Online Marketing Glossary: Domain Name
Wednesday

Domain Name:
- Controlled by the worldwide organization called ICANN, domain names are obtained on a first-come basis and are used to identify a unique website.
Okay in plain English, the main part of the URL between the www. and the .com (or .net, .org, etc.) is the domain name. So for this blog, trishalyn is the domain name. There are a lot of different companies that offer domain name registration that are connected with ICANN. One of the biggest ones is GoDaddy, which I’ve had hit or miss luck with. I prefer to buy my domains straight from my hosting company 1&1 Internet due to the ease of connecting the hosting with the domain.

I don't have any beef with 1and1's web hosting. However, I curse the day I ever listed any domains with them. Investigative journalist, Kelli Jack states: “1and1 should be shut down.” The Pennsylvania Better Business Bureau has them listed as “Unsatisfactory” Check out Red Flag for some customer comments.

Wow I'm surprised – I've registered several domains with them and never had a problem. To each their own though!
