- What is the domain name system?
-
Every computer connected to the internet is identified by a unique IP address (such as 255.132.245.12). It quickly became apparent that these numbers weren't too meaningful and as the net grew in popularity it became important to have more memorable ways of identifying the servers. Hence the domain name - unique identifiers that point to specific IP addresses.
- What does it mean to "register" a domain name?
-
When you register a domain name, you are inserting your details in a 'Registrant' entry in the registry of domain names and their corresponding computers on the Internet, the registration is a 'right to use' the domain name for a given period. This 'right to use' can be transferred or sold to another person, but can be lost if not paid (renewed) every year.
- What domain should I register?
-
Try to go for something memorable and individual. Ideally, register your domain name in as many suffixes as possible to stop competitors registering variations of your name.
- Can I register a 2-letter domain?
-
Two letter .com .net and .org domains were allowed with the Verisign registry. However, upon the transition of the management of .org to PIR (Public Interest Registry) the ICANN agreement placed all two letters domains in a reserved status. Under this agreement no two letters domains can be registered. All two letter domain names that are current and have not been deleted or expired will continue to operate.
