Domain Names Explained

A domain name can make or break a website. Get it right and people will remember it forever, get it wrong and they will never remember the name of your website. Hence, you should opt for a domain name that is directly connected with your web site's topic, your personal name or your company's name. For example, the web site of Ion Web Hosting – a renowned ICANN-accredited domain registrar and web hosting company, is https://sites.ionlineyou.com. This domain name is instantaneously associated with the company's name and with web hosting solutions in general, making it easy for Ion Web Hosting's business associates and customers to find it online.

Over 50 TLDs to choose from

But don't forget that your personal or business domain names do not necessarily have to end with .com, where options are restricted. In fact, there is a practically limitless selection of top-level domain name extensions to pick from, among them .MOBI – for sites intended for mobile device use, .TV – for media web sites, .NAME and .ME – for personal websites, .CO, .NU and .WS – considered as .COM substitutes, and virtually any country-specific domain that crosses your mind. A UK-based site might enjoy greater popularity if it uses a .CO.UK Top-Level Domain. On the other hand, if your business is in Canada or the USA, .CA or .US might be a wiser choice.
