Domain Names Explained

A domain can make or break a website. Get it right and people will memorize it forever, get it wrong and they will never memorize your website's name. Hence, you should select a domain name that is directly related to your web site's content, your own personal name or the name of your company. For example, the website of Resellers Panel – a popular ICANN-authorized domain registrar and hosting company, is http://resellerspanel.info. This domain name is instantly associated with the company's name and with web hosting solutions in general, making it easy for the company's business associates and clients to find it on the web.

More than fifty Top-Level Domain extensions to choose from

But bear in mind that your private or corporate domain names do not necessarily have to end with .com, where choices are restricted. In fact, there is a practically unlimited set of domain extensions to select from, among them .MOBI – for web sites intended for mobile device use, .TV – for television or video-related websites, .NAME and .ME – for personal sites, .CO, .NU and .WS – regarded as .COM equivalents, and almost any country-specific top-level domain name you can think of. 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 sensible option.
