What are Domain Names

Among the elements you need so as to create a web page is a domain name. This is the URL your website visitors will write in their web browsers to explore your web site and it is one of the things they will associate you with. This is the reason why you should choose a domain name that is relevant and descriptive, but it should also be easy to recall.

Registries - The Real Domain Name Providers

Each domain name extension, or TLD (Top-Level Domain), is administered by a Registry. This is the top-level institution that handles all domain name registrations and designates the criteria for a given TLD. Various domain name Registrars act under the Registry. These are certified companies that furnish the very domain name registration service, are responsible for any additional registration stipulations and bill the end users.

Generic or Country Code Top-Level Domains?

When choosing a domain name, you should speculate upon its top-level domain name. Whether it will be a generic top-level domain name such as .com, .info, .org, or a country code TLD such as .eu, .co.uk or .co.nz, is determined by the target visitors and on the intention of your blog, but also on your choice, so when you are looking for a domain name registrar where you can register your domain name, make certain that you opt for one with a vast number of domain extensions. In this way, you can be sure that you will make the best possible choice and if you register a number of domain names for your private or company online portal, they all will be in a single location, not dispersed among lots of separate companies.

Registrants - The Real Domain Name Proprietors

When you register a domain name, you become the domain Registrant, or its owner. You can specify a different individual as the Administrative or Technical Contact for the domain if someone else tackles your web site, which will allow you to attend only to aspects regarding the ownership or particular payment matters.

Domain Name Registration Terms: 1 to 10 Yrs

Most domain names are registered for a period of one to ten years, but some particular TLDs can be registered for no less than two yrs, or for no more than five, for instance. You can also transfer your domain between various domain name registrars and again, different Top-Level Domains involve different stipulations for that. Prior to registering your domain name, it is appropriate to check what given prerequisites there are for the particular top-level domain name that you've chosen.

Redemption Grace Periods (RGP): Thirty to Forty Five Days

Always make sure to get informed about the renewal procedure details before your domain name registration expires. Particular domains cannot be registered again after they expire, and for others you have one mo. after the expiration date to register them again. The general rule is that when a domain name runs out, it is either deleted after a specific time, or the domain name registrar obtains ownership of the domain name if you, the proprietor, have not shown any intention of renewing it. For that reason you should always observe the expiry date of your domain names or you will risk forfeiting them. For specific TLDs such as .com or .net, you have 30 days after the expiration date, whereas with others, like .eu - you lose ownership of the domain name as soon as it runs out and you must wait 30 to 45 days before you can re-register it.
