Domain Naming

Of course, to designate a host can not be done in vain, There are technical rules that must be certain that the domain can be seen as a valid domain. Addressing based domain using the system of steps, starting from the top level (known as TLD, Top Level Domain), to levels below. Take the example of this web site. From domain name can be seen that the address of this site (http://www.earlyedition.info) is the domain earlyedition shelter under the TLD .info.

TLD .com (commercial) is an international TLD that includes the host to handle commercial activities. In addition, also known TLD .net (network) for the network .Org (organization) to other organizations, .edu (Educational) for educational institutions, .gov (government) institutions for governance and .mil (Military) to the interests of military. The determination of the international TLD is located in the authority ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, www.icann.org), a non-profit international organization that specifically handles matters relating to the allocation of IP in the Internet, the protocols used, and management based domain naming system. Meanwhile, the management of the TLD is the administrative authority of the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, www.iana.org), who is also a non-profit organization that carries the function of coordination in the global Internet.

In the beginning, TLD .com, .net, and .org, according for used, but partly because ownership of the domain under this TLD is free and procedures that apply automatically, then allotment tended to be ignored. Among all the international TLD, the TLD .com TLD is the most in demand. This may be associated with fever dotCom currently runs the world so that each company will feel outdated if not its own domain under the TLD .com.

Nowadays, the TLD international users, especially the “triple” .net, .com and .org, is full. For prospective new owners of the domain, it will be difficult to find a better word, or acronym that has not been used. ICANN therefore set several new TLD, among others .info, .news, .biz, .museum, .coop, .name, .aero, etc.
