How vital is to locate cheap domain names?

One of the most essential requirements for running a successful Internet presence is the domain. It is what visitors will discern first when they discover your site and what they will associate you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that tells your web site's visitors what the website is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain usually is composed of two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain. There are a couple of categories of Top-Level Domain Names that you should consider before you pick the domain you desire. Your decision should be built upon the intention of your site and on its target audience. Let's study the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domains - these are the most popular TLDs aimed to denote a particular purpose - .com (business enterprises), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (businesses), .info (informational web pages), .org (non-profit organizations), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia-Pacific region), .name (persons or families), .pro (particular professions), etc. As you can see, these TLDs encompass most fields of life, so you should settle on the one that would depict the objective of your site best. There is no limitation as to who can register such Top-Level Domains, but some of them contain extra requirements to confirm that you qualify to keep such a TLD (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domain Names, are country-specific TLDs. Each country has its own ccTLD. Picking such a domain name is good if your target group of visitors is from a specific country. Many individuals would like to purchase commodities or services from a local site, and if your target is Canada, for instance, picking a .ca domain name could increase the visits to your web site.

URL Redirection

You can register different domain names, which can redirect your site's visitors to a certain site like domain.com, for instance. This would raise the traffic and reduce the possibility of someone swiping your website visitors by using the same SLD with another Top-Level Domain Name - if you are not using a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Each Top-Level Domain has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) display where the domain name is hosted, i.e. they point to the web hosting company whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is utilizing now. You can replace the name servers of your domain name at all times. You can have your domain name registered with one firm and get the website hosting service itself from another. Hence, if you register your domain name and come across decent website hosting services someplace else later, you can point your domain name to the present company's name servers straight away.

Name Server Records (NS Records)

In general, as long as your domain name uses a specific set of DNSs, all its domain records will point to the same web hosting company. Some web page hosting suppliers, however, allow you to modify specific domain name records, like the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an IP address, which designates on which web hosting server your web page is located, whereas the MX records designate which server handles the e-mail accounts related to your domain name. For instance, if you appoint a new web site designer and he sets up an .ASP web page that will be located on his personal Windows hosting server, you may desire to alter only the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. Hence, www.domain.com will direct to the Windows server, but your mail address accounts or any sub-domains like forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux website hosting account. The .ASP platform is built by Microsoft and requests a Windows server, even though a Linux web server would be way more stable.
