Domain Names Explained

A domain name can make or break a website. Get it right and everybody will remember it for good, get it wrong and they will never memorize your site’s name. So, you should choose a domain name that has direct relevance to the topic of your website, your own personal name or the name of your company. For instance, the website of Lime Server – a popular ICANN-certified domain registrar and web hosting company, is https://www.limeserver.com. This domain is instantly associated with the company’s name and with hosting solutions in general, rendering it easy for the company’s business associates and clients to discover it online.

More than fifty TLD extensions to choose from

But don’t forget that your private or business domains do not mandatorily have to end with .com, where choices are limited. Actually, there is an almost limitless set of domain name extensions to pick from, among them .MOBI – for websites intended for mobile device use, .TV – for media sites, .NAME and .ME – for personal sites, .CO, .NU and .WS – regarded as .COM analogs, and virtually any country-specific top-level domain name you can think of. A UK-based web site might enjoy higher popularity if it uses a .CO.UK TLD extension. However, if your business is in Canada or the United States, .CA or .US might be a more reasonable choice.
