What are Domain Names

A domain name can make or break a website. Get it right and everyone will memorize it for good, get it wrong and they will never remember your site's name. So, you should pick a domain name that is directly connected with the subject matter of your site, your own personal name or your company's name. For example, the web site of idomainHOST – an acclaimed ICANN-certified domain name registrar and shared hosting provider, is https://idomain.host. This domain name is instantly associated with the company's name and with web hosting solutions in general, rendering it easy for idomainHOST's partners and customers to discover it on the World Wide Web.

More than 50 TLD extensions to pick from

But keep in mind that your private or corporate domain names do not necessarily have to end with .com, where choices are restricted. In fact, there is a practically unrestricted set of domain name extensions to select from, including .MOBI – for mobile websites, .TV – for media websites, .NAME and .ME – for personal websites, .CO, .NU and .WS – regarded as .COM equivalents, and virtually any country-specific Top-Level Domain that comes to your mind. A United Kingdom-based web site might enjoy bigger popularity if it employs a .CO.UK top-level domain name. However, if your business is in Canada or the United States, .CA or .US might be a smarter choice.
