First and foremost, it is necessary for you to know some basic terms and get a clear idea of how domain names work. What is a domain name? It is a web-base address for your online presence telling people from all around the world where your website is located. A domain name is composed of two labels separated by the dot. These two parts both are very important to any website and also reflect your business. For example, cheapwebdesign.com could be a good domain for you if your company are designing website for small businesses.
The left part of a domain name is a very crucial and decisive part. Ideally, it should be short, catchy, memorable, easy to pronounce and spell and avoid from someone else's trademark.
The right part of a domain name is known as top level domain. Domain names are classified into three kinds according to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). They are top-level domains (TLDs), Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and Country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs). TLD domains are the most common domains extensions that if familiar to every website users, such as,.com,.net, and.org domain extension. Generic top-level domains were created with different meanings. Finally, Country-code top-level domains were designed especially for websites related to particular countries, for instance,.cn (China),.uk (United Kingdom), and.ro (Romania). Then which type of extensions should you choose for your website? Does it affect your business? If you are expecting local visitors from a particular country (i.e. Canada), it is important for you to register for example,.ca extension to telling people that you are operating out of Canada. This would indicate to search engines that the content of the site is related to the country in question, which would improve the search rankings of the site for search queries coming from the same geographical location. Then with your regular content published, you will gain a large audience base from Canada.
However, if you are going to launch a website with general information so that your audiences have no geography difference, you may be not required to by a specific ccTLDs because you are expecting as many people as possible from all around the world to read your content. Then it is advised that you had better to go for TLDs or gTLDs domains because they will telling the search engines that your website is global in nature, with no bias towards any areas.
Overall, a name plays a prominent role when people discover, remember, think about, talk about, search for, or navigate to a website. Therefore, it is very important to choose two ideal labels to make up a perfect domain for your website. In addition, it is also important to choose a ideal web host for your website. Your target audience should never be overlooked. When shopping a web host for your website, it is a good idea to find a provider from where your visitors are, that is to say, if you have audience in the United States, you had better find a provider for USA.
