A domain is a name that identifies IP addresses on the internet.
The domain name Yahoo.com represents about fifteen (15)
IP addresses. Domain names are used to identify Web pages.
For example, in the URL
http://www.TemplatesForProfit.com/xsitepro/index.html,
the domain name is TemplatesForProfit.com.
You register a domain name by registering with a domain name
services registrar. The domain name industry is regulated
and overseen by ICANN, which is an organization responsible
for providing standards and procedures for certifying
companies as domain name registrars
.
Domain name registration has grown over the years.
Network Solutions was the first domain name registrar to ever
provide such a service. That was over ten years ago but today
there are many accredited registrars.
Only a domain name registrar is permitted to access and modify
the master database domains that are on InterNIC servers.
The fee is determined by the registrar as far as getting a
domain name and some registers have special domain name packages.
Do You Really Need a Domain Name?
You use a domain name to create an identity on the World Wide Web
and domain names can also be used for branding purposes,
such as Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. In picking a domain name,
the title shouldn’t stray far from what your company is all about.
This will allow you to market your web-site as a subsidiary of
your business and put your domain name on business cards and
advertisements.
Once you select a domain name, you must register it with a
domain name registrar. This is a task you can do easily.
Many ISPs offer a complete package that includes hosting
and the registering of the domain name for you.
Fees probably will include a one time set-up fee for all of the
backend technical work that needs to be accomplished.
Then pay your service provider a monthly, semi-annual or annual
fee for Web site hosting services.
Many domain registrar services have competent online tools
to help you get your domain name and hosting site up and running.
