- What is a Domain Name?
- A domain name represents your organization on the Internet. It is your Internet address which will be used by others to reach your website or to send you email messages. Computers need a certain numeric code, called an IP address ('Internet Protocol address') for communication on the Internet. The IP address is a combination of four numbers between 0 and 255, which are separated by dots (e.g. 192.168.10.50). For the Internet user, an IP address is difficult to remember and use and does not have any association with the type of services offered by the domain holder. Therefore, the domain name system (DNS) was developed to map the difficult to remember numerical codes (192.168.10.50 for example) into names (www.example.ps). These names are referred to as domain names which are simple to use and provide easy-to-remember address to your organization. The selection of the domain-name can be of crucial importance for the success or failure of your appearance on the Internet.
- Why should I register a domain name?
- A domain name will uniquely and easily identify your organization on the global Internet. By having it, your organization will have its own e-mail and/or web address(es) that are similar to/contain your company name or function.
- What type of domain name should I apply for?
- This depends on the nature of your organization. If your organization is an educational institution or belongs to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), National Security Organizations or the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), then you can register your domain-name under, respectively, "edu.ps", "gov.ps", "sec.ps" or "plo.ps" second-level (charted) domains, otherwise, you can register your organization name directly under ".ps" domain or ".com.ps", ".org.ps", ".net.ps".
- Will my name and contact information be publicly available?
- Yes. Information about who is responsible for domain names is publicly available to allow rapid resolution of technical problems and to permit enforcement of consumer protection, trademark and other laws. 101Domain makes this information available to the public using the "whois" database.
