How important can an affordable domain be?

One of the most important requirements for establishing a successful web presence is the domain. It is what visitors will observe first when they visit your web page and what they will relate you with. The domain should be easy to memorize, but should also be something that notifies your website's visitors what the website is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain typically consists of 2 fragments - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD. There are several groups of Top-Level Domain Names that you should contemplate prior to picking the domain you desire. Your choice should be built upon the goal of your web page and on its target viewers. Let's scrutinize the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domain Names - these are the most common Top-Level Domains aimed to denote a specific intention - .com (business entities), .net (networks), .biz (corporations), .info (informational web sites), .org (not-for-profit organizations), .mobi (mobile devices), .asia (the Asia-Pacific), .name (individuals or families), .pro (certain walks of life), and so on. As you can perceive, these Top-Level Domain Names cover most realms of life, so you should select the one that would explain the purpose of your site best. There is no restriction as to who can register such TLDs, but some of them include extra requirements to prove that you qualify to own such a domain name (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code TLDs, are country-specific domains. Each country has its own ccTLD. Choosing such a domain is good if your target group of website visitors is from a given country. Many folks would prefer to purchase commodities or services from a local site, and if your goal is Canada, for instance, picking a .ca Top-Level Domain could boost the visits to your website.

URL Forwarding

You can register a number of domain names, which can send your web site's visitors to a specific website like domain.com, for instance. This would boost the traffic and reduce the probability of somebody snatching your web site visitors by registering the same Second-Level Domain Name with a different TLD - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Every domain name has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) display where the domain name is hosted, i.e. they point to the hosting supplier whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is utilizing now. You can swap the name servers of your domain whenever you like. You can have your domain registered with one provider and get the web site hosting service itself from another. Hence, if you register your domain and find good website hosting services somewhere else at a later time, you can point your domain to the new company's name servers straight off.

Name Server Records (NS Records)

In general, as long as your domain name utilizes a given set of DNSs, all its NS records will lead to the same web hosting provider. Some website hosting suppliers, however, enable you to edit certain DNS records, including the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an IP address, which shows on which web server your website is situated, whereas the MX records exhibit which web hosting server handles the electronic mail accounts related to your domain name. For example, if you hire a new website designer and he devises an .ASP website that will be hosted on his private Windows web hosting server, you may wish to modify solely the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. Hence, www.domain.com will point to the Windows hosting server, but your emails or any sub-domains like forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux web hosting account. The .ASP platform is created by Microsoft and requires a Windows server, although a Linux web server would be way more dependable.
