What is Domain?

For a layman, domain is a unique web address of website. So when you type devidomain.com in address bar of your browser, it takes you to a unique website.

The first step to own a website is to buy domain name for your website. It should be simple to remember for visitors to your website. So if they want to come back to your site, they can directly visit the site.



Generally,  domain should represent your business e.g. devidomain includes the word domain indicating that we are selling domain through web site. OR it should be very small (5-6 Letters only) e.g. google.com, yahoo.com etc.

The governing body for domain names is called ICANN (Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers), a non-profit corporation charged with overseeing the creation and distribution of TLDs.

Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:

•  gov - Government agencies
•  org - Organizations (nonprofit)
•  com - commercial business
•  net - Network organizations
•  ca - Canada
•  in - India

Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server requires a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP addresses.

Generic domains (gTLDs)

All international domains have their formal purpose, for instance, .COM is intended for commercial sites, .NET for network companies, .ORG for non-profits, .BIZ for businesses, .NAME for personal pages, .MOBI for mobile-device optimized sites. Nevertheless, most of them, with the exception of .MOBI, can be used for any type of websites. Their growing popularity and easy-to-spell syntax have made them a preferred choice among users.

Country-code domains (ccTLDs) If you are wondering why there are so many (over a hundred) domain extensions on the web, the answer is that almost any country in the world, including small islands, has its own top-level domain. The list is really impressive.  The country domains are a great way for companies and organizations to target their local audiences more closely. It is important to know that each country has specific registration rules for its official domain, so you should always check them before you choose your country domain. For India, it is .in e.g.: DeviDomain.in)
