Author: albernbrooke | Posted: 30.12.2011

Every web hosting venture requires at least one domain to be effective and functional. For every domain identified for every web venture, there must be a corresponding domain registration. A domain registered on the Internet is to allow web users to visit that website and consider its products and service offerings.

Costing

There are costs involved in any domain registration. It may cost as much as $30 for a domain registration. More domains will cost more to register; hence, many prudent web business owners would opt for cheap domain registration to enjoy some savings. However, one must look out for domain registration discounts and promotions that can go as low as below $8 per domain.

Different domains

Domain registration is required for all types of domain such as .net, .org, .com, .us, .gov and others. Each domain type will have different domain registration costs. These different domain types are names given to mask the Internet Protocol (IP) address which is assigned to the particular web server.

Hence, web business owners must choose the best of names to represent the right type of business in that particular environment. Instead of using complicated numbers that are difficult to remember, a catchy and relevant name is used to represent the domain to enable more web users to visit the site.

There are different meanings to the different domain names identified in the Internet world such as .Com which represents commercial businesses, .Net which represents network management entities, .org which refers to non-profit institutions and organizations, .gov which represents government institutions and .Mil which represents military forces. 

Now more and more domain environments have sprouted up to cater to various types of entities in the cyber world such as .info, .biz, .us, .tv and .Name.

Specific Domain Registration

There are specific guidelines that must be followed when it comes to any domain registration. For example, a .Net domain registration is meant only for an Internet Service Provider, value added services provider, network service provider, Data transmission services provider or a special Telecommunications service provider.

There must be a domain registration copy with the proper federal authorities to ensure a smooth domain registration. A letter of intent is required which should list the services offered with a legal representation.

Similarly, .edu domains are reserved for education institutions, technical or vocational training schools, preschools and research institutions as recognized by the federal government. Any other type of organization not in the education environment is not allowed for an edu domain registration.
