Choosing a Domain Name:
Selecting a domain name is crucial. It should always match the company's name. If that's not possible, find one with similar characteristics. Choosing a domain name has become quite challenging as most are already registered. The found domain should be easy to pronounce and short, facilitating seamless communication. If you struggle, artificial intelligence (AI) can assist you in finding a unique name.
What is Domain Name Registration?
To own a website, you must first register a domain. Think of domain registration as a service similar to registering a trademark. Registration ensures that the domain you've purchased is recorded in your name for a specified period, protecting it from use by others.
Can Someone Register the Same Name?
Yes, someone else can register the same name, especially if different domain extensions are available. For instance, if you've registered "test.com" and haven't registered "test.gr" or "test.eu," others can register those domains. The domain is retained until it expires, becoming available for others to use.
How is the Domain Name Linked to the Website?
To activate your website online, certain settings must be configured. After registering the domain, the hosting account for the website needs to be set up on a server. Subsequently, DNS addresses are assigned to the domain. Usually, two DNS addresses are provided, redirecting the domain name to the website.
Transferring Domain Name to a Different Server:
When a domain name is registered, it is done through a central management server. In the registration process, a random code is generated, which can be used to change servers. Each time the server is changed, a different code is assigned.
What Happens if I Don't Renew My Domain Registration?
If you don't renew your domain by the exact expiration date, the website and emails associated with it will be deactivated. Essentially, there will be no connection to the server. The domain is lost after a few days, depending on the domain extension.
What are Whois Information?
Whois information includes details about the server and owner of the domain, visible to everyone as a standard. You can protect your information by enabling Whois protection from your domain control panel during and after the order.
What is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL certificate verifies your identity through a check and protects your customer's data with strong encryption. When your website is covered by an SSL certificate, the browser displays "Secure Connection" at the top and is characterized by "https." Visitors can be assured that your website is legitimate and their data (personal information, passwords, credit card details) will not be compromised.
