What domains are available to register?

If you want to register a domain name for your website, you have many options to choose from. TK Internet Marketing offers a wide range of domain extensions, including gTLDs, ccTLDs and rTLDs. Let’s see what they mean and how they differ.

gTLDs are generic top-level domains that can be used by anyone, regardless of their location or purpose. Some of the most common gTLDs are .com, .net and .info, but there are also hundreds of others, such as .design, .shop and .today. These domains can help you express your identity, brand or niche online.

ccTLDs are country-code top-level domains that are specific to different countries or regions, such as .uk, .jp and .au. Some of these domains have residency restrictions, meaning that you need to live or operate in the corresponding country or region to register them. Others, like .it, allow anyone to register them, but require a trustee service if you are not located in the relevant country or region. And some, like .co, have no residency requirements at all and can be used by anyone.

rTLDs are restricted top-level domains that are reserved for certain types of entities or communities, such as .aero, .edu, .mil, .museum, .name and .pro. These domains require you to prove that you belong to the category or group that they represent. For example, the .name domain is only for individuals, and the .edu domain is only for educational institutions.

You can browse the domain extensions that TK Internet Marketing offers and find the one that suits your online goals best.

Tips for transferring your domain name

Easily transfer your domain by completing the following steps with your current registrar. 

  • Unlock the domain name.
  • Get an Authorization Code (also known as EPP code or transfer key)
  • Verify administrator’s contact information is correct.
  • This is important because emails regarding the transfer process will be sent to the administrator’s email address. (Except for .au domains, where all transfer information is sent to the registrant contact’s email.)
  • Cancel Protected Registration or Private Registration if you have it.
  • Transfer your domain name,

DOMAIN FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

A domain name, like www.coolexample.com, is a lot like a street address for a house or business. Let’s use the White House as an example. The street address, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, is an exact location — like an IP address. You might not know the exact street address, but when you visit Washington, D.C., you can tell your cabbie that you want to visit the White House and still get there. This is how a domain name is used: It’s an easy way to reach the exact location of a website without having to remember its numeric address.

A domain name consists of, at least, a top-level and a second-level domain. A top-level domain (TLD) is the part of the domain name located to the right of the dot (“.”). The most common TLDs are .com, .net, and .org.

Many domains, also called extensions, can be registered by anyone, like .com, .net, and .org. A second-level domain (SLD) is the portion of the domain name that is located immediately to the left of the dot and domain name extension. For example, the SLD in coolexample.com is coolexample.

Advanced Domain Name Description: A domain name represents a physical point on the Internet — an IP address. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) governs coordination of the links between IP addresses and domain names across the Internet. With this standardized coordination, you can find websites on the Internet by entering domain names instead of IP addresses into your Web browser.

Usually, a domain name is not available for re-registration as soon as it expires. Most registrars allow a grace period that can be as short as one or two weeks or as long as a year for registrants to renew expired domain names. The actual grace period can be different for each individual registrar and domain name extension. That is, the grace period for a .com domain name might be different from the grace period for a .us domain name, even at the same registrar.

After the registrar’s grace period, most domain names have a redemption period. This period can last from two weeks to 30 days, and, during this time, the current registrant can renew the domain name by paying a redemption fee along with the domain name’s renewal fee.

If the current registrant does not renew or redeem the domain name, it might be auctioned. When a domain name is released to a public auction, you can participate and possibly capture the domain name by placing a bid on it.

If the domain name is not renewed, redeemed, or purchased through an auction, it is returned to its registry. The registry determines when the domain name is released again for registration. Once it’s released, you can register the domain name through us.

Domain bundles give you the flexibility to start your online venture by paying a lower monthly fee rather than paying an annual term up-front. And when you bundle your domain with your other products, you don’t have to worry about mismatched billing cycles, saving you time and energy to focus on the important stuff. Check out our FAQ on domain bundles for more details.

Lease to Own is an option that lets you buy domains over time, making it possible to secure the domain of your dreams right now. You’ll be able to make mothly payments, rather than paying the full price up-front. This option can give you the flexibility to get the domain you need right now, even if you’re still working on getting your business or venture up and running.

Not all domains are eligible to be leased. Check out our Lease to Own FAQ for more details.

Don’t fret—there are some alternate options for you if the domain you want is already registered. You can try another spelling of your domain, or you could try a different extension that fits your specific online venture. For example, using the number 3 instead of the letter E in your domain, or going with a unique extension like .studio or .design.

Some domain names may come back with a price higher than expected. These domains are known as premium domains, and they’re considered valuable domain real estate. Premium domains might be more expensive, but the benefits often make up for the initial cost investment.

Every domain registered with TK Internet Marketing gets access to standard domain features and functions, including Online Pay Linksfree DNSSEC, and Domain Privacy on eligible domains. You’ll be joining 21+ million customers with 84+ million registered domains, and you’ll have access to our award-winning customer support through both chat and phone support, whenever and wherever you need it.

Yes, some domain extensions have specific registration requirements. For example, some ccTLDs have residency requirements, and some gTLDs have organizational requirements. These requirements are outlined in detail in each domain extension’s respective help article, such as About .uk domains and About .studio domains.

The maximum registration length for any domain is 10 years. To continue your domain registration, you must renew your domain before expiration, either by turning on auto-renew or manually renewing your domain. Every domain must have current and accurate details for the Registrant contact type. This is a requirement from ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, that all domain registrars must adhere to. This contact info will stay private on our public WHOIS directory as long as you have Domain Privacy turned on.

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifying string of numbers, like 216.27.61.137, given to every individual computer, server, and network on the Internet. Like a license plate is used to help identify vehicles, an IP address is used to identify and locate information online. Additionally, they allow for communication over the internet between devices and networks connected to the internet.

The www before your domain name is a subdomain, not part of the domain name itself. Therefore, if you set up your www CNAME record to point to your primary A record, your site will resolve both at www.coolexample.com and coolexample.com.

If you can reach your website by typing in your domain without the www but cannot reach it when you type the www, then your CNAME might be set up incorrectly. Follow the instructions below to ensure your domain name’s settings are correct.

When visitors enter your domain name into a Web browser, the browser request uses your domain name to find the domain name’s associated IP address and, therefore, the website. People use domain names instead of IP addresses because it is easier to remember a name rather than a series of numbers.

Your domain name and its associated IP address are stored in a common database along with every other domain and associated IP address that are accessible via the Internet.

A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is the address of an Internet website or webpage. Think of a URL as a street address for the location of information on the Internet. For instance, a complete URL like http://coolexample.com/music, points you to the music page of the coolexample.com website.

Take a look at the anatomy of this URL to better understand how they direct online users to specific information: http://coolexample.com/funky/music.html

http:// = protocol
coolexample = domain name
.com =TLD
/funky/music.html = path
/funky/ = directory
/music.html = file name

Nameservers are the Internet’s equivalent to phone books. A nameserver maintains a directory of domain names that match certain IP addresses (computers). The information from all the nameservers across the Internet is gathered in a central registry.

Nameservers make it possible for visitors to access your website using a familiar domain name, instead of having to remember a series of numbers.

Registering a domain name does not automatically activate a website that displays when visitors enter your domain name into a Web browser. The domain name must have a hosted website that includes a numeric address, called an IP address, for visitors to access the website using your domain name.

Besides setting up a website, there are a number of things you can do with your domain name once you register it.

  • Sell it — Domain names can be a great investment. If you have registered a domain name that you are not using, maybe someone else can. You can set up a For Sale parked page to let visitors know that it’s available — and don’t forget to include your contact information.
  • Protect your brand online — The more domain names you register, the better. Prevent others from registering a similar domain name to yours. These similar domain names can steal your customers or confuse them. What can you do with all these domain names? Forward them to your main domain name’s website.
  • Hold on to it — Maybe you haven’t decided what to do with your new domain name. Don’t worry — there’s no rush. You can leave it parked with us for the length of your registration.

If you’re thinking about registering more than one domain name, you’ve got the right idea. Registering and using multiple domains names is great for building your business, protecting your brand name, and creating a dynamic online identity.

When you register multiple domain names, you can:

  • Keep your competition from registering a similar domain name drawing customers to them instead of you
  • Promote the different products and services you offer
  • Drive more traffic to your website
  • Enjoy more opportunities to market to — and be listed in — search engines
  • Create distinct advertising strategies reaching different target markets
  • Provide customers more ways to find you when searching the Internet
  • Capture common misspellings of your domain name, instead of sending visitors to an error page
  • Protect your brand and online identity
