Registrators of domain names

April 29th, 2008 by Samuel Becks

Let us consider the scheme of “possession” of domains in order.

Registrators of domain namesChief coordinator of the Internet, distribution and administration involved in IP-addresses, domains and backward domains, is a nonprofit organization IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, the Agency to provide the names and unique parameters protocols Internet). The structure of Internet governance - hierarchical, therefore, not difficult to guess that a tree at the second level are the regional coordinators. These coordinators to date recorded four, and they called Regional Internet Registries (RIR). Among them are ours, the European Organization RIPE NCC (Reseaux IP Europeens Network Coordination Centre, the European Network Coordinating Center). In fact, it not only European, because it deals with the distribution of IP-addresses and domains in the territory that includes Europe, Middle East, Central Asia and African countries in the northern hemisphere. A total of jurisdiction RIPE NCC is coordinating domains and IP-addresses one hundred and nine States. If you are interested in learning more about the regional distribution and the history of these organizations, visit a special section on the site RIPE NCC. At the same site you can see, as coordinator belongs to one country or another.

It is not difficult to see that domain registration services in Beijing offers many more organizations. Among them - secondary recorders, hosting, Internet Service Providers. All of them use the services of one of the official registrars. It is no secret, and not bad as someone may seem. What we generally received when the market has reached a large number of registrars? We should note that most of them offer registration of domain registrars on prices, and many and below. But most importantly, the emergence of many registrars, we have received high-quality service. Now we can not sit on a complex multi-application for registration of domain and poschelkat keys in the web interface and, after registering a domain name and still manage to get a convenient interface. Also, many registrars free prescribe your domain in their name-servers.

Who is to choose among a large diversity of registrators? There are a few tips. If you already have a quality hosting, which you’re happy and who are not going to change, it is logical it would be to shift the care of registration, domain support and linking it with your site for hosting. The more so that most hoster provide such services.

The second option - if you have a leased line from a good provider, you have your own Web server, but you are not satisfied with third-level domain, normally provided by the Internet provider. Then logically would like to register your domain provider. He will make the necessary settings, and pay for a domain name through the Internet service provider you might need, that is as you usually pay for Internet access.

And the last option (it can also be the first:) - apply directly to primary or secondary registrar of domain names. Many firms that specialize in providing specific services like “interception domains”, will also help choose a name for your domain. - In general, all options are good - choose to taste. The main thing is that you are satisfied with the proposed level of services. And if many features, you can always choose the best registrar. At least, from your point of view.

Domain Names: Introduction

April 22nd, 2008 by Samuel Becks

In short, the domain name is a “facade” - call (sequence of words), which enters users in the address bar browsers to visit your site, but which is not a valid address of your site on the Web. Domain names are linked to servers Domain Name Assignment System (DNS), which are used to translate digital addresses (known as IP addresses, or Internet Protocol addresses) in the word. Every site you visit on the Net, except his name is still and digital IP address, which is addressed by this site on the Internet.

Domain Names, .com, .net, .org

Total (generic) Top-Level Domains

Typically, domain names are classified according to their extensions, which represent a domain name identification codes. The three most popular types of Higher Level Domains (TLDs) - This domains, which are not tied to any country:

. COM: Short from. commercial, which means “commercial”. Domain names with the extension. Com on its popularity far exceeds other names and can be purchased by any person or company.

. NET: Short from. network, which translates as “network”. Originally, this domain was created to expand technical websites. But with the expansion of domains can be registered at will.

. ORG: Short from. organization, which means “organization”. Initially, it is intended for non-profit organizations and other organizations that do not use expansion. Com or. Net. Currently, a domain name with the extension. Org can be filed by any person or company.
Domains countries

Domain names can be assigned to the use of country-specific extensions
. Each country has its own domain extension; Canada, for example, uses the extension. Ca, Japan -. Jp and Russia -. Ru. In most countries there are special rules, which describe exactly who can register domain names using this extension, and for what purpose, it is therefore important to examine the object before anything done.
Alternative domain names

ICANN, the organization responsible for the administration of top-level domains across the globe, has recently approved several new extensions, which are not assigned any specific country. Among them:

. aero
. biz
. coop
. info
. mobi
. museum
. name
. pro

Each extension has been created for use for certain purposes and is accompanied by certain restrictions. More detailed information on these top-level domains, you can find at: http://www.icann.org/tlds/
Other domains expand

In searching for a suitable domain name, you can find sites that claim to use such as the expansion. Xxx,. Free and. Mp3. This is not a real expansion and they are approved by ICANN, rather, their availability is guaranteed for the user software. Because ICANN is not approved is not one of these extensions and, in addition, users who do not have the appropriate software, can not gain access to sites with names, the data expansion should only be used for some secondary goals.

While expansion. Com,. Net and. Org usually all on hearsay and the mind are not the only expansion that are available for use. From a functional point of view domains countries work as well as any top-level domain, and the expansion of alternative work not worse. Therefore, do not use the top-level domain mediocrity when you can find better with another extension.

Free Web Hosting: Good or Bad?

At the paid hosting you usually pay for the predetermined set of hosting services. No matter whether you use it or not entirely. Unlikely that the hosting provider will reduce the price of your hosting fare below a certain level if your site unfrequented “spends” a little traffic or other resources. Free hosting sites implies that your fee banner impressions clearly meets the load, and traffic on your web site. Few consuming - little crying. Consuming a lot of - a lot of banners showing.

Try to locate a site on the standard tariff, with traffic hosting 40-50 GB per month for the paid hosting. Rather, the hosting provider starts talk about moving to a dedicated server. In partnership with the hosting provider when it receives revenue from advertising on your website, the problems likely will not. If the host does not want to keep your site for free hosting - this is a sign that the cost and income part of your website, and you are not balanced, for example, unlikely to recoup their site by placing it on the paid hosting, and selling advertising on it. Believe hosting organisation believes these things very well and it is trusted his opinion on this matter. If the placement of the web site does not require you to describe the site - then, the first time you will be looking.  Judging by you for your. Incidentally registration - is part of the business model. Hosts at this point are divided into two categories - with a free registration, and by appointment. In the first case, an easy process to obtain hosting and established system of blocking sites that break the rules. The second - you can never get free hosting for your site. The use of the first method is also often speaks of the additional reserve strength of the resources and equipment from the hosting provider.

And about free hosting sites with banners. Look at the numbers. Now the cost of advertising shown on free hosting sites is about 20 cents for 1000 banner impressions. Consider the cost of 1 GB of traffic for the hosting provider for $ 1. Running a banner accounts for about 200 KB traffic. Placing files under the leap to free hosting, which uses a model with a banner advertising - surest way to make your web site unprofitable for the hosting provider. The response from the host followed immediately. You can also consider hosting such a resource for downloading processor server. One traffic here is no tricks. The idea of following - working scripts, as a result of not issuing pages with a banner, produced as if unpaid. Therefore, the free hosting dislike tops, counters, etc.

Another aspect - promotion of domain name of your site. It is clear that the third-level domain, which provides hosting provider in registration on a free (and at the paid) hosting - his property. Spin this domain is only with confidence in the future and site hosting. The model of such a scenario: the site has not promoted, it consumes little resources and, consequently, if and goes beyond the concept free hosting sites, it often looks to host a “blind eye”. As promotion sharply rising attendance and resource site begins to attract attention to the admin hosting provider. Any withdrawal abroad outlined free hosting service provider, will be punished. Reasonable two exits. First, the constant checking the web site to conform to the requirements and restrictions of free hosting sites.
