Domain Names Explained

A domain name can make or break a web site. Get it right and people will remember it forever, get it wrong and they will never memorize the name of your site. Therefore, you should opt for a domain that is directly associated with the topic of your web site, your own personal name or your company's name. For example, the web site of Alishan Hosting – a renowned ICANN-certified domain name registrar and website hosting provider, is https://alishanhosting.com. This domain name is instantaneously associated with the name of the company and with hosting solutions in general, rendering it easy for the company's business partners and customers to discover it on the World Wide Web.

Over 50 Top-Level Domains to pick from

But keep in mind that your personal or corporate domain names do not necessarily have to end with .com, where choices are restricted. Actually, there is a practically endless array of Top-Level Domain extensions to choose from, including .MOBI – for websites intended for mobile device use, .TV – for television or video-related web sites, .NAME and .ME – for personal websites, .CO, .NU and .WS – thought of as .COM alternatives, and practically any country-specific TLD that crosses your mind. A UK-based site might enjoy greater popularity if it employs a .CO.UK top-level domain name extension. On the other hand, if your business is in Canada or the States, .CA or .US might be a more sensible choice.
