What is a domain name?
The domain name is a unique name that is used to identify an internet resource such as website. Or explained simply this is the text that you put in your web browser to go to a web site. Your business needs a domain name so your customers can find you and interact with you online. Some examples of domain names are google.com, aol.com, bbs.co.uk and so on. A domain name can only have characters, number and dashes in it.
What is TLD?
TLD is short for top level domain. It is what you see after the dot in a domain name. For example .com for commercial business, .gov for the US government and so on. Here is a full list of all available TLDs updated by IANA from time to time, but it is the most accurate one. You can find many TLDs available in the big registrars like GoDaddy.
What is domain registrar?
A domain name registrar is an organization or commercial entity that manages the reservation of Internet domain names. A domain name registrar must be accredited by a generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry and/or a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registry. (as taken from Wikipedia) The registrars are where you go to buy your domain. It is very important to use a trusted company to buy your domains from, since they are your most valuable digital asset.
TIPs
Pick a registrar that works best for you in terms of price and support and buy all your domains from them for easy management. Ideally the registrar that you choose:
- will not have any hidden fees
- offer free email whois privacy and data protection so you are not spammed to death
- gives you direct access to your whois records (so you know the domain is in your name), access to your domain authentication code and registrar lock and total control over your DNS settings
