What is a Domain Name?
- True Domain Name Example: www.yourname.com
- Subdirectory Name Example: www.someISP.com/yourname
- Third level Domain Name Example: yourname.someisp.com
Why register a Domain Name?
- Domain names are allocated by Register.com
(for .com) and Domainz (for NZ extensions)
on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a domain name has been reserved,
it is no longer available. The most popular and easily-remembered domain names
are being reserved daily by aggressive companies and prudent businessmen/women.
- In the near future, only obscure domain names will be available to the general
public.
- A good domain name creates inherent value for the organisation. Domain names
that reflect the name of the actual organisation (eg. microsoft.com,
ibm.com) or the role of the organisation (eg. carsearch.com, gifts.com)
are an invaluable asset to their company.
- As the Internet grows and domain names become more scarce, premiums for
existing domain names will increase significantly. Already, many of the great
names have been snapped up and are awaiting the highest "bidder."
- Custom domain names, like vanity license plates, are much easier to remember
than ordinary Internet addresses resulting in greater recognition and more
traffic to your site.
