Acquire and use a domain name

♠ Posted by Unknown in at 22:35
The domain name is registered for one or two years in a registry, the official index for extension type. It is possible to register the domain at the registrar for a longer term in the registrar account only.
There are several "registries" extension managers, managed by different organizations in a TLD, the top-level domains.

The dictionary will give you the definition of terms such as registrar, TLD, redirects, delegation, etc ...

The choice of domain name


A domain name should be easy to remember, and therefore either be short or correspond to a common formula.
But how is formed a domain name and its extension, the TLD, are of importance on the results of search engines.

If your hosting is shared, so if you are hosted by a vendor space, know that all extensions are not always accepted .... Com, net and org are not a problem. Other extensions like info, biz, fr, etc. had can not be supported for a particular cause or a premium offer.

The extension or TLD (Top Level Domain) is taken into account by search engines, including Google. A site in FR arrives in a better position to search in French (or in France).

The name must have more than one letter. ICANN banned domain names in the same letter if there were some exceptions: I.NET, Q.COM, Q.NET, X.COM, Z.COM and G.COM, the latest being Google.

Before bringing a domain name, see the section on SEO and positioning.

Selection extension


It is generally preferred .com extension, because it is supposed to extend default by Internet users. But be aware that just as .net, .org, .name, .jobs, .tv, .cc, .com is under the jurisdiction of the USA. So the field can be seized by US authorities (just ask the registrar), even if you live on the other side of the world and make hosting your website.
So before starting an activity such as online gaming especially, think about this. Even if your activity is legal in your country, it may not be in the USA!

We took the habit of using extensions country because they have meaning, for example me (me, actually Montenegro) co (commercial, in fact Colombia).
But some are dangerous. For example Nigeria (domain ng) with a long history of misuse of names, such diversions are made by the management body itself, the Nira.

7 Extended appeared January 29, 2014: .bike, .clothing, .guru, .holdings, .plimbing, .singles and .ventures.
Many more are coming. On 10 June 2014, the .uk extension is available to replace .co.uk.

Domain Name and Brand


In fact we must avoid having a brand name in a domain name and a social name or a surname. But one area filed prior to the filing of a trademark can not be questioned by the possessor of it and even the brand name may be challenged.

Judgments in different cases. (JDN)

DNS - Domain Name Server


To change the DNS, and to manage by your host (and not by the Registrar):
- Your host should provide you with a Primary DNS and Secondary DNS. (Eg dns1.scriptol.fr and dns2.scriptol.fr).
- Go to the administration panel at the registrar and enter the two DNS.
- Go to the administration panel at the host and enter your domain name.
It takes at least 24 hours for the redirect becomes available.

Some sellers (not listed here) proposed the "park" your domain name is reserved, but not associated with your host or IP address. Some registrars (not listed) are paying the DNS change. This is equivalent to the parking.

DNS Report is a web service that verifies that the DNS are correctly configured and that the field is carried on accommodation.

URL forwarding (rerouting, score) on a site


To reroute the domain name, the DNS must remain in management by the registrar:
- Go to the redirection administration panel at the registrar and enter the URL of your site, for example: http://www.example.com/.
- Wait at least 24 hours.

If the domain is redirected by the use of frame, it will appear in the browser's URL field, not the target. It will not be taken into account by search engines.
It is possible if one has a small hosting space to redirect the domain to another by a rule of .htaccess file (unix) specifying a 301 or 302. In this case the source domain will be ignored only the target will appear and will be taken into account by search engines.

Transfer registrar


The domain transfer from one registrar to another is by application to the new registrar.

A transfer is permitted under certain time within a period of one or two years of the deposit of the name. When the domain renewal proposed by the current registrar, it too late for a transfer to another registrar.
Some registrars refuse the transfer of a domain to another registrar (not listed below), but it is not legitimate according to the rules of ICANN.
It should start by checking the status in the whois database. It can be: ACTIVE or REGISTRAR-LOCK. We can also meet CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED which is equivalent to LOCK.
OK does not mean ACTIVE. A status not "active" makes the transfer impossible, but you can change the status in the admin panel.
You will be contacted by the two registrars if the email address of the contacts is yours and you must answer within 5 days.

Conditions to check for transfers:
- Domain created there are more than 60 days and not renewed within the last 46 days.
- Domain expires in 30 days for some registrars, but there is no delay in this direction for ICANN. The transfer may even be beyond the expiration date.
- Email addresses valid contacts (check the whois database).
- Domain unblocked status "active" and not "lock". This does not apply to EN, EU, BE.

Also the way in the domain type, and lower references.

The owner of transfer rules are similar, but should instead check email contact owner.

Contacts

Four contacts are defined for a domain and appear in the whois when the information is not hidden.

Contact owner (owner-c)

It gives the name, address and email of the owner or domain name holder. It has full authority over the area and only may allow the transfer of ownership.

The administrative contact (admin-c)

It has the ability to change the registrar (not owner) and the information associated with the domain, including DNS and other contacts. It is he who is contacted by email when changing registrar.

The technical contact (tech-c)

It can change the DNS, so associate the domain accommodation. It may be the registrar itself. It manages the DNS problems.

The billing contact (bill-c)

It receives the bills and can not change when the domain.

The main registrars


A domain name is essential for the future of a website is a component of SEO.

The second market


Next to the registration and management of domains, many derived activities have developed ...

Resales areas Sedo, Afternic, BuyDomains, DomainNameSales. (Afternic and SmartNames were bought by GoDaddy).
Expired domains, recovery: NameJet, SnapNames, Pool.
Parking monetized: InternetTraffic, Yahoo, Sedo.

Advice


Besides the main registrars, many offers are available (though endangered), but check some points.

Parking

By park means to a blank page or a publicity list. In both cases it should be avoided. The page will be seen as undesirable or unnecessary by the search engines that will long before the scanner again.

Multiple domains

Since taking into account the canonical attribute, if the URL of all pages is defined by the attribute, there is no downside to using multiple domains for one site.

Renewal at risk

A domain name is renewed after a year or two years, less a period of 1 or 2 months.
A record of more than two years offers no guarantee, you will not be saved to the Internic for more than a year or two and if the registrar disappears, you lose the bet.
You must renew the registration exclusively from the original registrar and no one else. A scam example is "Domain registry of America" ​​that asks you to renew a domain purchased at her hand, which in the best case later force you to transfer the domain home.

Transfer impossible

There are a number of tricks that are used to prevent applicants from leaving the house, and transfer their domain to another registrar, cheaper. Suppliers in the above list does not resort to such practices.

Customer poaching

The company Domain Registry of America was sentenced in the US following a complaint from Register.com. However, it continues to send to the owners of the name of an official-looking letter inviting area to pay to renew their domain with their services (less advantageous terms) into thinking that this is part of the renewal process normal domain.

Statistics and new extensions
