Domain names are the unique addresses that identify a website on the internet. In other words, a domain name is the address people type into a web browser address bar to find your website.

Domain name types

Top-level domain (TLD) refers to a domain name’s suffix or last part (e.g., .com, .net, .org).

Country code top-level domain (ccTLD): is a two-letter domain extension, such as .us or .ph, assigned to a country, geographic location or territory.

A whois proxy, or domain privacy service, allows individuals or businesses to hide customer contact in the public whois database. Instead of displaying the actual registrant’s information, the proxy service substitutes its own, ensuring the domain owner’s privacy. Active whois proxy prevents registrant email to receive spam like unwanted marketing/advertisement emails.

Registering a domain name can vary depending on the domain extension (TLD/GTLD/ccTLD). Generally, the following are common considerations:

Eligibility

Some domain extensions may have specific eligibility requirements. For example, certain country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) may be restricted to entities within or associated with that country.

Character limit

Most domain names have a maximum character limit, typically around 63 characters (excluding the TLD). However, shorter domain names are often preferred for practicality.

Allowed characters

Domain names typically include letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens. Hyphens cannot be placed at the beginning or end of a domain name, and two hyphens together are not permitted.

Restricted terms

Certain terms may be restricted due to trademark issues or policies set by the registry. Additionally, offensive or inappropriate terms may be prohibited.

Note: Domain names are registered on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability is subject to the existing registrations.
