How vital can an affordable domain be?

One of the most important requirements for running a successful Internet presence is the domain name. It is what visitors will see first when they chance upon your web site and what they will relate you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that notifies your site's visitors what the site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain typically consists of 2 components - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain Name (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain Name. There are a few categories of TLDs that you should contemplate prior to choosing the domain you desire. Your decision should be built upon the intention of your web page and on its target audience. Let's review the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domains - these are the most widespread Top-Level Domains aimed to show a particular intention - .com (commercial organizations), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (firms), .info (informational web pages), .org (non-profit organizations), .mobi (mobile devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific region), .name (individuals or relatives), .pro (given walks of life), and so on. As you can see, these Top-Level Domain Names cover most realms of life, so you should opt for the one that would show the intention of your site best. There is no restriction as to who can register such domains, but some of them contain additional requirements to demonstrate that you are eligible to have such a TLD (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code TLDs, are country-specific domain names. Each country has its own ccTLD. Settling on such a domain is good if your target group of web site visitors is from a given country. Many persons would elect to buy commodities or services from a local web page, and if your target is Canada, for instance, picking a .ca Top-Level Domain Name could increase the visits to your website.

URL Redirection

You can register different domain names, which can forward your website's visitors to a specific web site like domain.com, for instance. This would boost the traffic and decrease the likelihood of someone pilfering your visitors by using the same SLD with another Top-Level Domain Name - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Each domain name has domain records. The name server records (NS records, aka DNS records) show where the domain name is hosted, in other words they point to the hosting provider whose name servers (NSs, a.k.a. DNSs) it is using at present. You can substitute the name servers of your domain name at any moment. You can have your domain name registered with one firm and get the web hosting service itself from another. Therefore, if you register your domain name and come across good website hosting packages somewhere else afterwards, you can point your domain name to the present company's name servers right away.

Domain Name Server Records (DNS Records)

In general, as long as your domain name uses a specific pair of NSs, all its records will lead to the same web hosting distributor. Some webspace hosting suppliers, however, allow you to edit given NS records, like the A records and the MX records of your domain. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which discloses on which server your site is hosted, while the MX records indicate which web server tackles the e-mail address accounts associated with your domain name. For example, if you take on a new web site designer and he creates an .ASP web site that will be hosted on his personal Windows web hosting server, you may wish to change solely the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. In this way, www.domain.com will point to the Windows server, but your email address accounts or any sub-domains such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your present Linux webspace hosting account. The .ASP environment is built by Microsoft and necessitates a Windows hosting server, although a Linux server would be far more stable.
