A Beginner's Guide To Domain Registration

A domain registration is important for all domain owners. It is necessary to register your domain in order to make it available for public access. Registered domains become part of a network. When you register a domain, the name of your website becomes a part of this network.

 

A domain registrar is an organization that deals with the registration of Internet domain names on behalf of its clients. A domain registrar usually has to be certified by an international generic top level domain registry or its own country's top level domain registry. In order to protect your investment, it is advisable to deal only with a highly reputable domain registrar. A good hosting company acts as a domain registrar but it does not actually manage the website.

 

A small business can benefit greatly from the services of a domain registration business. The most important thing is that your website appears at many different places. This helps in the marketing of your product to potential customers from various locations. Your local business is particularly helped when you have international customers because it can offer them the option of ordering online.

 

The first step in domain registration is to choose a name. If you want to save time and money then you can use up to three domain names with one plan. However, keep in mind that if you register more than three domain names with the same provider, then the hosting company automatically renews your registration for an additional fee. The good thing about this is that you have the flexibility of choosing an expiration date based on which you can renew your registration.

 

Many registrars provide free domain registration but there are also many other options. Some of the registrars charge a nominal fee and some of them charge a very high rate. There are many end-user web hosting providers who provide domain registration along with other features like search engine optimization (SEO), site creation, and many more. However, most of these companies charge a monthly fee.

 

After you have chosen your hosting service then you need to set up the website files. All you need to do is copy all files from the installation disc to a webserver on the internet. It is important that all hosting providers provide excellent customer support to answer all your questions and queries related to domain registration. Since most of these websites are static, it is very important that your hosting provider maintains a backup for all website files.
