Domain Registration and Website Hosting

What is Domain Registration and Web Hosting Service?

A quick search on Wikipedia will tell you that Domain Registration is the process of acquiring a domain name from an organization or commercial entity that manages the reservation of Internet domain names – like getting a newborn’s name registered on a birth certificate. A domain name should not only be easy to recall, but should be simple to type. Web Hosting Service on the other hand, allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible through the internet – like your local statistics office.

 

Why is domain registration important?

Each website is assigned an IP address and remembering one is almost impossible. Domains are like shortcuts that people can easily remember. It is more than just a shortcut because it provides name recall for your business, too, if you’ve chosen a good one. There is a very thin line between strong online presentation and getting buried in the internet. This is why it’s important to put a lot of thought and research on choosing a domain.

  1. Your business benefits from name recall. The easiest your domain is to remember, the more traffic you’ll get.
  2. Private domains gives credibility to the services and products you provide. It shows how established and systematic your system is.
  3. Domain names plays a big part in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), where it helps your website or content to show up in every search engine.
  4. Serves as an advantage with marketing attracting walk-in customers to trust you.
  5. Registering your own domain support your brand advocacy. It promotes loyalty and accessibility to your existing customers.

There are many other ways on registering a domain, especially if this is part of a package or internal arrangement as part of outsourcing. This is the standard step by step procedure if you want to register on your own.

  1. Settle on a domain that you’d like to use.
  2. You will need a credit card of Paypal account for paying your domain.
  3. If you have a web host, you’ll need the names of their primary and secondary nameservers. You’ll need the information to point your domain name to your website after you buy your domain.
