What is domain name? Domain name is your website
address or URL on the Internet. You need domain
name to create identity for your business or
personal websites on the Internet.
For example, google.com represents Google
business, on the other hand domain narendramodi.in
 represents the personal website. It is the
unique address of your site on the internet and
it will be yours as long as you continue paying
the annual fee (Rs 500 - Rs 900 for .com domain)

Why do I need domain name? On the Internet, your
website gets identity through domain names. If
you are planning on launching new business
website or starting a personal website investing
on a good domain name is must.
Getting a domain name, website and email
addresses helps you to reach more visitors
online. It can be used as an important marketing
tool that can help customers find and identify
with your business. Domain name registration is a
way to protect your business name, copyrights,
trademarks and build online brands

How to choose right domain name for your website?
Choosing a right domain name is like naming your
business and it needs a lot of thought. Your
domain name is your identity on the web you want
to make sure you choose a name that not only fits
your business or purpose, but is also easy to
find and promote. Weve got few guidelines for
you that will help your domain name search
process.
6
Brandable domain names Brandable, meaning when
you hear the domain name, does it sound like a
brand, or does it sound like a generic? Lets
try this, take two domain names google.com and sea
rchengine.com, which one do you think brandable
or cachy to remember? We would probably stay away
from something like a YogaPosesOnline.com. Easy
to pronounce If you can't easily say the name
and others are not easily understand domain name,
it's very difficult to memorize the name and make
it brandable. Keep it short When picking a
domain name it is best to keep it short and
simple. You can go for one word and two words
domain name which is good. Try to select domain
name under 12 characters or less.
7
Avoid numbers and hyphens You need to avoid
mixing numbers and hyphens while naming your
domain. Lets see some examples Mybusiness123.com
or my-business.com Wed avoid such names because
it looks spammy and not brandable Using broad
keywords If you want to include keywords in the
domain name, you can but with pinch of
salt. Think about a brand like an flipkart.com,
which clearly has no association with what it is,
or Google itself, Google.com. These are very,
very well-branded and associated with their
niches, but they don't necessarily need to have a
keyword richness to them. Avoid trademarked
names Avoid all popular brands, copyrighted or
trademarked names in domain names. You can never
fight with big boys and confuses visitors too.

How to choose correct domain extension?
Domain Extension Domain Names are divided into
three broad categories. You need to choose domain
name with extension from Top Level Domains (TLD),
Country Based domain names ( ccTLD) and topic
specific groups (gTLD). Let us explore each group
of domain extensions.
9
Top Level Domains (TLDs) When the Internet
started, these are the most popular and original
domain extensions available .com, .net, .org,
.int, .gov, .edu, and .mil. These Top Level
Domains are reserved for certain government
groups but .COM has been very popular for
public. As you may aware, Its not that easy to
get desired domain under .COM extension. Country
Code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) Almost every
country has its own domain name extension.
com.au (Australia), .cn (China), .in (India), .jp
(Japan), .ph (Philippines), and co.uk (United
Kingdom). If your business services are country
specific these domains will be better option for
you. Actually, Google search engine gives more
importance to ccTLD domains in local search
results. Generic top-level domains
(gTLDs) Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are one
of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs)
maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name
System of the Internet. These domains including
.accountants, .tech, .online, .web, .agency,
.business, .city, .digital, .photography, and
.social. Having said that, you have like 200
extensions to choose from if you wanted to. Here
is the official domain names list from IANA, You
can find all domain extension list http//data.ian
a.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
10
Prefer popular extensions like .com and .IN We
would say give first preference to top-level
domains (TLDs) like .com if you are going global.
India's Domain Registry If your business is
serving to local Indian market, then register
domain in India with .IN ( Indian ccTLD Domain)
will be good choice. For Example, we
use FastWebHost.in for India and FastWebHost.com f
or global business.
11
How to check domain name availability?
Domain Checker Every domain registration
services provider gives you ability to search for
domain names you are looking for. Domain names
are unique in each domain extension as we
discussed earlier. We at FastWebHost.in provide
free domain search tool here  When you type in
your desired domain name and select extension,
our tool will display results. You can see which
domain extensions are available for
registration.  You can do unlimited domain name
searches until you get domain name you wanted.

Where to buy domain names in India?
Domain Name Registration India Once you've
determined whether your domain is available, you
can buy a domain in India from FastWebHost.in.
You may think why FastWebHost?. We have been in
domain registration, renewal and transfer
business since 2001. When you are building online
business website youve got to have reliable
service provider for domains and hosting
services.
13
We highly recommend keeping domain names and web
hosting services with one provider as it
simplifies DNS management and ease of
operations. Most of the domain names can be
registered from Rs 500 to Rs 900 per year but you
may need to pay extra for few new domain
extensions. You can register domain names from
minimum 1 year to maximum 10 years as per IANA
policies.
Free domain registration vs paid domain
registration Free domain registrations do have
their place but we would never put much time or
effort into them because of the risk of them
getting deleted. The things you post on free
domains doesn't belong to you. And if your site
grew, ultimately you may need to get a paid
domain name to run the business. We would advise
buying a paid domain, since it will increase the
perceived value of the website. For just Rs 500 a
year, it's the choice to go with. Tip We at
FasWebHost.in provide Free Domain Name as a part
of web hosting plan so you wouldnt worry about
Free domain registration limitations.

Domain name search WHOIS
What is WHOIS? WHOIS isnt an acronym, though it
may look like one. In fact, it is the system that
asks the question, who is responsible for a
domain name or an IP address? Every year,
millions of individuals, businesses,
organizations and governments register domain
names. Each one must provide identifying and
contact information which may include name,
address, email, phone number, and administrative
and technical contacts. This information is often
referred to as WHOIS data. But the WHOIS
service is not a single, centrally-operated
database. Instead, the data is managed by
independent entities known as registrars and
registries". Whois Lookup Whois Lookup tool
allows you to check to see who has registered any
domain name. If the domain name is available, you
can register it through FastWebHost.
15
Domain name registration details A WHOIS search
will provide information regarding a domain name,
such as example.com. It may include information,
such as domain ownership, where and when
registered, expiration date, and the nameservers
assigned to the domain. There are a variety of
third parties who may check domain names in the
WHOIS check database, including Individuals
check domain names for expiration
dates Registrars check domain names when
transferring ownership Authorities check domain
names when investigating criminal
activity Public WHOIS Database Listing If you're
comfortable with having your information
available to the public FastWebHost will submit a
public listing to the WHOIS lookup database. This
listing will include your name, address, phone
number, email address and domain name expiration
date. Your website hosting IP address and host
name will also be listed.
16
How to protect my domain name WHOIS?
WHOIS Protection Service Having your personal
information made available to the public will
increase your risk of becoming a victim of
hackers, spammers and even data miners. To keep
your contact information out of the hands of
those who may use it maliciously, FastWebHost
offers private domain name registration. For a
small annual fee, we'll act as your proxy which
means that anyone who does a WHOIS lookup for
your domain name information will find our
contact information, not yours.
