How valuable is to find the best domain name?

One of the most vital requirements for establishing a successful Internet presence is the domain. It is what people will see first when they chance upon your site and what they will associate you with. The domain should be easy to memorize, but should also be something that notifies your web page's visitors what the web page is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain name usually has two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD. There are a few groups of Top-Level Domains that you should consider before you choose the domain you wish. Your choice should depend on the purpose of your website and on its target viewers. Let's take a glance at the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domain Names - these are the most common TLDs meant to signify a given purpose - .com (commercial organizations), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (companies), .info (informative websites), .org (not-for-profit organizations), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia-Pacific), .name (individuals or relatives), .pro (specific walks of life), etc. As you can see, these Top-Level Domain Names encompass most spheres of life, so you should opt for the one that would describe the objective of your site best. There is no limitation as to who can register such domains, but some of them contain additional requirements to confirm that you are eligible to possess such a Top-Level Domain Name (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domains, are country-specific domain names. Each country has its own ccTLD. Selecting such a domain is good if your target group of website visitors is from a certain country. Many individuals would prefer to purchase commodities or services from a local website, and if your aim is Canada, for example, picking a .ca TLD could boost the visits to your site.

URL Forwarding

You can register several domains, which can send your website's visitors to a particular web page such as domain.com, for instance. This would raise the traffic and lower the chance of somebody pilfering your site visitors by registering the same name with a different Top-Level Domain Name - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Each and every domain name has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, aka DNS records) show where the domain name is hosted, in other words they point to the web hosting supplier whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is utilizing at the moment. You can replace the DNSs of your domain name whenever you like. You can have your domain name registered with one firm and get the web hosting service itself from another. In this way, if you register your domain name and stumble upon good website hosting services somewhere else afterwards, you can point your domain to the current company's name servers immediately.

Domain Name Server Records (DNS Records)

In general, as long as your domain utilizes a specific set of NSs, all its name server records will lead to the same web hosting supplier. Some site hosting firms, though, permit you to modify specific DNS records, including the A records and the MX records of your domain. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which exhibits on which server your website is located, while the MX records designate which server tackles the e-mail addresses related to your domain name. For instance, if you take on a new web page designer and he sets up an .ASP website that will be located on his own Windows hosting server, you may want to change just the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain name. So, www.domain.com will point to the Windows server, but your electronic mails or any sub-domain names such as forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your present Linux web hosting account. The .ASP environment is devised by Microsoft and calls for a Windows hosting server, although a Linux web hosting server would be way more reliable.
