What are Domain Names

A domain can make or break a web site. Get it right and everybody will memorize it forever, get it wrong and they will never memorize your web site's name. Hence, you should pick a domain that is directly associated with your site's topic, your own personal name or the name of your company. For instance, the web site of Shirinyan Hosting – a well-known ICANN-certified domain name registrar and shared hosting provider, is https://uphost.us. This domain name is immediately associated with the name of the company and with hosting services in general, making it easy for Shirinyan Hosting's business associates and customers to discover it online.

Over fifty top-level domain name extensions to pick from

But bear in mind that your personal or corporate domains do not necessarily need to end with .com, where choices are limited. As a matter of fact, there is an almost boundless choice of domain extensions to select from, among them .MOBI – for websites intended for mobile device use, .TV – for TV or video-related sites, .NAME and .ME – for personal websites, .CO, .NU and .WS – regarded as .COM alternatives, and virtually any country-specific top-level domain name that crosses your mind. A United Kingdom-based web site might enjoy bigger popularity if it employs a .CO.UK top-level domain name. However, if your business is in Canada or the US, .CA or .US might be a more appropriate choice.
