==How to register a domain?

To register a domain one first need to think the best name that can suite his website needs or which best describes his business, profession or personality. Now a days domain come with different extensions: -

  1. .com - A generally used extension, used for commercial websites.
  2. .in, .uk, .au, etc, (depending on the countary name) - A countary based extension, describing demographics.

  8. .shop - A domain used for online shops

Beyond this, there is a variety of domains that are in trend now.

Once we decide the name and type of domain we need to search for the same on registrants portal and if its available then we can proceed to purchase the same.

A thumb rule for selecting the domain name is considered, i.e. to look for .com extension availability, and ignore that particular domain name if the .com extension has already been booked. However, if the .com extension is available, but .info or .org has been booked by someone else, we can proceed to book .com as it will be the best from all and most common used one.

We at Itlittle provide the facility of registering your domain name from the best registrant and host the same on web hosting to make your website live for the world.

==Concept of Sub-domains

Everytime, you don't need to book the domain if you are working for the same project or some extensions of the same project. There is a termonology used 'Sub-Domains', we can make the sub-domain by following a few simple steps. Subdomain, name gets added as prefix with a dot(.) to the domain names. Even a subdomain works as a new website.

Eg. Lets take an example of a corporate website. The company decided to make a blog for the company website example.com in that case company can create a subdomain of the website blog.example.com

The company can create a blog portal on the same subdomain and this way a blog with the url blog.example.com get created.
