Caribe Graphics Hosting and Domains

A domain name is just like your home or business street address. It helps people find you. When you type in www.yourdomain.com this is called your domain name. Domain names can end in .com, .net, .org .gov .com.mx or over 20 other dot something extensions.

There has always been a debate on which factors are the most important when determining what domain to register. Choosing a domain name should be tied to the business plan and your vision of the company.

A domain name can be chosen to obtain high Search Engine placement, your brand name or could be a description of your product or service. You must consider the number of characters in the name, how easily the name is pronounced, how memorable it is and if the name is already registered with other extensions. For example, if you choose a name that is already registered and developed with the .com extension, creating a website for a .net domain might end up being confusing to your potential customers.

Domains specifically chosen for SEO

The purpose of this type of domain is to rank high in the search engines. The actual domain name contains the keywords being searched for. Search Engine domains are very rarely “brandable” and are mostly used exclusively as side Internet properties to redirect traffic to the main site. A dive shop would benefit from acquiring diveshop.com and scubadiveshop.com because it is natural that people will remember such address. More importantly, that domain name has a high probability of ranking at the top, or very near to the top, of a search for the term -dive shop.

Brand Name Domains

The obvious choice for brand domains is the store or product’s brand name with a .com or .country extension. Country extensions are used in countries where there is more popularity in their country extension than on the .com. In Mexico, for example, the country extension is .com.mx .
Most Internet domain experts agree that the shorter the domain, the better. A domain that is about 5 letters long is preferred for a brand. However, the domain must sound right as well. cusxz.com or cusxz.com.mx would be not be good because it cannot be easily be remembered  or spoken. Caribe Graphics web specialists are highly qualified to guide you in your domain name decision.

Website Hosting

Once your domain name is registered and your website is complete it is time to “put it up” on the internet. In order to do this you need to have what is called a Web Host.

A Web Host is a company that provides space on a computer that is directly connected to the World Wide Web 24 hour a day 365 days a year. The web host provides the space to “host” the files required to display your website to the world.
