Domain Names Explained

A domain name can make or break a web site. Get it right and people will memorize it forever, get it wrong and they will never remember the name of your website. Hence, you should settle on a domain name that bears direct relevance to the content of your web site, your personal name or your company's name. For instance, the website of Quintiva – a popular ICANN-recognized registrar and shared web hosting company, is https://host.quintiva.net. This domain is immediately associated with the name of the company and with web hosting solutions in general, rendering it easy for the company's business associates and clients to find it on the World Wide Web.

More than 50 TLDs to choose from

But don't forget that your personal or business domains do not necessarily need to end with .com, where choices are limited. Actually, there is a practically unlimited selection of Top-Level Domain extensions to select from, among them .MOBI – for mobile websites, .TV – for media sites, .NAME and .ME – for personal sites, .CO, .NU and .WS – considered as .COM alternatives, and practically any country-specific top-level domain name you can think of. A UK-based web site might enjoy greater popularity if it uses a .CO.UK top-level domain name extension. On the other hand, if your business is in Canada or the United States, .CA or .US might be a more reasonable choice.
