A domain transfer is simply the process of changing a registrar of a domain to a new designated domain registrar. When you transfer your domain, all of the domain’s billing and administration information are also moved to the new domain registrar.

To get a complete understanding of what a domain extension is, you have to go back in time to the 1980s. Back in the early days of the internet, you needed to type out an internet protocol (IP) address in order to access a host on a network. An IP address is simply a string of numbers and periods. Computers were able to communicate with each other using IP addresses. If this sounds complicated, it’s because it was. There weren’t powerful search engines back then either, like we have now, to help you navigate to the site you wanted. While there weren’t many computers that were connected to the internet back in the 80’s, the only way to access a website was to remember the IP addresses for each site and type it in. Sounds messy, right?
Clearly a better, more efficient solution was needed. The solution that was created was the domain name system (DNS). DNS is basically an IP address database. Instead of having to remember an IP address to access a website, you type the domain name into the browser. DNS translates this entered domain name into an IP address that computers understand and are able to communicate with. When your domain is entered into their browser, DNS translates it into an IP address because that is what computers understand. You are then directed to the requested website.
With hundreds of domain extensions to choose from, you may be overwhelmed picking the right one. We’re here to help!
- When In Doubt, Choose .com – The .com TLD is far and away the most popular and recognized domain extension. You can’t really go wrong with the .com TLD!
- Or Don’t Pick .com… – While a .com domain extension might seem like the obvious choice, its popularity means a lot of the most popular domain options have already been scooped up. Luckily there are hundreds of other domain extensions to choose from!
- Make The Logical Choice – There are hundreds of domain extension options because there are endless website topics. Do you run a limousine company? Consider the .limo extension. Do you run an art studio? Consider the .studio domain extension. Is your site a blog? Choose the .blog domain extension. You’re bound to found a logical domain extension to use for your site.
- Consider A Domain Extension Hack – If you really want a memorable domain, consider a domain hack with your choice of TLD. A domain hack incorporates the domain extension into your domain name. Some examples are rad.io, instagr.am and sca.red.
