Web Services and Internet Business Directory - Domain Names
Domain names are the visible addresses of Internet resources that contain alphanumeric characters followed by a TLD (top-level domain - ie. .com, .net, .org). There are many TLDs now in service due to the popularity of registering domains. Most popular .com and .net domains have already been registered. Some popular TLDs that people now use are .info, .biz, .mobi., .tel.
Most countries have their own TLDs and in many cases proof of affiliation with the country must be shown. Many country specific TLDs have been used for other purposes where proof is not needed: .dj (Djibouti) is frequently used by disc-jockeys audio merchants; .fm (Federated States of Micronesia) is typically used by FM radio stations; .la is supposed to be for Laos but is refered to as the TLD for Los Angeles (.to for Tonga but used for Toronto); .tv is for Tuvalu but is used by television stations mainly.
There are many sites which offer the service of purchasing and registering your own domain name. These are called domain registrars. Depending on the TLD, prices usually range from $1.00 - $25 per year. Domain names must be renewed on an ongoing basis (the user has the ability to set the term) or they will be fed back into the system and available to others. For popular existing domain names, there are domain auctions where the current owner can sell it at a cost which reflects such things as branding, existing web content, age and relevance. This usually occurs when a new business finds out its business name .com has been taken. If branding is not important to them then they will usually forego this and use a different TLD such as .biz or .net.
