amar, Domain registration is the process by which a company or individual can secure a website domain, such as www.yoursite.com. Once you have completed domain registration the domain becomes yours for the period of the contract, usually one year. Before registration expires it must be renewed, or the domain reverts back to being available to the general public. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) manages the international Domain Name Server (DNS) database. ICANN insures that all registered names are unique and map properly to a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. Domain registration is available to the public via a registrar. Fees and services vary from company to company, but the process is generally inexpensive. Before a domain registration can be approved, the new name must be checked against existing names in the DNS database. The online registrar provides a field into which you can enter your desired name and hierarchy —- that is, the letters that come after the "dot." Familiar hierarchies are .com, .net, .org, .name, .info and .biz. If the name is not already taken, it is available for domain registration. Domain names can be registered through many different companies (known as "registrars") that compete with one another. A listing of these companies appears in the ICANN.org website. as per is tips or stuffs are concern, though there is no any guideline or law is defined, but it is recommended that you take the most appropriate hierarchy, for example, if your website is personal, take it as .in, or.net, or something. if it's for an organization, take it as .org, if it is for commercial use, then take as .com, .bis, etc. further, you need some logical skills while naming your domain, taking care that it's unique, appropriate acording to your plot, and easy-to-remember. hope it helped somewhat. regards, prateek agarwal. skype: prateek_agarwal32 website: http://www.prateekagarwal.webs.com

Hello Accessindians, This time I have query related to domain registration. I know, that web hosting services give you the option to purchase a domain. But, my question is, that is there any one company which manages all the domains? And, what should we keep in mind while purchasing a domain? Technically what should we look while purchasing a domain. If there is not any one company which looks all about the domain, then when choosing a company for domain registration, what should we look at? Can someone provide me any link say to wikipedia or anything which can give me complete detailed knowledge about domain registration and everything related to domain? Your help is expected soon.
