Domain Name Registration and Privacy


When you register your first domain name, you get your introduction to one of them. There’s a lot of information they want. Your name, your email address, your physical address, your phone number. For each of 4 separate categories, and the Registrant, Admin and Technical categories are publicly available

Email addresses, phone number and physical addresses must be valid. Once again the right to privacy of law-abiding individuals is being abridged supposedly to help catch lawbreakers. Since this information would be provided under a court order making it publicly available just invites abuse.

Spammers, scammers, stalkers and the idle whacko can easily get this information. The result is an increase in the amount of spam. So, there are two ways to protect your privacy if you are a private individual without access to a legal entity:

First a proxy registration is one alternative. You make binding legal agreement with a company which will register the domain name as if they owned it and then provide their own information to meet the requirement. For each domain, they will set-up a special email which they will monitor and forward to you, usually after spam filtering, if you want them to.

They retain your data and will also monitor physical mail. You will be notified of first class mail which appears to or could be legal documents or if registered or couriered mail arrives.

The other alternative is called “private registration”. Here your name would still appear as registrant. You would provide the names of the admin and technical contacts. But the address, email and phone number would be provided and monitored by the organization handling the private registration in essentially the same manner as a proxy registration. Thus with this alternative you remain in full legal control of your domain name since it is registered in your name rather than the name of a proxy.

If you decide to pursue a proxy or private registration, make very sure that you are working with a legitimate company with a track record. A domain name can be a very valuable possession. Both your registrar and, if it’s a separate organization, the entity that does the proxy or private registration must be quality, legitimate outfits. Registrars offering extremely low prices which are way out of line with the going rates – unless it’s a special – just might be after your credit card and identity.

DOMAIN NAME


A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of authority, or control in the Internet. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS). Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing purposes. In general, a domain name represents an Internet Protocol (IP) resource, such as a personal computer used to access the Internet, a server computer hosting a web site, or the web site itself or any other service communicated via the Internet.

Domain name is basically divided 3 subordinates levels these are called sub domains. The first-level set of domain names are the top level domains example of these domains are com, net, and the country code top level domain etc. The second and the third level domain names are typically open for reservation by end-users that wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, create other publicly accessible Internet resources or run web sites. The registration of these domain names is usually administered by domain name registrars who sell their services to the public.

An important function of domain names is to provide easily recognizable and memorizable names to numerically addressed Internet resources. This abstraction allows any resource to be moved to a different physical location in the address topology of the network, globally or locally in an intranet. Such a move usually requires changing the IP address of a resource and the corresponding translation of this IP address to and from its domain name.

Domain name registration with a registrar does not confer any legal ownership of the domain name, only an exclusive right of use.

The rapid growth of the network made it impossible to maintain a centrally organized hostname registry and in 1983 the Domain Name System was introduced on the ARPANET and published by the Internet Engineering Task Force.

Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers manages the top-level development and architecture of the Internet domain name space. It authorizes domain name registrars, through which domain names may be registered and reassigned.

A domain name consists of one or more parts, technically called labels that are conventionally concatenated, and delimited by dots, such as example.com.

  • The right-most label conveys the top-level domain; for example, the domain name http://www.example.com belongs to the top-level domain com.
  • The hierarchy of domains descends from the right to the left label in the name; each label to the left specifies a subdivision, or sub domain of the domain to the right. For example: the label example specifies a node example.com as a subdomain of the com domain, and www is a label to create http://www.example.com, a subdomain of example.com. This tree of labels may consist of 127 levels.
  • A hostname is a domain name that has at least one associated IP address. However, other top-level domains, particularly country code top-level domains, may indeed have an IP address, and if so, they are also hostnames.
  • Hostnames impose restrictions on the characters allowed in the corresponding domain name. A valid hostname is also a valid domain name, but a valid domain name may not necessarily be valid as a hostname.

Few companies have offered low-cost, below-cost or even cost-free domain registrations with a variety of models adopted to recoup the costs to the provider. These usually require that domains be hosted on their website within a framework or portal that includes advertising wrapped around the domain holder’s content, revenue from which allows the provider to recoup the costs.

Multiple Domain Hosting


A multiple domain hosting plan is a type of hosting plan which allows multiple domain names to be attached and allocated to separate portions of the hosting.  This can be accomplished on webhosting services which provide the appropriate software and hardware requirements to allow clients to partition their hosting plan to be shared between the domains.  The several domains can also share all of the resources of the hosting plan but access information only available within a certain folder available somewhere within the hosting.

It is fruitful for the people who buy large bandwidth as well as disk space; however, unable to make full use of the facilities. Multiple Domain Web Hosting Services offers a centralized website as well as options for organizing all the domain names; moreover, this kind of solution allows the customer to park domains.

Multiple domain hosting is different from having multiple sub domains.  A sub domain is a folder or portion of the hosting where another website is stored and can be accessed through various means.  With multiple domains hosting completely unique websites can be attached to a single hosting plan under a single price.  It is important to understand when a hosting company is trying to market their services as unique domains or sub domains which can really confuse consumers.  Some hosting companies also misuse the term “multiple domains” in their hosting plans to make it possible to redirect multiple domains to a single hosted website.  It is up to the client to understand what the hosting company is trying to sell them before they make a purchase.

Actual multi domain hosting provides two separate control panels for each domain. Also, individual logins, tools and email accounts accompany these accounts. Data transfer quotas and disk space can also be allocated to specific accounts. Although maintenance is much more labor intensive, there is a great deal of flexibility when creating different domains since each have their own settings.

Multiple domain hosting is by far the most effective and affordable method of hosting a number of domains. If you were to find a hosting provider for each domain account, maintenance would be tremendously difficult and monthly costs would be through the roof. Luckily, a consolidated effort has been created to ease wear on the servers and provide an affordable option to webmasters.

Defining (DNS) Domain Name System


The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated Internet Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember “handle” for an Internet address. The Domain Name System is one of the most critical parts of the Internet. It resolves URL names (such as site.com) into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and vice versa. This enables Internet browsers to search for websites based on the machine address without the user being aware of translating the domain name into the IP address. As such, the DNS is crucial to the widespread success and implementation of the Internet.

A common criticism of the DNS in the early days was that the system was too complex and would never work. The creators of the DNS responded by saying that the system had to be flexible enough to handle what was then a small amount of traffic and the much larger amounts they foresaw as the Internet grew.

DNS server can ensure that the information being sent and received is valid. This strategy is not limited to attacks on IP verification alone, but also is capable of protecting various types of information, including email, from fraudulent substitutes, even DNS hosted services. While such substitutes are not often particularly sophisticated, they can represent a serious threat to any set of DNS solutions, and should be handled on the DNS server itself by default by DNS Management Tools.

The process of securing and provisioning a central statistical security scheme for a DNS system is based on caching verified data and checking back with a master registrar for versions and mechanisms when necessary. If asked, a DNS server should be able to begin by responding to the claim with an overall standard response, only providing alternate results in the case of exceptional delegations of functions. In order to properly ensure the correct results, a delegation signer must have a record in a central location that can be accessed securely by the DNS security system.

A registry operator, also called a network information center (NIC), is the part of the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet that keeps the database of domain names, and generates the zone files which convert domain names to IP addresses. Each NIC is an organization that manages the registration of Domain names within the top-level domains for which it is responsible, controls the policies of domain name allocation, and technically operates its top-level domain. It is potentially distinct from a domain name registrar.

You will get lots of free things with while registering domains. The free services with the new domain name registration are as:

Domain names are also known as hostnames and each domain has a suffix attached to it.

EMAIL DOMAIN HOSTING


A mailbox is an area on a server where messages sent to an email address arrive. They are held in the mailbox for you to read later. Every email address has its own mailbox.

When you get email hosting from email hosting provider each email address also includes a mailbox on our servers. You can check for new messages either by logging in with software like Outlook Express, or by using their webmail service.

An email hosting service is an Internet hosting service that runs email servers.

Email hosting services usually offer premium email at a cost as opposed to advertisement-supported free email or free webmail. Email hosting services thus differ from typical end-user email providers such as webmail sites. They cater mostly to demanding email users and Small and Mid Size (SME) businesses, while larger enterprises usually run their own email hosting service on their own equipment using software such as Microsoft Exchange. Email hosting providers allow for premium email services along with custom configurations and large number of accounts. In addition, hosting providers manage user’s own domain name, including any email authentication scheme that the domain owner wishes to enforce in order to convey the meaning that using a specific domain name identifies and qualifies email senders.

Most email hosting providers offer advanced premium email solutions hosted on dedicated custom email platforms. The technology and offerings of different email hosting providers can therefore vary with different needs. Email offered by most webhosting companies is usually more basic standardized POP3 based email and webmail based on open source webmail applications like Horde or SquirrelMail. Almost all webhosting providers offer standard email hosting.

Personalized email to your domain name will manage email, tasks, contacts and calendars in one location.

You can access your email account from any internet connection

These email hosting solutions are compatible with third party email clients, which means you can add mailboxes from other email accounts like Google©, GMX© or Yahoo©, and import your contacts from your favorite social networks like Facebook©, XING© or LinkedIn©.

Basic features of email hosting are :

1. Storage per mailbox 1GB 2GB
2. Attachment size 10MB 50MB
3. Email Access
4. Works with Outlook
5. IMAP Support
6. POP3 Support
7. SMTP
8. Check Webmail Anytime

All these features are provided at very low price.

INTERNET DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION


A domain name is your address on the Internet. Like any address, it is important for the success of your business that you use, promote and protect it so that customers can find you easily. More than this, your domain name is your online-identity and brand – your customers won’t just know you as Your Company Inc., they will know you as “yourcompany.com”.

Domain names were developed to make it easy for people to find things on the Internet. Computers find each other by using a set of numbers called an IP Address (IP is an acronym for Internet Protocol), these look like 69.72.214.243. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a set of software and a computer that translates domain names into their matching IP addresses and vice versa.

The domain name must conform to Standard rules for domain names:

  • Only characters in the range of A to Z, 0 to 9 and hyphen are allowed.
  • Names cannot begin or end with a hyphen.

The maximum length is 63 characters (exclusive of the .com, .org, .net portion).

You can get a Domain name registered from one of the Domain name registrars. The pricing for Domains varies from registrar to registrar. Some registrars dupe their customers by charging exorbitant fees for domain registration. Sometimes they charge $ 35 per year. Some others can offer you the same domain at $ 7.99. It does not matter which registrar you choose to get your domain registered. As ultimately the domain records are going to be held by the registry.

A domain name is a combination of two or more words. The last word is called “Top Level Domain”. A Top-Level Domain (TLD) is the suffix that is attached to the end of a domain name. For instance, in the domain name, netlynx.com, “.com” is the TLD. Generic Top Level Domains (gTLD) such as .com, .org, .net, can be registered by anybody. To the left of TLD comes “Second Level Domain”(SLD). E.g. in ‘netlynx.org’, netlynx is the second level domain; ‘.com’ is the TLD. One can also have ‘domains.netlynx.com’; here ‘domains’ is called the host name or “Third Level Domain”.

Domain Registration is the term used to describe the process of acquiring a domain name from a domain name registrar.

Any entity such as Individuals, Organizations, ISPs, Corporate, Resellers, etc in any type of profession can register a domain to get recognition on the Internet.

You can register a domain name from a minimum of one year to a maximum of ten years.
