Domain Name

Domain name registration is necessary for a website, an email or other web services. The most significant thing about registering a domain name is that it gives you individuality and recognized identity. When a domain name is licensed, the information about its holders is open to the public.

Of course. Anyone can register a .com domain name. Small business owners, however, should first research the name carefully and be prepared with alternatives if the domain they want is unavailable.

A domain name is not an IP address, rather, it is a name that has an IP address. One or more IP addresses may be identified by a domain name. To identify a website over the Internet, a domain name is used.

A domain name can only contain characters from A to Z, 0 – 9, may contain “hyphen/-” but may not begin or end with a hyphen, spaces and special characters, such as question marks (?), exclamation points (!), and underscores (_) are never permitted, cannot have hyphens as the 3rd and 4th characters (reserved for multilingual domain registration eg: xn--example.com), the information provided in the domain name registration must be true, correct, up to date and complete and lastly domain name owners must ensure their domain Whois information is always up to date.

Available Domain Names
In any domain name lifecycle, the first stage is its availability. Here, the domain name is available and not registered by any entity. Use a registrar to search for an available domain name and go for it. These domain names are available for registration for a period of 1 to 10 years.

Registered Period
The domain name will become active and registered for the term you have made the payment for. After registration, the current registrar should keep it for a minimum period of 60 days after which, it can be transferred to another registrar, if need be. Also, if you want to keep it for a longer period, you need to renew the domain name. A majority of registrars will notify you well in advance before the domain is due to expire. This makes it easier for you to renew the domain name early without wasting any time.

Expired Period
In case you fail to renew the domain before it expires, the domain name will get deleted. All services related to domain name are then put to an end. In fact, the domain name cannot be transferred to another registrar, unless it is renewed. After the expiry, the domain name enters a Grace Period that may last up to 30 to 45 days depending upon the extension and registrar. This is the period when you can renew the domain name at a regular rate without having to pay a penalty (if not auctioned). However, if it still is not renewed during this phase, the domain enters the redemption grace period.

Redemption Grace Period
At the end of the expired period, the domain enters a 30 day redemption period. During this phase, most of the registrars delete all the information about the domain. The domain is then removed thus making it expensive to recover again. Most registrars charge a lump sum during this period to reclaim the domain.

Pending Delete Period
If the domain is still not renewed in redemption period then it goes into the pending delete phase. This period lasts for 5 days, after which the domain gets deleted and is available to the public for registration.

Deleted and Active – Renew ASAP
The domain name is deleted and available to anyone for registration. To avoid your domain name from getting deleted, the best thing to do is renew it at the earliest.
