What is a domain name? IDGlobal foreign service provider registered domain name

Whether it is an enterprise or an individual, if you want to display or promote on the Internet, you need to build your own website. Only after you have your own website can you have a stable business platform and window. The first step in building a website is to register a domain name of your own, so what is a domain name? Based on what criteria should we register our first domain name, should we find an overseas service provider like IDGlobal or a service provider in mainland China?

1. What is a domain name?

A domain name is the name of a computer or group of computers on the Internet, consisting of a string of letters or numbers separated by dots, used to identify the computer's electronic location (and sometimes geographic location) during data transmission. This explanation is too eloquent. Let us explain it in a language that ordinary people can understand: the domain name is the website address. For example, Baidu's domain name is baidu.com, and the domain name of IDGlobal's domain name hosting service platform is IID.HK.

We all know that websites are built on servers, and each website will be assigned an IP address. The earliest websites are accessed through IP addresses. However, because the IP address is inconvenient to remember, and the IP may be changed due to the server change, the user cannot find the website, so the domain name came into being. The domain name can be bound to the IP address of the website through technical means, so that as long as we visit the domain name, we can open the website directly. Even if the website changes the IP address, we are not afraid, as long as the domain name is re-bound, our users will not notice anything.

Popularly speaking, a domain name is equivalent to a house number, and others can easily find you through this number. Every domain name is unique. There are no duplicate domain names in the world. Because of this, high-quality domain names have become a scarce resource. The rarer a good domain name is, the more precious it is. Because the domain name has a validity period, it is not owned for a long time after registration. The default renewal period of each domain name is 1 year. Many people forget to renew because of too many domain names, or give up renewal for some other personal reasons, then the domain name will fall. At this time, whoever is the first to successfully register will become the new owner of the domain name, and the former owner cannot get it back, and then he can sell it at a high price through the domain name trading platform to obtain hundreds of times, thousands of times of huge profits. As a result, an unpopular industry called cybersquatting has also emerged. Many people have accumulated a lot of wealth through cybersquatting and reached the pinnacle of their lives. For example, Cai Wensheng, the well-known founder of Meitu, was first dug through cybersquatting. The first pot of gold.

Second, how to choose a domain name:

1. Try to choose mainstream suffixes for domain names:

Well-known suffixes such as .com/.cn/.net/.cc/.org. .com is currently the most widely popular general domain name format in the world, with more than 110 million users worldwide. All international companies register a .com domain name.

.com will be better. The international domain name suffix is ​​universal, so there are more people who use it. Everyone knows it. .cn is a domestic domain name suffix. If it is a domain name with the same prefix, you should register com first. If you buy it, com must be more expensive. If the .com domain name is not available, you can choose another suffix.

2. The domain name prefix should be easy to remember:

The best domain name has a meaning: A domain name with meaning such as baidu.com can be used for searching and can be linked to “Zhongli Xunhe Qianbaidu”;taobao .com is used for e-commerce, and it is used to find cheap goods at a glance; toutiao.com is very suitable for news information

Short domain names are better: Short domain names such as 58.com, jd.com, 163.com, very short and easy to remember;

The domain name is suitable for you: Now there are basically no short domain names, we can choose a distinctive pinyin when registering, although it is relatively long, it is also easy to remember, such as: mogujie. com (Mogujie), feifanmei.com (Extraordinary Beauty), pinduoduo.com (Pinduoduo). Although such a domain name is long, it is also very memorable. At present, many personal blogs also use this domain name. For example, personal websites such as lusongsong.com and chukuangren.com also Can be remembered at a glance.

Third, how to choose a domain name registrar

We know that the Internet management methods of each country are different, so we recommend that you register your domain name with an overseas domain name registrar such as IDGlobal. The content of domain name restrictions is relatively loose
