- What is a Domain name?
A Domain name is your company's online identity. It is the address at which internet users find information about your company and business on the web.
Domain names allow Internet users to type in a name, such as www.tatacommunications.com, to identify a numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address such as 202.71.129.42. The purpose of Domain name is to allow users connected to the Internet the ability to find web sites without having to memorize the long, numerical (IP) addresses that actually locate the computers or servers on the Internet.
- Why do I need a Domain Name?
- Domain names can be used to establish a unique identity in cyberspace.
Companies often choose a Domain name that corresponds to their company name. For instance, In2biz web site is www.tatacommunications.com. Anyone thinking about establishing a presence on the Internet should register a Domain name.
- Domain names can be used to give you a unique, permanent email address like yourname@yourDomain.com
- To promote or display your company or business information inform of your website, which helps to overcome the geographical boundaries and reach out to larger world audience.
- What are the valid characters for a domain name and how long can a domain name be?
The domain name must conform to Standard rules for domain names:
- Only characters in the range of A to Z, 0 to 9 and hyphen are allowed for example www.mycompany-123.com
- Names cannot begin or end with a hyphen for example www.-mycompany123 is not acceptable.
- You can use UPPERCASE or lowercase letters when registering a Domain name, but you may occasionally run into problems if you mix cases, depending on the exact configuration of the web server that will be hosting your website.
- The easiest way to make sure your Domain name will not cause you any problems later is to register it using all lowercase letters
A Domain name can contain up to 67 characters. Some top Domains from specific countries have additional limitations on length and on the number of characters in a Domain. Some even specifies a minimum length for a Domain name, such as 3 characters or more.
