Successful webmasters know that multiple domains must be
created for one website – a domain for the major site and several domains as
its variations. After registering a name for the major site, it is essential to
register name variations and other extensions of the major site. This is
because if you don’t do so, others may register them and you may be forced to
pay higher prices for them later. As a result of this, when you register a .com
domain, you should register other extensions like .net, .biz, .info, .org, etc.
and other variations suggested to you at the point of registration. You will
then need to forward these variations to the major site so that anyone trying
to visit any of the variations will automatically land at the major site.
Successful webmasters do this to stop cybersquatters from
wrongly tapping from their online effort. The stock in trade of a cybersquatters
is to register the variations of a popular website with the purpose of selling
them to the owner of the major site or benefit financially from its popularity.
If you are not very smart in this regard, you may lose a lot of money to those
who know how to exploit the World Wide Web better than you. Consequently, you
should protect your website properly and boost its revenue generation
potential.
Moreover, successful webmasters know the difference between
free top-level domains (TLDs) and sub-domains. Top level domains (TLDs) are the common .com,
.net, .biz, etc. websites you see online while sub-domains are created out of
TLDs. For example, big.com, big.net, big.biz are examples of TLDs while
cake.big.com, cake.big.net, cake.big.biz are examples of sub-domains. It is
interesting to note that TLDs are ideal for online businesses while sub-domains
are for online fun seekers.
Successful webmasters are very careful with how they get
their free domain names. The best method is to get free domains attached to web
hosting packages from a reputable service provider. This will give you the
assurance that you are not acquiring a sub-domain which may adversely affect your
online campaign. You too can succeed like experienced webmasters if you care to
know what they know and put it into practice.
