Domain Names Explained

A domain can make or break a web site. Get it right and everyone will memorize it for good, get it wrong and they will never memorize the name of your website. Therefore, you should settle on a domain that directly reflects your web site's topic, your personal name or your company's name. For instance, the website of STS Internet – a renowned ICANN-appointed domain name registrar and shared web hosting provider, is https://stsinternet.com. This domain name is immediately associated with the name of the company and with web hosting services in general, rendering it easy for the company's partners and clients to find it on the Internet.

Over 50 Top-Level Domains to select from

But don't forget that your personal or corporate domains do not necessarily need to end with .com, where choices are restricted. As a matter of fact, there is a practically boundless variety of domain extensions to choose from, among them .MOBI – for web sites intended for mobile device use, .TV – for multimedia web sites, .NAME and .ME – for personal websites, .CO, .NU and .WS – thought of as .COM analogs, and virtually any country-code Top-Level Domain that comes to your mind. A UK-based site might gain higher popularity if it employs a .CO.UK TLD extension. On the other hand, if your business is in Canada or the States, .CA or .US might be a more sensible choice.
