DNS is like an index of books in a library or a telephone directory which helps you to look up phone numbers. DNS stands for the Domain Name System.

An IP Address looks like this: 123.456.78.00. When a website is registered and hosted, a unique IP Address is assigned to it. Servers recognize your website only because of this IP Address. What is a Domain Name? An IP Address is not easy to remember. People will also not be able to relate a brand name or business name with an IP Address, hence we have domain names. A domain name has two parts-the name and the extension, separated by a dot.

Thu, 25 Nov 2010 13:16:16 -0500

Once upon a time, having a website was considered to be fancy and websites were a luxury. However, today it is necessary to own a website. Most businesses today have websites.

Cover the bases: If you are registering a domain name, then it makes sense to register as many extensions of that name as you can. For example, if you register only mybusinessdomain.com, there could be some other company that registers mybusinessdomain.org. This could lead to serious competition that could have been avoided if you had registered all the extensions. 2. Park them together: If you have a name with different extensions or if you register many names at once, then it makes sense to park them together with just one service provider. This will make it easy to organize and control them. 3. **End Summary** Topics: domain]]> domain names]]> domain name registration]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Tanya Smith is an expert on domain registration and web hosting at Ballistic Domains, USA.

Thu, 25 Nov 2010 12:33:07 -0500

If a person decides to register a domain name, he cannot do so by himself. He needs to take the help of a registrar. A Domain Name Registrar is an organization that enables a person to register a domain and acts on behalf of the consumer to help him acquire it. The registrar is given the authority by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) or by a country's national authority to do so. This involves a lot of functions. The registrar needs to check if the name is available in the first place and is not registered to someone else. The Registrar should make sure that all the information of the registrant is collected and submitted to ICANN. It also allows the transfer of the domain between two registrants. The registrar also helps people to protect their contact details from spammers by either offering proxy or third party registration services. All the people who register domains with a registrar make their contact details available on the Internet through the WHOIS database. A simple WHOIS search will give out these details unless some privacy settings have been put by the registrar. A registrar will let you 'lock' your name. **End Summary** Topics: domain]]> domain names]]> domain name registration]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Tanya Smith is an expert on domain registration and web hosting at Ballistic Domains, USA.

How to Back Order Domain Names

Thu, 25 Nov 2010 00:19:32 -0500

Many times it happens that people want to obtain a certain domain name but they cannot do it because it is already owned by someone else. In such cases the domain registry back orders the domain name so that they can acquire it for their client as soon as the domain name expires. Back Ordering a Domain Name means blocking or booking a domain name so that the person can buy it as soon as it expires or as soon as the current owner decides to sell it. However, there are some situations when a domain name cannot be back ordered. One cannot back order a domain name if the original owner of the domain name has renewed it before the deletion period. It cannot be back ordered if it is in the temporary hold status. Domain names that are in a dispute because of trademark issues also cannot be back ordered.
