Domain-the ultimate step by step guide, what a domain name is and how do they work?

In simple language, the domain name is the name of your website. By which any person reaches your website after searching. Whenever you buy a domain name, it is aligned with an IP address. It gets saved in your DNS. This way whenever someone searches your domain name on their browser. So the browser connects it with your IP address and presents your website in front of the reader. In simple language, the name of your website is the domain name.

If you had to search for any website in the initial phase of Internet, then for that you had to enter a specific number. Like 12.34.567, you had to remember all the numbers in this way. Whichever website you had to visit. Had to remember his number. But it is very difficult to do this because the human mind cannot remember such a string. That is why the domain name was invented by some company. In this, each domain name is aligned with a number. For example, suppose you study in a college and your roll number is your IP address and your name is your domain name. Similarly, today when we select a domain name. So the DNS aligns it with the number. In this way, when you search any website in your door, you enter its domain name and the browser brings you the result by finding the IP address of this domain name. If we talk about the Internet today, domain names are given for common people to search for websites and computers are given IP addresses to interact with each other. In this way, it has become very easy to access the internet today. Only two computers can communicate with each other through an IP address, so an IPS is given for each domain name. Which registers in your DNS. Domain plays an important role after hosting. 

Types of domains?

basically, there are mainly three types of domains.

Top-level domain known as TLDs.
Country code top-level domains known as CCTLDs.
Generic top-level domain

Top-level domains

Top-level domains

This type of domain hits globally. Because whenever someone searches by putting any keyword in their browser, only the top-level domains are shown by Google. That's why it helps a lot in SEO. Whenever you take a domain name, keep in mind that it is a top-level domain. Because these domains are first shown by Google or by any other search engine. That is why their demand is high. That's why many times you cannot get your favorite domain name from you. Because it gets registered in someone else's name. So you have to choose another name. That is why whenever you choose any domain name, do good research for it first so that you do not face any problem in future.

DOMAIN NAME	PURPOSE
Com	Mainly for commercial entities, but unrestricted
ORG	Originally for organizations not clearly falling within the other GTLDs, now unrestricted
NET	Originally for network infrastructures, now unrestricted
GOV	Governmental use, but now primarily for US governmental entities and agencies
EDU	Educational use, but now primarily for US third-level colleges and universities
MIL	Military use, but now primarily for the US military only

Country code top-level domains

Country code top-level domains

These are also the top-level domains, but they are set for a particular country. They also hit globally, but it is known from their domain that this website belongs to the Specification Country. This reduces the bounce rate of your website. Because from the user's view, it is known that this website is for this country only. Which helps your website to rank. There are different codes for different countries. So it helps you rank in your country. Which benefits you a lot. If you take a country code with a top-level, then your domain is first shown by Google. Whenever someone searches for a keyword in your country, your domain comes up.

Generic top-level domain

Generic top-level domain

These are very targeted domains, but from the point of view of the SCU, they are very neem domains. These domains are reserved for a particular organization, territory, province, city or community. Whenever you take a new doming, then keep this domain at last. Because this type of domain is shown at the end by the search engine. Which can have a very bad effect on the traffic of your blog? That is why whenever you take a new domain, keep it at the end of them. If you buy this type of domain name, then in future you may face difficulty in getting it ranked.

unrestricted generic top-level domains

Domains of this type are rarely used. Because these types of domains are mostly used by a particular person or on behalf of a particular organization. Getting this type of domain ranked is very difficult. This type of domain name is globally unstructured, and it fits globally. But they are shown at the end by search engines. But if someone searches these websites, then they come first.

For example:-

unrestricted generic top-level domains

.BIZ

.INFO

.NAME

.NET

sponsored generic top-level domains 

A sponsored top-level domain (STLD) is one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet. Generally speaking, a sponsored TLD is a specialized TLD that has a sponsor representing the narrower community that is most affected by the TLD, while an unsponsored TLD operates under policies established by the global Internet community directly through the ICANN process.

TLD	ELIGIBILITY
.APP	DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES

Geographic generic top-level domains

Geographic generic top-level domains

A geographical top-level domain or geographical TLD is a top-level domain (TLD) that represents a geographical or regional area. An example would be.ASIA, which represents the Asian continent, or.NYC, which represents New York City. All geographical TLDs consist of at least three or more characters. geographical TLDs are different from country code top-level domains (ccTLD). CCTLDs are only two characters and represent countries based on ISO country codes. geographical TLDs can represent cities, provinces, territories, continents, and more. They are considered generic top-level domains (GTLDs) and as a result, they are typically not given regional targeting by search engines. FOR EXAMPLE:-
