Domain name – address of
website on the internet
Top–level domain - .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov
2nd–level domain
– business, shopping, search
[may contain hyphens, numbers
and letters]
3rd –level domain
– www1, www2, keyword
TIP: When purchasing your
domain name I recommend to
choose an easy to remember name,
and if possible purchase
variations or misspellings of
your domain name and have it
point to the Top-level domain.
Domain name length – 26
characters including extension
such as .com
TIP: Beware that you can have up
to 67 characters including the
extension, this was done for
business that have lengthy
names, so they do not have to
abbreviate, and for Search
Engine Optimization so domains
can be chock full of keywords.
Which might give a slight
advantage, but I don’t recommend
it.
Whois – a database of
domain names and ownership
information, the information
includes name address of the
registrant, administrative,
technical, and billing contacts
along with the date of purchase
and expiration, and domain
servers.
TIP: Private registration of a
domain name is available for a
small fee, so ownership is not
made public.
URL - stands for
“Uniform Resource Locator" and
includes the protocol [http],
the domain name [or IP address],
and additional path information
[folder and file].
