What are Domain Names

A domain name can make or break a web site. Get it right and everybody will remember it for good, get it wrong and they will never memorize the name of your site. So, you should think of a domain that is directly related to the content of your site, your own personal name or your company's name. For example, the website of Alula Hosting – a renowned ICANN-authorized domain registrar and shared web hosting provider, is http://alulahosting.com. This domain is immediately associated with the company's name and with web hosting solutions in general, making it easy for the company's partners and customers to discover it on the web.

Over 50 Top-Level Domains to pick from

But remember that your personal or corporate domains do not necessarily need to end with .com, where choices are limited. As a matter of fact, there is a practically endless choice of TLD extensions to pick from, among them .MOBI – for web sites intended for mobile device use, .TV – for TV or video-related websites, .NAME and .ME – for personal web sites, .CO, .NU and .WS – considered as .COM analogs, and practically any country-code top-level domain name that crosses your mind. A UK-based web site might gain greater popularity if it uses a .CO.UK TLD. On the other hand, if your business is in Canada or the United States, .CA or .US might be a smarter choice.
