Domains Defined

One of the fundamentals you demand so as to have a web page is a domain name. This is the address your website visitors will type in their web browsers to view your online portal and it is amongst the features they will identify you with. For that reason you should select a domain name that is appropriate and descriptive, but it should also be simple to remember.

Registries - The Real Domain Name Providers

Each domain name extension, or TLD (top-level domain name), is handled by a Registry. This is the top-level institution that administers all domain name registrations and assigns the criteria for each particular top-level domain name. A number of domain Registrars operate under the Registry. These are approved firms that supply the actual domain name registration service, handle any further registration stipulations and bill the end clients.

Generic or ccTLDs?

When selecting a domain name, you should mull over its Top-Level Domain. Whether it will be a generic top-level domain name such as .com, .mobi, .biz, or a country code TLD such as .me, .se or .jp, is dependent on the target audience and on the purpose of your portal, but also on your wish, so when you are looking for a domain registration company where you can register your domain name, make certain that you settle on one with an extensive assortment of domain name extensions. Thus, you can be certain that you will make the very best selection and if you register several domain names for your family-oriented or company web page, they all will be in one single place, not scattered across various separate domain registration companies.

Registrants - The Real Domain Name Proprietors

When you register a domain name, you become the domain name Registrant, or its holder. You can designate a different person as the Administrative or Technical Contact for the domain if somebody else looks after your portal, which will permit you to attend exclusively to facets regarding the ownership or given payment questions.

Domain Name Registration Intervals: 1 to 10 Yrs

Most domain names are registered for a period of one to ten years, but certain particular top-level domain names can be registered for at least 2 years, or for no more than 5, for example. You can also transfer your domain name between various companies and once again, different top-level domain names have different criteria for that. Before you register your domain, it is worthwhile to get acquainted with what particular prerequisites there are for the specific top-level domain name that you've decided on. A pertinent example is the domain names table at our website where you can spot quite an enormous list of available domain extensions and important information in regard to the transfer and pre-registration preconditions involved, as well as the registration period for some of the more specific TLDs.

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

Always make certain to see the renewal procedure specifications before your domain name registration finishes. Some domain names cannot be renewed after they run out, and for others you have 1 month after the expiration date to register them again. The common scenario is that when a domain name expires, it is either removed after a certain time, or the domain registration company acquires proprietorship of the domain name if you, the owner, have not indicated any interest in re-registering it. For this reason you should constantly monitor the expiry date of your domain names or you will jeopardize forfeiting them. For particular Top-Level Domains such as .com or .net, you have 30 days after the expiration date, while with others, like .eu - you forfeit possession of the domain as soon as it expires and you need to wait 30 to 45 days before you can register it again.
