How crucial can an affordable domain name be?

One of the most important prerequisites for building a successful online presence is the domain. It is what people will see first when they stumble upon your web site and what they will link you with. The domain should be easy to memorize, but should also be something that notifies your website's visitors what the site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain usually is composed of 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD. There are a few categories of Top-Level Domain Names that you should consider before you pick the domain name you wish. Your decision should be based on the aim of your site and on its target spectators. Let's take a peek at the gTLDs, or generic TLDs - these are the most popular TLDs intended to denote a particular intention - .com (commercial enterprises), .net (networks), .biz (firms), .info (informative websites), .org (not-for-profit organizations), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific), .name (persons or families), .pro (certain professions), etc. As you can perceive, these Top-Level Domains cover most spheres of life, so you should choose the one that would show the intention of your web site best. There is no limitation as to who can register such domain names, but some of them include additional steps to verify that you qualify to keep such a Top-Level Domain Name (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domains, are country-specific domain names. Each country has its own ccTLD. Settling on such a domain name is good if your target group of site visitors is from a certain country. Many visitors would rather purchase commodities or services from a local web page, and if your goal is Canada, for instance, settling on a .ca TLD could increase the visits to your web site.

URL Redirection

You can register different Top-Level Domain Names, which can send your site's visitors to a certain site like domain.com, for instance. This would raise the traffic and lower the possibility of somebody snatching your web page visitors by using the same SLD with a different Top-Level Domain Name - if you are not utilizing a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Every Top-Level Domain Name has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) reveal where the domain is hosted, in other words they point to the hosting provider whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is utilizing at the moment. You can modify the name servers of your domain at all times. You can have your domain registered with one provider and get the website hosting service itself from another. So, if you register your domain and stumble upon decent website hosting services someplace else later, you can point your domain to the current company's DNSs straight off.

Domain Name Server Records (NS Records)

On the whole, as long as your domain uses a given pair of name servers, all its records will direct to the same website hosting firm. Some web page hosting vendors, though, enable you to edit specific name server records, like the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which demonstrates on which server your site is located, while the MX records designate which hosting server tackles the e-mail address accounts associated with your domain name. For instance, if you take on a new web page designer and he build an .ASP web page that will be hosted on his private Windows web server, you may want to change only the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. Thus, www.domain.com will point to the Windows hosting server, but your email box accounts or any sub-domains like forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux web space hosting account. The .ASP platform is invented by Microsoft and calls for a Windows web hosting server, even though a Linux server would be far more reliable.
