Frequently Asked Questions
A domain name is like an online address for your website. It’s the human-readable name that you type into a web browser to access a specific website. For example, google.com, amazon.com, and wikipedia.org are all domain names.
Why are domain names important?
- Easy to remember: Domain names are much easier to remember than IP addresses, the numerical addresses that computers use to communicate.
- Brand recognition: A good domain name can help build brand recognition and trust.
- Professionalism: A domain name can make your website look more professional.
How do domain names work?
When you type a domain name into your browser, your computer queries a Domain Name System (DNS) server. This server translates the domain name into an IP address, which your computer then uses to connect to the website’s server.
A TLD, or Top-Level Domain, is the last part of a domain name, separated by a dot. It indicates the category or geographic location of the website.
For example, in the domain name google.com, .com is the TLD.
Here are some common TLDs:
- Generic TLDs:
.com: Commercial.org: Organization.net: Network.edu: Educational Institution.gov: Government
- Country Code TLDs:
.us: United States.uk: United Kingdom.ca: Canada.au: Australia.de: Germany
Choosing the right TLD can impact your website’s branding and SEO, so it’s important to select one that aligns with your goals.
A parked domain is a registered domain name that isn’t currently associated with a website or email service. It’s essentially a placeholder, often displaying a simple landing page with basic information or advertisements.
Why park a domain?
- Reserving a domain name: You can secure a domain name for future use, preventing others from registering it.
- Monetizing traffic: Some domain registrars offer domain parking services that allow you to earn money from ads displayed on the parked domain.
- Redirecting traffic: You can redirect visitors to another website, such as your main website or a specific page.
It’s important to note that while parking a domain can be useful, it’s generally not recommended to keep a domain parked for an extended period without any active use. This can impact your domain’s search engine ranking and overall online presence.
Subdomains are like smaller websites within a larger website. They’re created by adding a prefix to your main domain name, separated by a period.
For example:
If your main domain is example.com, you could create subdomains like:
- [invalid URL removed]: For your blog
- shop.example.com: For your online store
- [invalid URL removed]: For your customer support portal
How are subdomains used?
- Organizing content: Subdomains can help organize different sections of your website, making it easier for visitors to find what they’re looking for.
- Branding separate services: You can use subdomains to brand specific services or projects independently.
- Testing new features: Subdomains are a great way to test new features or designs without affecting your main website.
- Hosting multiple websites: You can host multiple websites under a single domain name using subdomains.
Key points to remember:
- Subdomains share the same root domain name, but they can have different content and design.
- Search engines may treat subdomains as separate websites, so you’ll need to optimize them for search engines individually.
- Creating too many subdomains can clutter your website’s structure and confuse visitors.
By effectively using subdomains, you can improve your website’s organization, branding, and user experience.
An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It’s like a digital address that identifies your device on the internet.
Think of it as a postal address. Just as a postal address helps deliver letters to the right house, an IP address helps route data packets to the correct device on the internet.
There are two main versions of IP addresses:
- IPv4: This older version uses a 32-bit address, represented by four numbers separated by dots, like 192.168.1.1. However, with the increasing number of internet-connected devices, IPv4 addresses are becoming scarce.
- IPv6: This newer version uses a 128-bit address, providing a significantly larger address space to accommodate the growing number of internet users and devices.
IP addresses are essential for internet communication, enabling devices to send and receive data packets across the network.
DNS, or Domain Name System, is essentially the internet’s phonebook. It translates human-readable domain names like google.com into machine-readable IP addresses.
How does it work?
- Query: When you type a domain name into your browser, your computer sends a query to a DNS resolver.
- Resolution: The resolver contacts a series of DNS servers to find the IP address associated with that domain name.
- Redirection: Once the IP address is found, your computer is directed to the correct server to load the website.
Why is DNS important?
- User-friendliness: It allows us to use easy-to-remember domain names instead of complex IP addresses.
- Website accessibility: It ensures that websites can be accessed reliably and efficiently.
- Email delivery: DNS plays a crucial role in email routing and delivery.
In essence, DNS is the backbone of the internet, making it possible for us to navigate the vast digital landscape with ease.
