Domain names explained
A domain name can make or break a website. Get it right and people will remember it forever, get it wrong and they will never memorize the name of your web site.
You should pick a domain that is directly associated with the topic of your web site, your personal name or the name of your company. For instance, the domain name for the website of 'Online Presence Solutions' – this one – , is http://www.onlinepresence.info and http://www.presenceonline.info These domains are instantly associated with the company's name and with web hosting solutions in general, rendering it easy for the company's business associates and clients to find it on the web.
The most popular domain TLDs are .com and .net, but keep in mind that your private or corporate domains do not necessarily need to end with .com, where choices are limited. We certainly did not choose one of them!
Actually, there is an almost boundless variety of Top-Level Domain extensions to select from. Starting by the CC TLDs which are meant to be used mostly by locals in every country. For example if you live in Australia you can apply for domains such as .com.au or .net.au. If you live in New Zealand you may apply for domains such as .co.nz , .org.nz or .net.nz. We can register those domains for you! Please be aware though that there are a few requirements imposed by the Registrars to qualify for those domains. A UK-based web site might gain greater popularity if it employs a .co.uk or if your business is in Canada or the United States of America, .ca or .us might be a more reasonable choice.
On the other hand, there are also the Generic TLDs like .info – for websites intended for information and/or commerce, .mobi – for websites intended for mobile device use or .name – for personal websites. You can also find some CC TLDs which are not restricted to nationals from their respective countries but instead are being marketed as generic TLDs, catering for different segments such as .tv – for multimedia websites, .co, .nu and .ws – thought of as .com alternatives and .me – for personal websites.
