How valuable is to find cheap domains?

One of the most vital prerequisites for building a successful online presence is the domain name. It is what visitors will see first when they stumble upon your website and what they will link you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that informs your web page's visitors what the site is about.

Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)

A domain name traditionally contains two constituents - a Top-Level Domain Name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain Name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain. There are a couple of sets of TLDs that you should consider prior to choosing the domain name you want. Your decision should be built upon the aim of your site and on its target audience. Let's take a glimpse at the gTLDs, or generic TLDs - these are the most typical Top-Level Domain Names intended to designate a given function - .com (commercial entities), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (corporations), .info (informative web pages), .org (non-profit organizations), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific region), .name (persons or relatives), .pro (given professions), and so on. As you can perceive, these TLDs cover most fields of life, so you should settle on the one that would signify the objective of your web site best. There is no restriction as to who can register such TLDs, but some of them involve extra steps to show that you are eligible to register such a Top-Level Domain Name (.mobi and .pro, for instance).

Country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)

The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domains, are country-specific domain names. Each country has its own ccTLD. Opting for such a domain is good if your target group of website visitors is from a given country. Many visitors would sooner buy commodities or services from a local website, and if your aim is Canada, for instance, selecting a .ca domain could boost the visits to your web site.

Domain Redirection

You can register several domains, which can send your web page's visitors to a certain web page like domain.com, for example. This would raise the traffic and lower the likelihood of somebody pinching your web site visitors by registering the same name with a different Top-Level Domain - if you are not availing of a trademark.

Name Servers (NSs)

Every Top-Level Domain has domain name records. The name server records (NS records, aka DNS records) display where the domain name is hosted, i.e. they point to the web hosting provider whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is using at present. You can swap the name servers of your domain name whenever you want. You can have your domain registered with one firm and get the web site hosting service itself from another. Thus, if you register your domain and encounter good website hosting services somewhere else at a later time, you can point your domain name to the current company's DNSs at once.

Name Server Records (DNS Records)

On the whole, as long as your domain name uses a certain pair of name servers, all its domain name records will point to the same webspace hosting provider. Some web page hosting vendors, though, allow you to edit specific records, including the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which displays on which server your website is hosted, while the MX records show which server tackles the e-mail address accounts associated with your domain name. For example, if you engage a new web designer and he build an .ASP web page that will be situated on his personal Windows server, you may desire to alter just the IP address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain name. Hence, www.domain.com will direct to the Windows web server, but your mailboxes or any sub-domain names like forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your current Linux web hosting account. The .ASP environment is designed by Microsoft and demands a Windows server, although a Linux hosting server would be far more reliable.
