How vital can an top domain be?

One of the most essential preconditions for running a successful web presence is the domain. It is what visitors will mark first when they come across your web site and what they will identify you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that tells your web page's visitors what the web site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)

A domain usually consists of two fragments - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain. There are a few groups of Top-Level Domains that you should contemplate prior to selecting the domain name you desire. Your selection should be based on the goal of your web page and on its target audience. Let's take a look at the gTLDs, or generic TLDs - these are the most popular TLDs aimed to designate a given function - .com (commercial enterprises), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (companies), .info (informational web pages), .org (non-profit organizations), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia-Pacific), .name (individuals or relatives), .pro (given professions), etc. As you can see, these Top-Level Domain Names cover most realms of life, so you should settle on the one that would designate the intention of your web site best. There is no restriction as to who can register such TLDs, but some of them include additional procedures to show that you qualify to keep such a Top-Level Domain (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code TLDs, are country-specific domain names. Each country has its own ccTLD. Getting such a Top-Level Domain is good if your target group of web page visitors is from a given country. Many people would sooner purchase goods or services from a local web site, and if your goal is Canada, for instance, selecting a .ca Top-Level Domain could increase the visits to your web site.

Domain Forwarding

You can register several Top-Level Domains, which can send your website's visitors to a particular web site such as domain.com, for example. This would raise the traffic and reduce the chance of somebody snatching your visitors by using the same name with a different TLD - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Every Top-Level Domain Name has domain records. The name server records (NS records, aka DNS records) demonstrate where the domain name is hosted, in other words they point to the hosting company whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is using now. You can substitute the DNSs of your domain name whenever you wish. You can have your domain registered with one provider and get the web page hosting service itself from another. Therefore, if you register your domain name and find decent website hosting packages someplace else later, you can point your domain to the present provider's NSs straight away.

Domain Name Server Records (DNS Records)

On the whole, as long as your domain name utilizes a particular set of DNSs, all its DNS records will point to the same website hosting distributor. Some site hosting firms, though, permit you to edit specific domain name server records, among them the A records and the MX records of your domain. The A record is an IP address, which demonstrates on which web hosting server your site is situated, while the MX records reveal which hosting server handles the mail accounts associated with your domain name. For example, if you hire a new web page designer and he constructs an .ASP site that will be hosted on his personal Windows web hosting server, you may wish to modify just the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. So, www.domain.com will direct to the Windows web server, but your e-mailboxes or any sub-domain names like forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your present Linux hosting account. The .ASP environment is created by Microsoft and necessitates a Windows web server, although a Linux server would be way more stable.
