Brief Introduction of Domain Registration Process and Overview.

domain name registration and renew

In this article, we will discuss a basic web element which is "Domain name Registration". We found some of our clients have confusion in between domain renew, registration, transfer of a domain, pointing your domain, domain locking, domain parking, domain life cycle and domain operation. Now let's go deeper into this matter to explore it.

What is Domain name:
A domain name is a Web address, such as hostindia.net that is linked to an IP Address (IP Address is a physical point on the Internet). When someone types this domain name into a Web browser, the browser requested to the internet for the same page, then the internet search the IP address integrated into the domain name and then the browser display the web page.

A domain name consists of a top-level and a second-level domain. A Top-Level Domain (TLD) is the part of the domain name located to the right of the dot (in this domain hostindia.net, .NET is the top level domain). The most common top-level domains are .COM, .NET, and .ORG. Some other popular top-level domains are .BIZ, .INFO, .NAME and .WS. The part of the domain name located to the left of the dot “hostindia,” in this case is called the second-level domain (SLD) name. The second-level domain name is the “readable” part of the address and refers to the organization or entity behind the Internet address. Second-level domain names must be registered with an Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)-Accredited Registrar.

If you want to register a domain then you have to search that domain with a Domain Service Provider like Hostindia.net and then if it is available then you can purchase it. If it is not available means someone had purchased it before you. You can find the details of the domain owner, register company and all details with the help of Who.is. However, you can purchase the same domain name with different domain extension if available.

When registrars provide you a domain name, they need to know 3 basic things:

  • What domain name you are securing (yourdomain.com) 
  • Who you are (although you can protect your privacy from the public, the registrar needs to know this.
  • Where you want that domain to POINT (In other words, what web hosting server you’ll be using for your domain.) If you don’t know this at the time of registering your domain, the registrar will either PARK the domain for you or point it to a default setting that you can change later.
Domain Registration:
Domain registration is the process of acquiring a domain name from a domain name provider. By submitting appropriate information and the registration fee demanded by service provider you can able to get a domain name.

Domain Renewal:
Domain renewal is an after the registration process to extend the validity period of the domain name from the same register. In this process domain, an owner can renew the service by paying the demanded money of registrar. However, you can purchase a domain for a long period of time also. Basically, domain renews process happen after one year, but you can renew for a long period of time.

Domain Transfer:
It's a symbol of dissatisfaction of a customer. In this process, you a domain owner can transfer the domain name from one service provider to another. Basically poor service quality or unfair amount is the main reason of any Domain Name Transfer.

Domain Locking:
This a featured service provided by a hosting service provider to lock a domain to prevent unauthorized transfer your domain to another register or web host by "locking" your domain name servers.

Domain Parking:
If someone purchases a domain then it should be pointed somewhere on the internet. Either you can park your domain or your hoster will park your domain for you. You can build a website and host it at any of time. Your service provider park your domain for free.

Domain Life Cycle:
Here is an easy map to make you understand the domain life cycle in a better way:
