Domains Explained

Among the requirements you demand in order to create a web site is a domain name. This is the address your visitors will write in their web browsers to explore your web page and it is amongst the things they will identify you with. That is the reason why you should choose a domain name that is good and explanatory, but it should also be simple to remember.

Registries - The Actual Domain Name Furnishers

Each domain name extension, or TLD (top-level domain name), is supervised by a Registry. This is the top-level institution that governs all domain name registrations and prescribes the rules for each given top-level domain name. A number of domain Registrars work under the Registry. These are certified suppliers that provide the concrete domain name registration service, deal with any extra registration stipulations and charge the end customers.

Generic or Country Code Top-Level Domain Names?

When choosing a domain name, you should think about its Top-Level Domain. Whether it will be a generic top-level domain name such as .com, .info, .biz, or a country code TLD like .us, .es or .com.au, is dependent on the target viewers and on the purpose of your online portal, but also on your liking, so when you are seeking a registrar where you can register your domain name, make certain that you opt for one with a large array of domain extensions. In this way, you can be sure that you will make the best possible selection and if you register several domain names for your personal or business site, they all will be in one single place, not scattered across multiple individual companies.

Registrants - The Authentic Domain Name Possessors

When you register a domain name, you become the domain Registrant, or its owner. You can designate another person as the Administrative or Technical Contact for the domain name if somebody else administers your web page, which will allow you to attend solely to subjects regarding the proprietorship or given payment matters.

Domain Name Registration Periods: One to Ten Years

Most domain names are registered for a period of one to ten years, but certain particular Top-Level Domains can be registered for no less than two yrs, or for no more than 5, for instance. You can also transfer your domain between various domain name registrars and again, different top-level domain names involve different prerequisites for that. Prior to registering your domain name, it is advisable to become familiar with what specific stipulations there are for the given TLD that you've picked. A proper example is the domain names chart at our website where you can check quite an immense collection of offered domain extensions and detailed info as regards the transfer and pre-registration criteria involved, as well as the registration period for some of the more peculiar TLDs.

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

Always be sure to check the re-registration procedure details before your domain name registration expires. Some domain names cannot be renewed after they run out, and for others you have one month after the expiration date to register them again. The common scenario is that when a domain name runs out, it is either canceled after a given time, or the domain registrar assumes ownership of the domain name if you, the owner, have not displayed any interest in registering it again. That is the reason why you should constantly keep track of the expiration date of your domains or you will risk losing them. For certain TLDs such as .com or .net, you have thirty days after the expiration date, whereas with others, like .eu - you lose proprietorship of the domain once it expires and you must wait thirty to forty five days before you can register it again.
