What is a Domain ?

A domain or domain name is your personal address at the internet. It is comparable with a physical address.

What are the advantages of having your own domain ?

• Professionell presence on the internet with your own domain name.
• Your internet service (e.g. web site or web shop) is accessible with your personal domain.
• By choosing a memorable domain name it makes it easier for people to find you and use your web presence on a regular basis.
• With your website and your mail addresses you do not depend on a specific provider which is the case in the event of toll-free offers.
• Your own personalized mail accounts (e.g. firstname@YourName.com) can be set up.
• Once you have registered your domain name, during the period of registration the domain is owned by you, no one can take it, nor we, your domain registrar partner.
• The domain owner has the exclusive right of disposal.

What does a domain consist of ?

A complete domain name consists of, beginning on the right-hand side, root- 0, top- 1, second- 2 and third-Level domain parts 3. All these domain parts are separated with "dot". Each domain name commences on the very right with the so called root-level domain but there is no need to list the root level including dot due to the fact that the root-level domain compared to the top-level domain does not have a label.

What to consider when choosing your domain name ?

• Choose a name which describes your business, products or services best.
• The shorter and more memorable you choose your domain name the better !
  At least your choosen domain (mostly a second-level domain part) should be composed of 3 characters !
• Upper and lower case letters can be mixed up within your domain name !
  That means, related to your marketing plans there is no restriction concerning the typeface that may be used - no restriction just on lower case letters.
• Who is your target audience ? Do you focus on a national (e.g. .at, .de, .ch, .co.uk, .es, .bio, etc.)
  or international (e.g. .com, .net, .eu, .biz, .info, etc.) target audience ?
• If you wish that your website is also shown in geographic search engine results then a domain of your country (or in combination with a generic domain) might be necessary.
• Is the domain name you wish to register already a protected label or brand ?
• Finally it needs to be checked if your desired domain name is still available.
  For that purpose please use our Domain Check Service below !
