Buying Domain Names
What are domain names?
A domain name is a unique web address that identifies your website. It’s like the house number on your street or the telephone number for your home. Here at ResultAs we can buy and administer your domain name, make changes to the DNS and guide you in best practice.
Is my website domain name the same as my website URL?
Domain names (or URLs) are the addresses of websites. They’re a combination of words and numbers that end in either .com, .net, .org or other domain suffixes. For example, the popular blogging platform WordPress has a URL like this: https://wordpress-development-agency-uk.com/.
The first part of any domain name is called the Top-Level Domain (TLD). These are two-to-four letter extensions like “.com” or “.edu”. The second part can be anything you want—like WordPress’s wordpress!
Why choosing a good domain name is important.
What is a top-level domain (TLD)?
A top-level domain (TLD) is the highest level of the DNS hierarchy, and it represents a specific country or organization. For example, if you register a website at example.com, that web address ends in .com, which is considered a generic TLD.
What are the different types of TLDs and their differences?
There are two types of top-level domain (TLD) names: country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) and generic top-level domains (gTLDs).
Country code top-level domains are the letters following the dot in a web address, such as .us or .ca. These extensions are specific to each country’s Internet registry and end in their respective 2-letter codes for that nation (.co.uk for the UK, .de for Germany, etc.).
Generic top level domains exist globally and provide websites with more flexibility than ccTLDs. Examples include .com, .net and .org—the most popular generic TLDs on the market today.
The benefits of choosing a domain name
Domain names are easy to remember.
Domain names can be used to build brand recognition.
Domain names are a good way to build your online presence.
If you’re building an email list, domain names are an excellent way of doing so—namely, if you want people who visit your site (or any other page) but aren’t yet interested enough in buying from you or signing up for something that they would bother remembering your URL—which is likely why they landed on one of those pages in the first place!
Conclusion
Choosing a domain name can be challenging, but it’s an important step in creating your website. Think about what makes the most sense for your business or brand and then remember that there are lots of options out there!
