A domain name is an address the public will use to locate your web site and to find information about your products and services on the internet. Anyone thinking about establishing a web presence needs to register a domain name first.
Anyone thinking about establishing a web presence needs to register a domain name first. You don't have to utilize it right away, but you can reserve it for your future use since good names are hard to come by.
All domain names make part of one central global registry on the internet. Like TJ-Hosting there are many companies who provide domain name registration services. If the name you searched is available you can register it as a domain name and no one else can register that exact same name! "Registering" a name means you own that domain name for the term of the registration.
TJ-Hosting fully automated registration and processing system (powered by OpenSRS™) allows us to provides the most competitive prices while enabling us to stay focused in providing superior customer service and support.
It is not possible for someone else to register the exact same domain name you have registered at TJ-Hosting because the availability of domain names is verified through a central global registry. The central registry prevents a domain name that is successfully registered from being registered by another person or entity.
There are many ways to use your domain name. The most common use of a domain name is for a web site may it be personal or for business. Your domain name is also used to create personalized e-mail accounts, example yourname@yourdomain.com. You can also hold on to your domain name for future use or at anytime decide to sell your domain name.
To use your domain name for your web site you will need to point your domain name to the servers your web site will be hosted on. This is done by requesting the DNS from the ISP you will being hosting your web site with and changing the DNS settings. It takes approximately 24-48 hours for DNS settings to be updated when you provide the DNS settings for the first time.
A domain name is not a web site, It's an address someone uses to find a web site. If you have a web site you need to change the DNS settings for your domain name so it can point to the server where your web site is being hosted. Within 24-48 hours after you provide the DNS settings, your web site will be accessible to anyone in the world to see, including you by typing your domain name into a browser.
