Domain names are unique identification strings
containing alphabets and numbers that help businesses
and individuals establish their identity in the online
world.
People will always need a unique domain to
reach your company website on the internet as it is not
possible for everyone to type out or remember the
unique IP address of each website, hence domains are
used as they are easy to remember for humans and are
brand-able.
Examples of some domain names are :
•www.google.com
•www.indiamicrofinance.com
•www.yahoo.in
•www.yahoo.co.in
•www.123india.com
•www.abc.xyz
Remember, a domain always consists of two or more
parts and is always separated by a “.” dot. The two or
more letters that appear in the end after the dot are
referred to as the “suffix” .
In the early days of the
Internet more than two decades ago, different suffixes
were reserved for different types of businesses and
organizations
For instance
.com – was meant for commercial businesses and
companies.
.net – was used for networks and was preferred by
Internet Service Providers (ISP’s).
.org – was used by non profit organizations such
as NGO’s.
Now in 2015 , there are thousands of suffixes and a
new one is released almost every week. The suffixes
are no longer restricted to a particular sector, country or
industry. It is however advisable to always set up your
website on a .com because .com’s are an established
brand and are among the oldest suffixes on the Internet.
They also have a high recall value and are the most
valuable among all domain suffixes.
As per the latest report released by Verisign there are
more than 300 million registered domains as of 2015
and .com’s account for about 130 million registrations
(45% of all registered domains) followed by .tk .
What is a free domain name ?
By definition , a free domain name is one where you are
not required to pay an annual renewal fee. Most
domains names are sold by a domain registrar, which is
an organization or company that manages the
registration of Internet domain names. A domain name
registrar has to be registered with the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN ).
ICANN is an international organization which supervises
the functioning of domain name registrars and also
servers as an arbiter settling disputes between
customers and registrars. Example of a domain
registrar – https://www.registry.in
Most .com domain names cost US$ 1 to US$ 15 (Rs 65
to Rs 1000) annually, the price varies because domain
registrars give discounts to new customers and absorb
some of the actual costs involved in purchasing these
new domain names. Once you purchase a domain name
it is valid for one year after which you will have to
renew it, failing which the domain expires and can then
be purchased by other users.
