Web Services >> Domain Name Registration
There are many domain name extensions, some are international, like .com .biz .net or .info, others are local, indicating that the business is operating in a specific country e.g. ".ie" (for businesses registered in Ireland) or region e.g. ".eu" for businesses operating in the European Union. Some domain extensions indicate that the domain is designed to be displayed on a specific device e.g. ".mobi", reserved for domains specifically designed to be viewed on mobile phones and "Palm-type"devices.
The most popular domain extension is by far ".com" , followed by ".net" and ".co.uk".Each country has at least one domain name extension, some countries have more than one e.g Poland. Poland has 2 country specific domain names; .com.pl and .pl. Some countries have restrictions as to who can register a domain with a country extension e.g. Ireland, China. The extension is restricted to the entities registered or residing in that country.

Selecting
a domain name
for your website is not an easy task. Although a domain name can be up to 63 character in length excluding the extension such as .com, for most websites the names longer than 25 characters including the extension, are not recommended. Long domain names are more prone to being misspelled, are more difficult to remember and they don't work very well in email addresses. They also don't fit in forms, on billboards, or in Google PPC Ads (maximum 25 characters per line).Good domain name should be short, memorable, not easily confused, relate to core business of your company or brand.
