What are Domains

Among the elements you need so as to kick off a web page is a domain. This is the URL your web page visitors will write in their browsers to visit your online portal and it is one of the things they will identify you with. For this reason you should settle on a domain that is suitable and descriptive, but it should also be easy to remember.

Registries - The Real Domain Caterers

Each domain extension, or TLD (Top-Level Domain), is handled by a Registry. This is the top-level organization that handles all domain registrations and specifies the stipulations for each given TLD. A number of domain Registrars act under the Registry. These are certified distributors that offer the concrete domain registration service, are responsible for any extra registration rules and bill the end users.

Generic or Country Code TLDs?

When picking a domain, you should ruminate about its Top-Level Domain. Whether it will be a generic Top-Level Domain like .com, .info, .org, or a ccTLD such as .us, .fr or .com.au, is dependent on the target viewers and on the purpose of your web site, but also on your desire, so when you are seeking a registrar where you can register your domain name, make sure that you opt for one with a huge array of domain name extensions. In this way, you can rest assured that you will make the best possible choice and if you register a bunch of domain names for your private or business web page, they all will be in one single place, not disseminated across several separate domain name registrars.

Registrants - The Authentic Domain Proprietors

When you register a domain, you become the domain Registrant, or its proprietor. You can list a different person as the Administrative or Technical Contact for the domain name if someone else takes charge of your web site, which will permit you to attend solely to aspects regarding the proprietorship or some payment matters.

Domain Registration Intervals: 1 to 10 Years

Most domains are registered for a term of 1 to 10 years, but some particular TLDs can be registered for at least 2 yrs, or for no more than 5, for example. You can also transfer your domain between various registrars and once again, different top-level domain names involve different procedures for that. Before you register your domain name, it is advisable to become acquainted with what given rules there are for the given Top-Level Domain that you've picked. A proper example is the domain names table at our website where you can see quite an enormous selection of supported domain name extensions and extensive info in regard to the transfer and pre-registration rules entailed, as well as the registration term for some of the more specific top-level domain names.

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

Always be sure to inspect the re-registration procedure details before your domain registration concludes. Given domain names cannot be renewed after they expire, and for others you have 1 month after the expiry date to register them again. The general practice is that when a domain runs out, it is either terminated after a specific period, or the domain registration company acquires possession of the domain provided that you, the owner, have not displayed any interest in re-registering it. That is the reason why you should constantly keep track of the expiration date of your domains or you will risk forfeiting them. For some top-level domain names like .com or .net, you have 30 days after the expiration date, while with others, like .eu - you lose the domain name once it runs out and you need to wait 30 to 45 days before you can register it again.
