Domain Name : Types
Of the many different domain name types, types of domain
name extensions and country domain name extensions, Excellone Web Solutions
Development Company, India helps you make the right choices. The domain
name ending in .com is the most popular and hence "most valuable" of all
the different types of domain names. These dot-com domain names are used
by a vast majority of large companies, by spending hundreds of millions
of dollars on branding the "dot-com" top domain in the minds of web users
worldwide. In fact, .com names are so widespread that many people don't
even know that other domain extensions do exist! . com domains can be
freely bought or sold by anyone. .com domains can be considered the equivalent
of prime real estate on the Web.
Most companies will place a premium on owning a .com domain
name over any other domain extension. Two other international top domains,
namely .net and .org, are also becoming increasingly popular. .net is
officially reserved for network associations such as ISPs, but in practice
anyone can register a .net name. .org is supposed to be for non-profit
organizations, but yet again this rule is not enforced and anyone can
buy .org names. .net and .org names can be called distant cousins of the
good old .com, less desirable but certainly not unbearably so. Anyone
can register .net and .org domain names. Most countries now have their
own top domains, such as .uk for the UK or .fr for France .in for India.
The rules for buying domain names under each country top domain vary from
country to country.
Country domain name extensions are getting increasingly popular
by the day. Although, there has been discussion about possible moves to
restrict the .org top domain to non-profit organizations as was originally
intended; the current situation is that all the three domain name extensions
are accessible to anyone without restrictions and are widely recognized
across the globe the world. Mostly these three extensions are enough to
create a domain name of repute and quality. However, choosing the right
domain name extension is very important since it determines one's good
will and marketing potential.
Domain names: Country extensions
Country domain name extensions have now gained more popularity
than ever before. They are being sold either directly, or with an intervening
sub-domain such as .co or .org. Prime examples include .fr (France), .jp
(Japan - where .co.jp is also in widespread use and .co.uk for UK). These
domain name types are generally under government control, adding a level
of durability and permanence. Control over some country-level top domains
has been relinquished, either permanently or under contract, to various
commercial organizations around the world. Many of these organizations
don't go out of their way to advertise the local origin of their domain
names.
There's nothing wrong with these top-level domain names,
but they are only international by "agreement" - the underlying system
has them matched to a specific country. If the agreement with the country
in question expires or is re-negotiated, then users may be locked out
of their domains or the top-level domain put out of the reach of new applicants.
With the right configuration it is possible to set up infinite
sub domains for any given domain name. Thus, for example, one can make
the sub domains: -news.excellone-wsd.com. By doing this, it is actually
becoming part of another domain name, but pretending to be a news domain.
It can be seen that while the main types of domain names
are limited to .com, .net and. org. Most of us can find domain names within
these three extensions. Even though several extensions have been added
now, one way or other they have strings attached to them, as described
above. It is better to stick to the basic classification for obvious reasons.
As already stated, there are mines and traps throughout the
web world. A prudent net user will identify these with the help of quality
domain name registrars and some common sense. Being lured by offers of
cheap domain registrations and the registration of one's choice of domain
names might make one the owner of expired domain names, banned domain
names, domain names entangled in protracted legal battles and domain names
already registered for others. Therefore choosing the right type of domain
name extension is of prime importance.
However, the positive side of reality is that the cyber world
has an abundance of trustworthy, reasonable and established domain name
registrars, who are prepared to offer you a choice of safe domain names
while offering all the ancillary services associated with the task of
domain name registration. It is wiser and safer to depend on the services
of these premier registrars than choosing to take major risks in order
to save a paltry sum.
