 Domain Name

Domain Name is the web address of a website.

We will need a domain to create a website.

To get own domain name, we need to register it with a domain register. 

Examples for domain register : 

• GoDaddy
• Name Cheap 
• Domain.com

Domain name extension is the last part of a domain name.
for example, In www.infoctech.com, the domain extension is .com

Top level domain(TLD) is the part that comes after the final dot in the domain name.
for example, In www.infoctech.com, the top-level domain name is com.
In my_domain.co.lk, the top level domain name is lk

Category of  top level domain
Generic top-level domains(gTLD)
 Most common domains :

• .com
• .org
• .net
• .info 

Generic-restricted top-level domains
Generic-restricted top-level domain names are similar to the generic top-level domain, only eligibility is intended to be restricted and ascertained more stringently.

• .Name
• .Biz
• .Pro

Sponsored top-level domains(sTLD)
These domains are proposed and sponsored by private agencies or organizations that establish and enforce rules restricting the eligibility to use the top level domain. 
IANA also groups sTLDs with the generic top-level domains.

• .edu
• .gov
• .coop
• .int

IANA Global coordination of the DNS root IP addressing andother internet protocol resources is performed as the  Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions.

Country code top-level domains(ccTLD)
Theses are generally used for a specific country or dependent territory.
All ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs.

• .lk for Srilanka
• .in for india
• .uk for UnitedKingdom

Reserved top-level domains
IANA has reserved some top-level domains for a range of purposes including infrastructure, testing, and support of international organizations. 
For example, internationalized top-level domains have been reserved by IANA for testing internationalized domain names. 


To build a website, we need a web hosting account.After opening web hosting account, you will need to update our domain name's DNS settings so that it points to your website. 
You can use your domain to create multiple email accounts.
For example if you have a business, you can create email accounts each staff.
Number of email accounts depend on the hosting plan.

Web Hosting 

Web hosting is a service used to put your website in the internet.
It makes your website available for world wide users.
The ways to host the website :
Host the website yourself
For this you will have right equipment,the web server and permanent connection to the internet.
You would need to ensure that your Internet service provider (ISP) allows this type of usage too.
You would also need to have website administration skills such as managing/configuring a web server, patch management, firewalls, virus protection etc.

Find a hosting provider to host your website
This is the most common choice for web hosting.
Using a third party hosting provider allows you to concentrate on developing your website, and leave the hosting tasks up to a company who specializes in web hosting. 

 Create the website

You can use your own codes to create the website or create by using the website builders
