Are you looking for your dream domains, want to register domains and your question marks are only getting bigger? It doesn’t have to be like this: How domain registration and effective domain management can be achieved very easily.

Antje from Berlin runs an online shop for second-hand clothing and toys. Shirin from Munich is self-employed as a management consultant. And Robert from Wiesbaden is currently founding an international tourism startup with friends he knows from his semester abroad in Madrid. All three have very different requirements – but also have the same goal: They need an online presence with a suitable domain.

But if you want to register domains, you have many questions. Domain management can quickly overwhelm you. Not only the search for the right domains and the domain registration, but also dealing with website encryption, TLS / SSL certificates and brand protection create major hurdles. Domain registration tips help – and a Domain providerwho takes care of the more complex construction sites.

Regardless of whether you are a corporation, SME or self-employed: Every website starts with the right domains – they are the heart of your online presence. The appearance of your own brand under a suitable domain name is a powerful lever for external presentation. The own domain with the appropriate TLD underlines the competence, seriousness and autonomy of the company. Customers can perceive the website as the best point of contact for their concerns. Domains with meaningful names and keyword domains also help to be found more easily in Google search. Potential competitors also know that:

The demand for domains remains high. In 2020 alone, more than 360 million domains were registered worldwide, like the Global Domain Report from InterNetX.

The steps for domain registration show you in a nutshell how you should proceed if you want to register domains.

Which name suits your appearance best? It should be short, accurate, catchy, easy to remember. It should be easy to pass on, ideally also orally. Remember that at some point you might want to expand your offer and your domain should grow with it. The second-level domainwohnwagen-leihe.de could also join a domain camper-leihe.de. Or the top-level domains .ch and .at, if your business is expanding into German-speaking countries. Likewise, with a new gTLD like .rent or .reisen form great campaign domains.

Each domain is unique worldwide and can only be assigned once. The shorter and more appropriate a domain is, the more likely it is already registered and thus occupied by someone else. SLDs with a length of 2 to 19 characters are the most popular. With a verification tool like the one in the Domain Studio the Domain experts from InterNetX you can find out under which domain extensions your desired domain is still available. You need one for that AutoDNS accountthat you can create for yourself free of charge. If it is not used, nothing stands in the way of registration. If it has been registered before but is currently unused, it may be for sale.

If the desired domain is occupied, you should consider which alternatives make sense. To do this, you can run through variants of the second-level domain or change the top-level domain: If .com is occupied, .info, .page or .net may be a good solution. The Domain Studio in AutoDNS shows you obvious, suitable alternatives and combinations, which can help you in making a decision.

If the domains chosen are free, the domain service provider registers them with the responsible registry. The registration links the server IP of your host with the domain name in a database. This ensures that the domain name for your website disappears in the future. It often takes a few minutes for registration to be completed.

The pricing models vary with many providers. Holding a domain costs an annual amount, which depends on the selected sub-level domain and TLD.

Antje, Shirin and Robert are now asking themselves: “Where can I conveniently register or buy the right domains?” We recommend providers with great experience and convenient solutions for all types of users.

• Country-specific top-level domains (ccTLDs): The country-specific ccTLDs have exactly two letters assigned to each country, such as .de or .nl. In addition, there are around 60 internationalized, country-specific top-level domains.
• Generic top-level domains (gTLDs): Classic gTLDs such as .com and .org are among the most popular domain extensions. The new gTLDs bring variety and diversity to the domain industry. Examples are .berlin, .shop, .app, .group or .family.
