Domains Explained

A domain name can make or break a web site. Get it right and everyone will remember it forever, get it wrong and they will never remember the name of your site. Therefore, you should choose a domain that has direct relevance to the subject matter of your web site, your own personal name or the name of your company. For example, the website of 3rd Coast Domains – a well-known ICANN-appointed registrar and shared hosting company, is https://3rdcoastdomains.com. This domain name is instantaneously associated with the company's name and with web hosting solutions in general, rendering it easy for 3rd Coast Domains's business partners and clients to find it on the World Wide Web.

More than 50 TLDs to select from

But keep in mind that your private or business domain names do not necessarily have to end with .com, where choices are limited. In fact, there is an almost infinite range of domain name extensions to select from, including .MOBI – for mobile websites, .TV – for TV or video-related websites, .NAME and .ME – for personal websites, .CO, .NU and .WS – thought of as .COM substitutes, and virtually any country-specific TLD you can think of. A United Kingdom-based site might gain greater popularity if it employs a .CO.UK top-level domain name extension. However, if your business is in Canada or the States, .CA or .US might be a more intelligent choice.
