What are Domains

One of the fundamentals you need so as to own a web page is a domain. This is the Internet address your web page visitors will type in their browsers to examine your website and it is among the things they will associate you with. This is the reason why you should choose a domain that is suitable and descriptive, but it should also be easy to remember.

Registries - The Real Domain Providers

Each domain extension, or TLD (top-level domain name), is handled by a Registry. This is the top-level institution that manages all domain registrations and defines the stipulations for each particular top-level domain name. Different domain name Registrars work under the Registry. These are authorized corporations that offer the actual domain registration service, are responsible for any supplementary registration requirements and bill the end clients.

Generic or Country Code TLDs?

When picking a domain name, you should muse upon its TLD. Whether it will be a generic top-level domain name such as .com, .net, .biz, or a ccTLD such as .ca, .es or .com.au, is determined by the target audience and on the function of your portal, but also on your choice, so when you are seeking a domain registration company where you can register your domain name, make sure that you elect one with a big assortment of domain extensions. In this way, you can be confident that you will make the best choice and if you register a couple of domain names for your family-oriented or corporate site, they all will be in a single place, not scattered across many separate companies.

Registrants - The Real Domain Possessors

When you register a domain, you become the domain Registrant, or its owner. You can list another individual as the Administrative or Technical Contact for the domain name if somebody else takes charge of your web site, which will permit you to deal only with aspects concerning the proprietorship or specific payment matters.

Domain Registration Terms: One to Ten Yrs

The majority of domains are registered for a period of 1 to 10 years, but certain particular TLDs can be registered for no less than 2 yrs, or for no more than 5, for example. You can also transfer your domain name between separate companies and again, different TLDs involve different prerequisites for that. Before you register your domain, it is advisable to verify what given prerequisites there are for the specific TLD that you've picked. A relevant example is the domain names table at our website where you can take a gaze at quite a huge selection of available domain name extensions and vital info concerning the transfer and pre-registration criteria involved, as well as the registration term for some of the more peculiar top-level domain names.

Redemption Grace Periods (RGP): 30 to 45 Days

Always make sure to get acquainted with the re-registration process specifications before your domain registration finishes. Specific domains cannot be re-registered after they expire, and for others you have 1 month after the expiration date to register them again. The general rule is that when a domain runs out, it is either removed after a specific time, or the domain registrar assumes ownership of the domain name on condition that you, the owner, have not shown any intention of registering it again. Therefore you should always keep track of the expiry date of your domains or you will jeopardize forfeiting them. For particular top-level domain names like .com or .net, you have 30 days after the expiry date, while with others, such as .eu - you forfeit possession of the domain name as soon as it runs out and you must wait thirty to forty five days before you can register it again.
