The domain zone was created in 1991. Free registration for everyone became available in 2010. A successful letter combination immediately ensured the popularity of behalf among resources dedicated to business and communications.

To date, after opening free registration for residents of any countries, the domain name is positioned not only as Colombia. CO usually means the company, communications, corporation, commerce, cosmetics. So, for example, Twitter owns a single-piscus domain T.CO.

Characteristics of the domain zone of Columbia.

The provision of false or erroneous information during the registration of the domain is not recommended, since when disputes arise, you will not be able to provide documents confirming the affiliation of the domain.

Among the anime fans domain name .Co gets an interesting meaning. The "KO" ends a significant number of characters names. Sufifix "Co." in Japanese has a diminutive value.

Frequently asked questions about domain zone.co

When paying tariff plan "Business", a period of a year or more - a domain registration is possible worth up to 1000 rubles for free (for a period of 1 year). The standard price of the CO domain is higher than this amount, so it is possible to register it only by stock (if its price is less than 1000 rubles). Virtual hosting rates are represented. A year later, the domain name can be extended at a standard price for the selected zone.

The larger the company, the easier to work with it, the scripts are better automated, the probability of employees error is better, the likelihood of personal disputes between the client and the employee of the company is practically excluded. Choose a major recorder that has long been operating in the market.

It happens that minor recorders provide more favorable conditions. You can use stocks, but do not count on the efficiency of technical support, if you need it. An independent transition from one recorder to another, the case is troublesome, besides, in some companies there are inshanced instructions on the maximum complication of the domain transfer (up to a personal visit to the office). Carefully read the terms of the agreement. If the domain is registered on you, as on physical or entity And your data are displayed in registration information, this is a profitable and interesting offer. If the domain is registered with the company that provides services, you should not communicate - you will not be the owner of the domain.

(and 18 - with the creation World Wide Web), And people are so fully and not covered in the question of choosing a domain name for the site.

Until now, ridiculous superstition is common, as if the third level domains are less attractive than the second level domains; Moreover, not so long ago I had to deal with allegations, as if the domain in Zone.info is unpaid - and why? Only because of the low price!

Those who have not confidently feel confident in this matter, as well as some of those who feel quite confident, I decided to tell what considerations, in my opinion, should be guided by choosing domain zone.

The basic principle

The zone should be selected, based on the destination of the resource and adhering to the semantics of the top-level domains.

Short Likbez

The domain name consists of several words separated by dots. By the number of these words (which I will call steps) is determined domain level: so, google.com is a second level domain; www.google.com. or google.com.ua - the third; images.google.com.ua - fourth. The hierarchy is no left to left. In particular, the right level is called the top-level domain.

As a rule, the domain can be divided into three main semantic parts:

Domain zone
The right side of the domain name, which includes one or two (more - rarely) steps. It is not a resource property, but a public domain designed to register in it domain names.
Resource name
Own resource name. For example, if it is a corporate site, then the name of the company. Usually contains one step.
Subdomain
Optional left part of the domain name. Indicates a separate resource subsection, containing logically separate information or performing its dedicated role. For example, the FTP subdomains may be on the resource for the FTP server, WWW for the main site, Forum - for the forum, etc.

Examples:

google.com.	-	google	com.
google.com.ua.	-	google	cOM.UA.
images.Google.com.ua.	images	google	cOM.UA.
vasia.pupkin.name.	-	vasia.pupkin.	name.
ftp.pupkin.narod.ru.	fTP.	pupkin.	narod.ru.

This article is devoted to the issue of choosing a domain zone.

Classification of domain zones

The domain zone as you noticed may consist of one step (in this case it coincides with the top level domain) or two. More than two - rarely.

Top-level domains (TLD) formally divided into country domains (ccTLD), domains general purpose (GTLD) and service domains (ITLD). The latter will not be useful for us.

Among the general purpose domains are some domains allocated on a language, cultural or territorial basis, therefore CCTLD and GTLD offer to regroup in geographically linguistic and thematic domain zones.

Territorial language domain zones

These domains are designed for specific countries, languages \u200b\u200bor cultures.

Rule: The territorial-language zone should be chosen when the resource is focused on residents of one country or carriers of one language or one culture. For example, this is a purely Russian-speaking website or the website of the company operating within Ukraine.

Domains of countries always consist of two letters and, with rare exceptions, obey iSO standard 3166-1 Alpha-2:

General destination domains, isolated on a cultural or territorial basis (a number of such top-level domains are in the process of consideration - they are marked with stars):

Some of the territorial language zones impose certain requirements for registrans. For example, in the zone of Ukraine, a domain can only be recorded in the presence of the same brand. Other countries allow you to register domains to everyone, including residents or citizens of other countries.

Thematic domain zones

This is briefly speaking, those GTLDs that are not addressed above to the territorial-linguistic. They all consist of more than two letters and determine some scope of activity.

Rule: The thematic domain zone should be chosen when the resource is fully (or at least mostly) corresponds to its purpose.

com.	Actually general domain (Common) destination.
bIZ.	Commercial organizations.
net.	Organizations providing network services.
gov *	Government organizations.
mIL *	Military departments.
eDU *	Educational institutions.
aero.	Airlines.
jobs.	Recruitment organizations.
travel	Travel agencies and travel agencies.
coop *	Cooperatives.
mOBI.	Sites optimized for mobile devices.
museum	Museums.
info	Information sites.
org.	Non-commercial organizations.
name.	Separate people or characters.
pro.	Certified Professionals (for example, doctors or lawyers)

Many GTLD have one historically established and very unpleasant limit for us: they are intended only for the United States. So, Gov means US government organizations, MIL - US military. These domains are marked with stars (and, moreover, I have doubts about Aero, Jobs, Travel).

How to be the rest of the countries are described in the following subsection; Here it is also necessary to note that thematic domains, not subordinate to the states, are implied, on the contrary, world or international world. That is NET - an organization that provides network services at the international level; BIZ - a commercial organization whose activity is not limited to one country.

Rule: Register the domain in the world (international) themed zone should only if its audience or activity is really not limited to one country.

Some domain zones require to register compliance with the stated topics; Some allow you to register everyone. Unlike countries, this most often leads to negative consequences, when sites are registered in the zone, which are absolutely not appropriate to its purpose. The most famous example is a domain.com intended for commercial organizations, but not nominated relevant restrictions; As a result, everything was registered in it, it was crowded, fully lost his destination and was rethought as a general purpose domain; De Facto .com began to be considered a reduction from COMMON (general), and the initial function.com was called up to perform .biz, in which the necessary (albeit soft) restrictions on registration.

Rule: register a domain in its non-appropriate appointment with the thematic domain zone - bad.

Some of the CCTLD are also often used as thematic due to consonance, for example:

It is sometimes even officially supported by organizations controlling domains, and states themselves (as, for example, Tuvalu).

Rule: You can register the domain in the consonant zone if you really want.

Regional thematic domain zones

In most CCTLD there are second-level domains, duplicate some thematic areas, somehow: .net.ua, .com.ua ,.uz.ua. However, not all domains made up of the combination of GTLD and CCTLD are domain zones: so, info.ru was acquired by some Valentina Nikolaeva before the creation .info and the domain zone did not.

On the other hand, some second-level domains that are not combinations of GTLD and CCTLD are domain zones (for example, .in.ua is intended for registration of domains à la Music.in.ua (English "Music in Ukraine")).

In some countries, regional-thematic domain zones can wear a few changed names: for example, in the UK instead.com.uk is used. Co.uk.

Regional thematic zones may have their limitations for registration: for example, .edu.ua allows you to register not by any educational institutions of Ukraine, but only higher, and not lower than the third level of accreditation.

It is the regional-thematic zones that are needed when the thematic domain is limited to the limits of the United States (.gov - the US government, .gov.ua is the Government of Ukraine, .gov.us is not used).

It is the regional-thematic areas that should be used when the resource exactly corresponds to one of the thematic areas, but is not intended for the world (international) scale.

An example of a bad choice in this case is the Ukrainian mobile operator "Kyivstar", the site of which first was located in the kyivstar.net domain, and recently moved to Kyivstar.ua.

In what error? The first domain means "a company providing network services at the World or International"; The second domain means "the company providing very wide spectrum Services in Ukraine. " Both of them do not correspond to the company's activities.

What are there options? Kyivstar.mobi or kyivstar.mob.ua is wrong, because.mobi is a zone of sites optimized for mobile devices, and not mobile operators. Kyivstar.biz.ua means a "commercial enterprise in Ukraine" and does not contain sufficient instructions of the subject; The option is kyivstar.net.ua, which and should choose in this case.

Rule: When the resource corresponds to both the appointment of the thematic domain and specialization in a separate country, the domain should be registered in the regional thematic zone.

In the absence of a suitable regional thematic zone (we will imagine that Zone.Net.ua would not have essentially, and our choice would be limited to kyivstar.net and kyivstar.ua) the decision to take quite difficult; Perhaps, in this particular case, it would still be better than kyivstar.ua, however, it is not a fact that in other situations, the domain in the thematic zone will not be preferable.

Subregional domain zones

These second-level domains are intended for individual regions of the country. For example, .lugansk.ua - Lugansk region of Ukraine; .crimea.ua is an autonomous Republic of Crimea.

The principle of choice is about the same as for the territorial zone, only with a narrowing to a separate region of the country. It should be remembered that themed subzones (type.iz.kiev.ua), as a rule, do not exist.

Rule: In the subregional zone, the domain should register if the orientation of the resource to the region significantly outweighs thematic.

Long subregional zones, at least in Ukraine, may have brief synonyms:

It can be assumed that such subregional zones exist in all countries.

Choosing a domain zone

So, in order to choose the right domain zone, you must first answer such questions:

Is the resource oriented on one of those corresponding to thematic zones?
If so, is this theme zone for jurisdiction of the United States limited?
Is the scope of activity or an audience of a resource any country limited?
If so, and if in this country there are subregional zones, is it limited to the field of activity or the audience of the resource one of the regions of this country?
If the 1st and 3rd question are positive answers, is there a regional-thematic zone that is complied with the thematic and regional zones chosen in 1 and 3?

After that, it is possible to make a decision, guided by the above rules and, in conflict cases, thoughtfully aroused priorities.

Nothing shameful in using zone.info if your site is information blog, or.biz.ua, if you exercise commercial activities within Ukraine, no. If you wish, you can call resources in zones of type.narod.ru or.na.by (not enough money for the domain), but not correctly selected domains - regardless of the registration price and domain level.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. If you want to start personal site (For a personal blog or portfolio, for example), it is not necessary to choose anything here. For this there is a zone.name. It can register the domains of the third level of Vasia.pupkin.name, while automatically receiving an e-mail view [Email Protected] The second level domain pupkin.name in this case remains publicly available to all other faddles that wish to register.

Registrars often do not allow to bind a domain to hosting, limited to a redirect (when entering Vasia.pupkin.name, the user moves to pupkin.narod.ru). However, not so long ago for zone .Name has become available and the usual version with the registration of the second level domain and binding to hosting was available.

And also, remember: by choosing and registering the domain, do not forget to register similar domains in all other available areas in order to avoid fraud. If your domain is called pupkin.com.ua, users can mistakenly try to log in, for example, on pupkin.com or pupkin.ua; Naturally, it will not be very good if these domains belong to fraudsters collecting the harvest with the popularity of your resource.

Good luck in the choice of domain!
