Domain Names 101

Without a domain name, websites are specified by IP address. What is an IP address? It is an identifier used by computers or humans to determine the location of a server or website.

However, for humans, an IP address (which is expressed in numerical format) can be difficult to remember. This is why domain names were invented.

With a domain name, a human can locate a website through more user-friendly words or phrases. And while numbers can be part of a domain name, they usually don’t make up the whole thing, like what you see with an IP address.

In terms of format, domain names have several parts. The first part is known as the URL (which stands for Uniform Resource Locator). The URL tells the browser what the domain name will point to.

Usually this will be ‘http’, which means the browser can expect to locate a hypertext document. In simple terms, this means website.

In rare cases, the URL is not ‘http’, it may be ‘ftp’, which stands for file transfer protocol. A webmaster would choose to use ftp if they want visitors to download files from their server.

The second part of the domain name will be “www”, which stands for “World Wide Web”. This phrase lets computers and humans know that the site the domain name points to is on the Internet.

This is followed by the actual domain name, which can be a combination of letters, numbers, or phrases. A good domain name will be short, easy to remember, and most importantly, search engine friendly.

In fact, good webmasters tend to focus more on the effectiveness of a domain name with SEO (or search engine optimization), than on its creativity. To do this, they make sure to choose a domain name that has a widely searched keyword.

The final part of the domain name has what is known as an extension. This allows a person to know a little more about the origins of a website. For example, take .com, the most common domain name extension.

It means “commercial” and was originally intended for organizations in that sense. However, now the extension is used by practically anyone who wants to create a website.

And this is for a good reason, since most Internet users will think of .com before .org, .biz or .net. However, don’t think that the other extensions can’t become memorable either. Consider Wikipedia.org, which is a very popular website despite its .org extension.

Domain name extensions can also specify things geographically. One example is country-based extensions like .fr (meaning France) or .jp (meaning Japan).

They can also be based on states, like .ca, (which stands for California). Both can serve as excellent tools for localized internet marketing.

To get a domain name, a person can either: 1) get one from their web hosting company, as long as they offer that service, or 2) get one from a separate domain name company.

Price-wise, things will vary with both options, though typically the cost will range from $6.50 to $35.

A good domain name not only increases the chances that people will visit a website, but it can also increase search engine rankings.

This is because search engine bots index websites based on keywords found in both their content and domain name. However, how does a webmaster know if his domain name will be profitable? Usually, most don’t do it until they put it into practice. Therefore, there is the practice of domain name testing.

What is the domain name test? Domain name testing is the process of registering a domain name and seeing how much traffic it brings to a website during whatever grace period the domain name registrar offers (which is typically five days).

If the domain name attracts a lot of visitors, the webmaster will keep it. Otherwise, they will cancel your registration and get a refund.

Do you find this interesting? Well, before you decide to do a domain name trial for your site, first consider the ethics of the practice.

Domain name companies lose millions of dollars each year due to domain name testing. While some may not like them, if domain name testing continues without legal restrictions, DNS companies may fight back by raising their prices.

Such a consequence would also harm customers who intended to purchase the domain name directly.

Another ethical dilemma related to domain name testing is the issue of good domain names not being eligible for more serious customers.

Some may feel that in a capitalist free enterprise system, domain name evaluators have every right to access as many domain names as they can.

However, if they really aren’t going to buy them, why shouldn’t these domain names be made available to the people who may need them the most? Many would argue that it is better to sell a domain name to a company that is serious about using it as their brand than to sell it to a person who thinks they can use it to get fast traffic.

It is also important to note that a good domain name is not the only indicator of whether or not a site will be successful.

Domain name tasters are fooling themselves if they think their domain taster practice is what has led to their success with website traffic.

Sure, an expired domain name might have a little bit of traffic associated with it, but to get one that’s valuable, a person would have to pay hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars.

Many domain name tasters would not have the funds for such a domain name, so they may deal with cheaper names. And most of these cheaper ones probably don’t have their own flow of traffic.

In fact, the type of website that gets a lot of traffic is the one with: a decent domain name, keyword-rich content, and lots of inbound links.

Even if one doesn’t see anything ethically wrong with domain name testing, doing so may not accurately reflect whether or not a domain name is valid.

In fact, if a person does a domain name test and their website doesn’t have the other elements that contribute to proper traffic generation, they may be throwing away a domain name that could be a gold mine in the future. .

Without a domain name, a person has no proper way to find a website. The only problem is that domain names cost money.

Granted, if one person is running one or two sites, the cost of a domain name (ranging from $1.00 to $35), probably isn’t too high. However, what if one is an avid marketer and makes a profit from hundreds of sites?

Even the bare minimum in domain name fees can add up. This is why internet marketing gurus might want to consider signing up for free domain names.

There are three types of free domain names: third-level domain names, top-level domain names with lesser-used extensions, and top-level domain names with traditional extensions.

The first type of free domain name is known as a third level domain name. This is a domain name that is commonly distributed by free web hosting companies or affiliate programs.

However, there is a downside to this type of domain name. This disadvantage means that the first level domain name (usually the company name) has to be part of the third level domain name. For example, consider a website built with Geocities.

If a webmaster chooses ‘web hosting’ as their third level domain name, the following would be the syntax: Geocities.com/webhosting.

Such a domain name is not very convenient for potential visitors, so webmasters may consider redirecting this type of URL to other versions of free domain names.

The second type of free domain name is a top level domain name that contains an extension that is not as popular in the Internet world. Some examples are the types of free domain names offered by Dot.tk or Free Domain.co.

The extensions offered by these companies are .tk and .co.nr, respectively. These are far from a .com or a .net, but they are not as cumbersome to use as a third level domain name.

The main key will be to make sure that the initial domain name is short and easy to remember, so that potential visitors are not as affected by the unusual extension.

Finally, there are free domain names with more commonly used extensions, such as .com or .org. To find them, a person has to do some research.

Sometimes people offer them for free since they were about to expire anyway. A person can try to find these situations through the dedicated webmaster message boards.

Other times, companies will offer these types of free domain names because they get free ad space. What happens is that every time the free domain name is used, a pop-up ad will appear on the person’s website. This is how the free domain name company earns its revenue.

In conclusion, free domain names can be a great alternative for someone who needs domains for multiple websites. The best ones are the ones where a person can get a top level domain, although a third level domain name is better than nothing. To sign up for a free domain name, you can search for free domain name companies on the Internet.

One of the biggest difficulties of being a new webmaster is trying to acquire traffic. This is because trying to generate legitimate traffic takes time and money.

How is this so? Well, if a webmaster is trying to get traffic through search engines, he will need to spend a lot of time on link building and content creation.

If you’re trying to get traffic through a pay-per-click program, you’ll have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars if you want to take advantage of a high-performing keyword. However, there is another alternative that can allow a webmaster to get tons of traffic without spending too much time or money. It involves the purchase of expired domain names.

What is an expired domain name? An expired domain name is a domain name that has never been renewed by its owner. This could be for a variety of reasons, such as disinterest in the original website, lack of funds, or something more serious, such as the death of the owner.

Regardless of the reason the renewal fees are not paid, the expired domain name remains in cyberspace and continues to function like any other domain name. There is only one difference… an expired domain name does not have a website attached to it, so it points to a 404 error page.

In fact, it is a loss of traffic when an expired domain name points to a 404 web page. Many domain name companies have figured this out, which is why some sell expired domain names either through a regular up-front or auction sale of expired domain names.

Prices for these domain names can range from under $100 to over $1 million. Some of these sales may even include a website.

So how does a webmaster know if an expired domain name is worth buying? First, they need to check to see the Google Page Rank of an expired domain name.

To do this, they need to download the Google toolbar and then type in the URL of the expired domain name. The toolbar will let them know what the ranking of the page is. If the page rank indicator is grey, the expired domain name should be avoided as this means the site has been banned by Google.

Otherwise, you should be fine, though webmasters should also keep in mind the actual number associated with Page Rank. If the number is between 6 and 10, they should seriously consider buying the expired domain name.

Second, webmasters need to find out the Alexa rating of an expired domain name. The Alexa rating determines how much traffic has actually been directed to a domain name.

If a website hasn’t received a significant amount of traffic, it won’t have an Alexa rating. To determine the Alexa rating for an expired domain name, webmasters should visit Alexa.com.

Finally, webmasters need to see how many websites are linked to the expired domain name. To do this, they must place the command link: followed by the URL of the expired domain name in a search engine.

If many links are returned, this is a sign that the traffic coming to the expired domain name originated from legitimate sources.

You think of a perfect domain name. It contains a keyword that is found in search engines, has no trademark issues, and is memorable to website visitors.

You try to register your domain name with a domain name company. It seems to be taken. So, you put a hyphen on it. That version of your domain name is not taken, but should you go ahead and invest in it? This article will explore what webmasters need to consider if they decide to use hyphenated domain names.

First, they need to think about the visitors to their website. Most people are not used to using hyphenated domain names. Even if they like a website, it may simply be a matter of forgetting to include the hyphen.

If this happens, the unhyphenated version of the domain name will be the one receiving traffic, which is definitely not what a webmaster wants. Of course, if a domain name didn’t have a hyphen in the first place, that problem would never arise.

However, a hyphenated domain name that is rich in keywords has a higher chance of ranking well in a search engine than a non-hyphenated domain that is not optimized for SEO.

A higher search engine ranking might offset the initial downside of how inconvenient a hyphenated domain name is. This is because if a website ranks high in search engines, people won’t need to type in the domain name to access it.

They can simply click on the given listing in the search engine results. And if they like the site, they will bookmark it, an action that is preferable as it shows that they are genuinely interested in what the site has to offer.

Webmasters should also consider whether their domain name is more understandable if they use a hyphen. Consider the unusual domain name molestationnursery.com.

This is actually referring to a website that talks about mole nurseries, not sexual abuse. However, what would most website visitors think if they saw the domain name that way? Including hyphens can make such a website much clearer.

It would also be better for SEO as search engines would index mole-station-nursery.com with mole-related keywords.

So basically there are pros and cons to using hyphenated domain names. If a webmaster thinks their domain name is going to get them a lot of search engine traffic, they should give it a try. And in some cases, a hyphenated domain name is necessary to make its meaning easier to understand.

Otherwise, webmasters should do their best to create unhyphenated domain names, as these are the types of domain names that rule the world of the Internet.

If you are having trouble finding a better domain name, you may want to consider using a domain name generator.

Many domain name companies provide rudimentary domain name generators if a selected domain name is rejected. However, webmasters do not have to settle for this type, as there are more sophisticated domain name generators that can offer even more suggestions.
