What are Domain Names

A domain can make or break a web site. Get it right and everyone will memorize it for good, get it wrong and they will never memorize the name of your web site. Therefore, you should choose a domain name that bears direct relevance to the content of your web site, your personal name or your company's name. For instance, the website of Sequerah – a well-known ICANN-recognized domain registrar and shared hosting company, is http://sequerah.com. This domain is immediately associated with the name of the company and with web hosting solutions in general, rendering it easy for the company's business partners and customers to find it on the web.

Over fifty top-level domain name extensions to pick from

But don't forget that your personal or corporate domain names do not necessarily need to end with .com, where choices are limited. Actually, there is a practically unrestricted set of domain extensions to choose from, among them .MOBI – for websites intended for mobile device use, .TV – for media web sites, .NAME and .ME – for personal web sites, .CO, .NU and .WS – thought of as .COM analogs, and virtually any country-specific domain that crosses your mind. A United Kingdom-based website might enjoy higher popularity if it employs a .CO.UK Top-Level Domain extension. On the other hand, if your business is in Canada or the United States, .CA or .US might be a more suitable option.
