Tips to register a domain name
What is a DNS server?
Each web page has an assigned IP address. The role of DNS servers to translate the name of each page to its corresponding IP address. Then, DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that translates a domain name to an IP number and, thus, is located the server where a Web site. Typically, the domains need two DNS servers to be located on the Internet, and often have names like these:
ns1.your-web-hosting-provider.net
ns2.your-web-hosting-provider.net
What is a domain redirection?
Many webmasters have their website hosted free sites, which means they usually have a long address and unprofessional. For example, www.hostinggratis.com / user / name. To avoid this problem, and also due to the low cost of registering a domain today (on average 10 to 15 € per year), many webmasters choose to buy a proper domain of the type. Com,.'s, Etc. In these cases you need to redirect existing domain hosting, ie make the domain point to your existing pages so that when someone types your new domain in your browser will display the page you choose.
What is the difference between domains. Com,. Net,. Org, etc..?
Although initially the domain. Com was intended for businesses,. Net network services, the. Org for organizations, etc., Now it has lost its meaning and can be used interchangeably. In addition, search engines do not make distinctions between them.
Recommendations
Should I register a domain from the principle of having a web or wait a bit to have some success?
It is highly recommended to start with your own domain and not a free domain. If you do not start with him, all the work you do promoting your website and getting links and the search engine rankings you get, you lose when you need or want your own domain and your address will be different. In this connection you may be interested in the topic of domain names with keywords.
There are people who as a solution to this problem, register your domain and still retain the ancient but redirected to the new. However, it is best to start right from the start, so you'll get all the links and all entries in web directories pointing to self-control.
What extension to choose?
Given that the search engines gives as the domain extension, and people who visit them usually also have enough flexibility to register a domain name. However, it never hurts to try to bring the domain extension to site content you want to create. For example, if you're creating a website for an NGO, may be more appropriate to register a. Org (nonprofit organization) that a. Com (commercial), although this is not very important today.
Personally, I think it's best to choose generic or extended extensions such as. Com,. Net, org.. Info,. Is. Unless you need is a really important keyword, I would not recommend registering another extension. It is also important to choose a good domain name.
Does the extension to the search engine rankings?
No, not taken into account. Your position is given by as you optimize the site, content, keywords, links, etc. While it is true that the sites are. Com often occur more frequently among the top positions in search engines, this may be due to causes beyond the type of domain extension. For example, there are many more sites with a. Com with other extensions and, in addition, these sites usually have more time on the Internet (remember that. Info or. Biz not exist until recent years).
Final Tips
Beware of hosting companies offer you free domain hosting to hire them, if at any time you want to transfer your domain to another company (which is not uncommon) is likely to bring you a hard time doing and try to keep you with them or even have registered the domain to your name, so it would control them, not you.
Beware of companies that offer a domain for less than 7 or 8 €. Such a low price is not normal, and given even less to make money, but do so at the expense of minimizing their costs, so that their services are not very good (especially noticeable in the attention customer). In addition, it is likely that these companies use these low prices to attract customers and offer other services like web hosting, email, web design, etc. to recover what they expect no gain from the sale of domains.
Before hiring the services of a domain registrar, make sure you have control of the domain, listed as owner in the register and that you provide a DNS manager.
From my point of view, it is best to register a domain and hosting company with a different, each a specialist in your field.
