In order to make a name for yourself or for your business online, you need a website that showcases your products and services. Such a website should be easy to navigate, and it should load quickly on a wide range of Internet browsers. Your website should also be full of useful content that your prospective customers can use. You also need a domain name to lead people to your site, and for this, you will need to know more about Internet domain names.

There are different domain name providers online that sell domain names and give them to their buyers for a certain period of time. Some web hosting companies are also domain name providers: in addition to web hosting space and web hosting services, these companies offer Internet domain name registration. This can be useful if you are after an all-in-one package, but if you already have your own hosting service, you can still purchase your Internet name separately.

Internet Domain Names

There are many different Internet domain names to choose from, along with different endings that describe the aim of your website or business. Dot com endings are the most expensive, as they are the easiest to remember: a dot com ending can be used for a wide variety of websites, including businesses and personal websites.

Also common, but less expensive, are dot net and dot biz endings. A dot net ending is usually given to a network of websites, or a company or business that also functions as a network online. A dot biz ending denotes a business, although most businesses still favor a dot com ending due to its easier recall. Also common to government websites is dot gov.

Aside from these endings, some Internet domain names also denote the website owner’s or business’ country of origin using a two letter country abbreviation appended to the end of the Internet name. For instance, a dot net dot de domain name refers to a network in Germany, while a dot biz dot uk refers to a business from the United Kingdom. Internet domain names with country-specific endings are also more expensive than simple Internet domain names.

Internet Domain Name Registration

As soon as you have selected an Internet name merchant from your list of domain name providers, you need to go through the process of Internet domain registration. This will secure you the Internet name for a certain period of time, after which you will have to pay another fee to renew the Internet name for your use.
When selecting from a list of Internet domain names, pick Internet names that not only fit your budget, but describe your website’s or business’ aims as well. With an Internet name that is easy to remember, you can have more visitors for your website.
