Next Step Is Choosing Domain Name

What Is Domain Name?

Domain (domain area) - a hierarchical system of domain names on the Internet, which has a unique name.
Domain name - the unique name you choose for your website. It can consist of Latin letters, numbers, dashes and dots.
Domain zones can can be of several levels (1,2,3, etc.). First-level domains do not have the name and address just a point (. Com,. Ru).
It can't be registered.Decision to introduce a level domains takes a special international organization ICANN.

Domain zone is divided into three groups:
1. Common use:
. com - commercial organizations;
. net - organizations working with the Internet;
. info - Information Resources;
. biz - business organization;
. org - nonprofit organizations;
. tv - television studios, television companies;
. name - individuals.
2. National:
. ru - Russian domain zone;
. us - United States;
. fr - France.
3. Special:
. mil - military organization;
. edu - educational institutions;
. gov - government agencies.

Second-level domain - this is the site's name before the dot. For example, casualty.us :
. us - indicates that the site is in the domain zone of USA;
casualty - second-level domain.
A domain name can be registered by anyone. The choice of the domain zone is determined by the intended audience. That is, if you plan to promote your site in USA, then it is desirable to register a domain name in the zone. us.
If you have a second-level domain, you can create an unlimited number of third level domain names, the so-called sub-domains. For example, I can open a forum on this blog and call it forum.casualty.us or ranking of blogs with the name rb.casualty.us. In this case, the forum. and rb. are third level domains. As we can see from the examples, each domain nameconsists of domains separated by a point and arranged in reverse order: last is first level domain, in front of him - second, etc., thus form a hierarchical system of domain addressing, DNS (domain name system).

Domain names in the form to which we are accustomed to, are created only for the convenience of users. Because the addressing of nodes on the Internet is performed by IP-address, which is difficult to rememeber. It consists of four segments, each of them - these are numbers from 0 to 255. For example: 213.180.194.129. In order to link the IP-addresses and domain names, there are special correspondence tables, which are called servers, DNS. In the settings of your computer to be recorded at least one such server. When you type in the address bar of your browser site address, the computer accesses the server DNS. If he does not know your preferred IP-address, he turned to the nearest server, and so on, until the IP will not be transferred to you and to your computer.
