What is a Domain Name and what you can do with one?
A domain name is the first part of a website address after the www. You enter this into a web browser (e.g. www.mydomain.com) to find a web page on the internet. It is also the last part after the @ sign in an email address. Domain names are useful for business and personal use - for having your own website, online shop and email address.
You can do a lot with a domain name, from creating your own personal email address to building a website. To get the most out of your domain name you will need a Web Hosting package to get the website online.
What is a TLD and which should I choose?
TLD stands for Top Level Domain, and is the extension following the final dot in a domain name. e.g. The TLD in www.chriswebsitecreantions.co.uk is .co.uk.
There are different types of TLDs:
Generic Top Level Domains (gTLD)
For example .com .gov these are typically used for organisations
Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLD)
For example .uk for the United Kingdom
Unsponsored Top Level Domains (uTLD)
For example .biz .info are used for various different services
The choice of TLD is really down to your preference - .com is often seen as international whereas .co.uk is seen as UK only. You may find that the most popular domains are already taken. Registering several types of domain name can be a good idea though, as it stops other people from registering your name and leaves it ready for you to use either right away or in the future.
