just as valuable and
  authoritative.
• Moreover, second-level domains can be based on
  country codes, such as the following
• .co.uk This is the most common domain in the
  United Kingdom.
• .gov.uk This is the domain used by the British
  government.
• .gov.au Used by all Australian government
  agencies.

What are the best ways to choose a domain name?
1. Use an easy-to-type web address
2. Keeping it brief
3. Include keywords

• To be successful online, the address must be
  simple to type. In this situation, you would use
  slang (mi instead of me) or ambiguous words
  (because vs cus), making it difficult for your
  customers to locate your site.

• Long and complicated domain names are more likely
  to be mistyped or misspelled by customers. Make
  your domain names short and simple.

• Your business and your services should be
  described with keywords. In this case, if you run
  an eye clinic and spectacles business, consider
  registering with eyewear.com or eyeclinic.com.
• Put your products and services keywords in your
  description.
• Increasing your search engine ranking (which
  leads to more traffic) and just making your
  website easier to understand for your customers
  is important.

4. Identify your market
5. Remove hyphens and numbers
6. Make an impression
7. Do your homework

• Its easy for people to misunderstand the
  hyphenations and numbers when they hear the
  address of your website they may not comprehend
  whether it is written as (6) or as a text six or
  -6, or they may mistake or forget the dash. Make
  sure you register these different variations if
  you need them in your domain.

• Your domain name can be easily remembered and
  found if it contains your city or state for
  businesses that serve local customers. Example
  mumbaieyeclinic.com.

• You must make sure the domain name you choose
  doesnt violate trademarks, copyrights, or other
  companies rights. Your domain and finances could
  be at risk because of a legal mishap!
• Make sure you do your homework on the domain you
  are considering.

• An intriguing and memorable domain name is vital
  for a domain thats one of the millions
  registered. Make sure the name sounds appealing
  and makes sense to your close friends once you
  have chosen it.

8. Select an extension that complements your
website

• An extension is an added suffix to the end of a
  URL, such as .net or .in. Choosing the right one
  for your business is important, as they can have
  specific uses.
• In addition to the .app, .photography and .nyc
  extensions, there are a wide range of general
  top-level domains that can be registered for
  short and highly relevant domain names. In
  addition to these top extensions, here are some
  other common uses
• .co stands for companies, business, and
  community.
• .info sites that provide information.
• .net sites that are technical and related to
  the Internet.
• .org nonprofits and nonprofit organizations.
• .biz sites related to business, such as online
  stores.
• .me personal websites, blogs, or resumes.

9. Ensure your brand is protected and built
10. Take action immediately

• Think about purchasing different domain
  extensions for your brand, as well as spelled
  incorrectly versions of it. By registering your
  domain name, you prevent your competitors from
  using the same name and make sure people can find
  your website, even if they misspell it.

• There is a high demand for domain names.
  Fortunately, most domains come at an affordable
  price, which is why you should register your
  desired names immediately. In the event that you
  have trouble finding a suitable domain name, some
  registrars, such as GoDaddy, will provide
  alternatives during the search process to find
  your domain name.

Final few words

• Domains can be categorized by type, extension,
  and structure. The above-mentioned are the steps
  for selecting a domain and registering it. As for
  transferring a domain to a different registrar,
  make sure you meet the requirements to do so.
• Register your own domain based on all of this
  knowledge!
