Domains Defined

A domain can make or break a web site. Get it right and everyone will remember it for good, get it wrong and they will never remember the name of your website. Hence, you should settle on a domain that has direct relevance to your website's subject matter, your own personal name or the name of your company. For example, the web site of – a popular ICANN-certified domain registrar and shared web hosting company, is https://soswebdevelopment.com. This domain is immediately associated with the name of the company and with web hosting solutions in general, making it easy for 's business associates and customers to find it online.

50+ TLD extensions to pick from

But don't forget that your private or corporate domains do not necessarily need to end with .com, where options are limited.

A United Kingdom-based website might enjoy higher popularity if it employs a .CO.UK top-level domain name. On the other hand, if your business is in Canada or the States, .CA or .US might be a finer option.
