1. What is
domain registration? |
|
When you go to a web address
you'll see a variety of extensions. These include ".com"
".net" ".org" ".edu (education)" ".gov (government), etc.
There used to be only several extensions but now are a
variety of them, including country extensions, ".tv" for
multimedia sites, and many more. The first step to getting a
web site is to make sure you secure your domain name. There
are a variety of popular registrars - these companies are
accredited through the original the official international
domain registration organization called ICANN (Internet
Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers). After you have
reserved your name through an ICANN accredited registrar it
is time to select your hosting provider. Shown below are
links on some of the popular and cheapest registrars. Many
web hosting providers also supply domain registration
services either through being accredited themselves or
through working a third party provider. While convenient,
for your own flexibility it usually makes more sense to
reserve the domain name separately from the web hosting
company. There are many fascinating dynamics to domain
registration, including entire markets of buying and selling
undeveloped domain names for profit, and monetizing domain
names for profit. Using systems like
Google AdSense
and others, people create link-based portals on undeveloped
domain properties. Either type-in traffic or search engine
traffic arrives on these names, clicks ads and generates
money for the owner of the name, and for the company
managing the advertisements. One popular program that
manages domain names is Sedo.
They assist in the selling of your name and offer profit
opportunities on a per-click-through basis. Another similar
company is Afternic.net. |
