10 Domain Frequently Asked Questions

It is more important than ever to have an online presence. Millions of people spend a large percentage of their time online, especially when they’re searching for products, services, and/or businesses. You need a website before anything else if you want to succeed online. 

There are a few steps involved in creating a website. One of the most important is choosing and registering a domain.  This Process leaves many people filled with questions that need answers. We’re here to provide answers to some of the most common questions that people have during this time. 

Read below to find 10 Q&A that can help you get started when it is time to register your domain and begin working on that online presence that can ensure your success. It is easy to gain a better understanding of domains with this information.

What is a Domain Name?

Every website that you visit has what is called a domain name. The domain name is the name that you probably know the company as. A domain name is a unique name given to your website to identify your company or products and services. It is the websites’ home of sorts. This is the name that customers and consumers will use to find you on the internet. The domain is nothing more than a series of numbers. But, since it’d get very confusing trying to remember and correctly enter all these numbers, they’re transferred into a coded form, which is presented in the name that you choose for your website. The domain name chosen should be original because there can be only one of each domain name registered. Imagine how difficult it’d be if there were multiple domains with the same name! The domain name should also reflect your brand and the products and services that you offer. If you sell dog treats, you certainly would not want a domain name like fancy hearts! Furthermore, the domain should be easy for consumers to remember and to type into a search engine. If customers cannot remember the website name, you are missing out on customers and business. Customers will not struggle to remember the name of your site in most cases and will instead visit another website that is easier for them to remember than your site. What a tragedy that would be!

People register domains every single day. It is a very simple process that takes just a few minutes of time. Most people complete the process themselves, but one of our agents is always available should you need help or have further questions. You will need to register the domain name once you decide the right name for your business. Registering the domain makes the domain name yours to use for an allocated period. Once you’ve chosen a domain name, it is easy to point your domain name to your host, so your site is live and accessible by others. Without a host, your site is not quite ready to use and cannot be accessed by anyone else. Of course, there is no rush to find a host if you’re not quite ready. The domain name is yours for the time that you’ve paid for and you can do with it whatever you wish.

To register a domain name, simply choose the name that you want to use and enter it in the appropriate space provided on our registration form. Check for spelling and punctuation errors before the information is confirmed! Next, determine the length of time you want to lease the domain, enter your personal and payment information, and you’re done. You can choose the keep the domain for a few months, a year, a couple year, or even longer if you prefer. Credit cards and debit card payments are accepted. Once the payment is confirmed, the domain name is yours to use for the specific period and creating the perfect website is now the task at hand.

Many people assume that a domain and a URL are the same things, but they are not. A URL, or a Uniform Resource Locator, is the entire address that is used to visit a website, including all the spaces, dashes, and colons. The Domain name is included in the URL. The http(s) is the difference between the two. This tells visitors that any information they enter the site is safe and secure. The http(s) points the files to the server where the visitor can then access information as desired.

To make it a bit easier to understand, here is a breakdown of the website http://www.website.com/.

– http:// = protocol
– www- world wide web
– Website- domain name
– .com- TLD

If it all seems confusing right now, rest assured that it will all make more sense the more you get to know websites, domain names, etc. Everything takes time to learn but you will have a full understanding before long!
