What are Domain Names

A domain name can make or break a web site. Get it right and everyone will memorize it forever, get it wrong and they will never memorize your website's name. Therefore, you should settle on a domain name that is directly associated with the topic of your web site, your own personal name or your company's name. For example, the website of Ferret Hosting – a well-known ICANN-appointed domain name registrar and web hosting provider, is https://wordpress-i7gyo.wasmer.app. This domain name is instantaneously associated with the company's name and with hosting solutions in general, rendering it easy for the company's business partners and customers to discover it online.

Over 50 Top-Level Domains to select from

But bear in mind that your personal or business domain names do not mandatorily have to end with .com, where options are limited. As a matter of fact, there is a practically endless choice of top-level domain name extensions to select from, including .MOBI – for mobile web sites, .TV – for multimedia websites, .NAME and .ME – for personal sites, .CO, .NU and .WS – thought of as .COM equivalents, and practically any country-specific TLD that crosses your mind. A United Kingdom-based site might gain higher popularity if it uses a .CO.UK Top-Level Domain. However, if your business is in Canada or the USA, .CA or .US might be a more sensible choice.
