What is Domain ?
A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com.
Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:
# gov - Government agencies
# edu - Educational institutions
# org - Organizations (nonprofit)
# mil - Military
# com - commercial business
# net - Network organizations
# ca - Canada
# th - Thailand
The domain names represents your website (i.e. google.com, msn.com, shahcommunication.com etc.) and some also shows the topic of website, it also provides connectivity with ur web hosting. It must be unique and no one have the same domain for their website if you already have but he can have the alternative (i.e. google.net, msn.net, google.org, msn.com.pk etc.). So to have a domain name you should have to contact Domain Name Registration Company to register your desired domain name, but first you also have to know kinds of Domain Names Registration.
Types of Domain Names:
We can distribute Domain Name in two types which are as follows:
- INTERNIC Domain Names / TLDs
- Country Domain Names / SLDs
INTERNIC Domain Names:
These are used for international purpose, like you have an online store or information website which is for international and local visitors then you have to get INTERNIC Domain Name Registration. One thing which is very important to know is the INTERNIC Domain Names are mostly quite cheap as compare to other types of domain names but some Internic Domain Names are also very expensive (i.e. .edu) and also need lots of documents and approvals before registration.
In easy words you can say - TLD stands for Top Level Domain. This includes any domain names which suffix is .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, .info
Country Domain Names:
These kinds of domain represent the website topic for any specific region or country, it doesn’t mean that these website will not be display in other countries. The websites which having the country domain names just represent the subject and relation of website, In Pakistan PKNIC is the main registrar of Pakistani Domain Name, but it’s hard to get registration from them, they takes almost 7 to 10 days in process as well as they only have their office in Lahore with no address and telephone numbers, so you have to find a right Domain Registration company who can help you in registration of these kind of domains.
In easy words you can say - SLD stands for Second Level Domain. This includes any domain names which suffix is .co.in, .com.pl, .com.cn, .co.uk, .org.tw and .co.at
In last I would like to inform you that don’t buy domain name before consultation about your need and requirements of your website because most of the companies providing web hosting and domain registration service together and also offers free domain name with hosting.
One more important thing is that when you buy web hosting from the company who is offering you free domain registration, then first ask that who will have the authority of domain name after registration. Because such most companies do not give you authority and details if you need to transfer you domain name to other registrar.
Before consultation you should check domain availability by yourself, here is a free resource for this purpose, you can check number of domain TLDs as per your requirement.
Further you also have to understand about hosting so, if you don’t have information about hosting then first read about it and understand what is hosting as it is important to get your website online and we would like to tell you if you need any kind of assistance about domain registration or web site hosting then just write to us, we will explain about each and every thing with best proposal according to your need.
