As an explanation, the domain extension is the part that comes after the last "." in the domain name. They are also reffereed to as TLD and ccTLD. These extensions are set up by regulatory bodies, and it is not possible to make your own extension. The most popluar extensions are technically American extensions (most countries have their own variation on domain extensions), and are also called top level domains. These include the .com, .net, .org extensions, and although all domains from America are technically designed for a specific use, the practicalities of this is that they are used for what ever the owner of the domain wants to use them for. For more info, take a look here. To expand on the different types of extensions; - .com - The most popluar domain extension in the world, originally designed for business use only
- .net - The second most popular extension, setup for computer networks and the like
- .org - Generally for organisations that were not for profit
- .info - Setup for websites that would offer information
- .biz - As the .com extension was used for anything, a new extension for businesses was needed - Part Of The Tacloban.Biz Family
- .mobi - With the rapid expansion of cellphones that could connect to the internet, and PDA's, .mobi was created to have websites designed specifically for these mobile devices - Part Of The Tacloban.Biz Family
- .me - Used to promote individual people as oppossed to businesses and/or organisations - Part Of The Tacloban.Biz Family
Tacloban.Biz plans to expand it's family of domain extensions. Starting with the .biz extension, the .mobi & .me extensions have been added, and eventually the plan is to add many more top level extensions. When your site is hosted by Tacloban.Biz, you have the choice of what extensions we have on offer at the time for your domain name, however, Tacloban.Biz will strongly recommend an extension that matches the type of website you have. |
