Title: Dot Online (.online): A Most Appropriate Alternative To Dot Com (.com)

Dot Online (.online) A Most Appropriate
Alternative To Dot Com (.com)
  • Some decades ago, a team of the United States
    military thought of connecting military centers
    together. They pursed the dream and made it a
    reality. As time passed by, the potential of this
    connection revealed itself, and the connection
    began expand. It evolved and improved from a
    small network of computing device, to a
    network-of-networks of computing devices. Today,
    the internet is used by billions of humans across
    the world. In the world we are today, the human
    race can hardly exist without the internet. It is
    ingrained in our every day lives and has
    contributed greatly to our advancement in the
    past few decades.

The Web (World Wide Web)
  • Without the impressive leverages of the internet,
    the internet would not have made as much impact
    as it has on humanity. The internet has many
    applications, of which the most important is the
    world wide web (web). The web is a system that
    allows indiscriminate and unending sharing of
    information across the world. All you need is to
    find a host, put your information on the host,
    and make the info available to any
    internet-connected user in the world. That is
    simply an overview of the web.

The Web From A User View
  • From the view of an average web user, the way the
    web works is quite different from the way a tech
    guy understands it. To an average user, all you
    have to do is to open up a web browser, type in a
    URL and the browser will load a page. How does it
    happen? The kind of answer you will get is I do
    not know how it works, all I know is that I enter
    a URL, and something gets displayed. Well, their
    view of the web is not wrong, it is just
    incomplete.

The Web From A Technical View
  • A tech guy knows more about how the web works.
    When you enter a URL into a web browser, the URL
    has 2 or 3 parts, namely the domain name, the
    path (the optional part), and the resource name
    (e.g. web page file, audio file, image file,
    etc.). Our concern lies on the domain name. The
    function of the domain name can not be well
    appreciated until you know what it feels like to
    use the internet without it.
  • Let us take a little technical look at the
    internet. The internet is made of computing
    device, computers, smart phones, printers, etc.
    For a computing device to be a functional member
    of the internet, it is important that it has a
    unique identity known as IP address. An IP
    address is a string of numbers often separated
    with dots (.), e.g. 127.0.0.1. Each computer on
    the internet has a unique number in this format.
    Furthermore, the practical way the web works is
    that, we provide the IP address of a computer
    where a browser should fetch a resource. We also
    specify a path to the resource (if the resource
    is not on the computer's root directory), as well
    as the resource name.
  • Now imagine a world where you are required to
    enter an IP address for you to access a website.
    For instance, instead of typing google.com, you
    are required to type something like
    231.66.126.76, instead of typing facebook.com,
    you are required to type something like
    198.250.89.100, etc. I am so sure of the fact
    that you will not find using the internet an easy
    task. To avoid this stress, the domain name
    system was invented. The domain name system is a
    system that makes possible the use of domain
    names instead of IP addresses. When you enter a
    domain name, the web browser maps the domain name
    to an IP address, then uses the IP address. In
    that way, you do not have to deal with strings of
    numbers.

Dot Online (.online) As A Most Appropriate
Alternative To Dot Com (.com)
  • When the domain name system was created, the dot
    com extension (.com) was the leading extension.
    It gained so much acceptability that everyone
    buying a new domain name chooses the dot com
    extension. It came to a point where buyers of new
    domains started having problem with buying domain
    names, as appropriate domains are already in use
    by some other people. In short, you see things
    like organisation buying domain names at very
    expensive prices, by contacting the owner of a
    domain name who asks for such very large amount
    of money.
  • Over the years, concern have been raised on this
    issue. Sadly, no solution has been so effective.
    New extensions have been created in hope that new
    buyers will seek after them, rather than go after
    the traditional dot com. This as well did not
    work. However, the relatively recent creation of
    the dot online extension seems to be a solution.
    This extension is a very good alternative to dot
    come. The extension is generic, intuitive and
    easy to acquire. What else is stopping a drift
    from the popular dot com, to dot online. All I
    think is needed is the publicity of dot online.
    The new dot online extension has to be publicised
    and made known to the world.
