What is Domain name ?.

What is Domain Name ? A name by which a computer connected to the Internet is identified. A typical domain name looks like this: www.ibm.com. The "www." refers to the fact that this computer is connected to the World Wide Web; the middle portion of a domain name is usually the name of the company that owns the computer—in this case,IMB ; the final portion of a domain name tells you what kind of site is served by this machine—in this case, ‘.com’ means this is a commercial site...

What is a Yahoo domain ? A Domain Yahoo Name is very similar to an address forwarding service. The Domain is the address people type in their web browser to get to your web site. The Domain Yahoo Name then points to the "real" address that contains your web site.

Domain name

Domain name

Domaining is sometimes a business for some people and sometimes it is a hobby for the others. The real domaining is an art, that very less people have the knowledge of. The work and efforts that some domainers are putting is real worth it. the competition is tough enough already in the market. Still there are some gems left and the person who can spot a gem is the winner in the end.

The art and the talent comes from reading and testing in real time rather then just hearing the wonderful stories that we hear everyday that some domain name got sold for thousands of dollars.

There are many online resources that do allow users to share their previous experiences and you can learn easily from reading it rather then just jumping right into the business and then learning it the hard way. For example I did visited a http://www.nameslot.com sometime ago that had plenty of resources on domain names and investing into the right domain names. They do have a buy and sell section and tips section where senior members share their ideas and let the new people learn from the mistakes that they have committed in the past.

This does save you lots of time and is also beneficial financially as you don't waste your time pondering on other things and you can start right on with the real things that does have value in the today's market.

Overview Domain Name

The most common types of domain names are hostnames that provide more memorable names to stand in for numeric IP addresses. They allow for any service to move to a different location in the topology of the Internet (or an intranet), which would then have a different IP address.

By allowing the use of unique alphabetical addresses instead of numeric ones, domain names allow Internet users to more easily find and communicate with web sites and other server-based services. The flexibility of the domain name system allows multiple IP addresses to be assigned to a single domain name, or multiple domain names to be assigned to a single IP address. This means that one server may have multiple roles (such as hosting multiple independent Web sites), or that one role can be spread among many servers. One IP address can also be assigned to several servers, as used in anycast and hijacked IP space.

Hostnames are restricted to the ASCII letters "a" through "z" (case-insensitive), the digits "0" through "9", and the hyphen, with some other restrictions. Registrars restrict the domains to valid hostnames, since, otherwise, they would be useless. The Internationalized domain name (IDN) system has been developed to bypass the restrictions on character allowances in hostnames, making it easier for users of non-English alphabets to use the Internet. The underscore character is frequently used to ensure that a domain name is not recognized as a hostname, for example with the use of SRV records, although some older systems, such as NetBIOS did allow it. Due to confusion and other reasons, domain names with underscores in them are sometimes used where hostnames are required.
