Domain names are easy to remember by computers connected to the Internet, which are equivalent to the so-called IP addresses on the Internet. Domain names are usually used as shortcuts to find information and contact each other on the Internet. The following are some examples of domain names that you may already be familiar with: yahoo.com (belonging to Yahoo!) AOL.com (belonging to AOL)
Second, what's the difference between international domain and domestic domain names?
international domain is a common name for a generic top-level domain that users can register. Its suffix is. com,. net or. org. Domestic domain names are different from Chinese domain names. Domestic domain names, also known as CN domain names, are domain names with the suffix. cn, which is one level lower than that of international domain. The registration agencies of the two companies are different, and there is basically no difference in use. It's just that individuals can't register domestic domain names at present. At the time of registration, if you apply for gov.cn, you need to submit some materials (application form and organization code certificate of the applicant) after the domain name application, and the domain name can be successful only after the above materials are mailed to us.
3. What are the requirements for domain name registration in China?
1) The applicant for domain name registration must be an organization registered according to law and able to bear civil liability independently. Individuals cannot apply for domain name registration. All kinds of contacts in the domain name registration application form represent the organization to handle all matters of domain name registration application. The domain name undertaker does not apply for domain name registration as an individual, but represents the organization.
2) what are the requirements for foreign enterprises or institutions to register domain names under the second-level domain name of CN?
its main domain name server is located in China.
iv. what is the difference between a domain name owner and a domain name management contact?
domain name owner and domain name management contact are different concepts. In the domain name WHOIS retrieval results provided by any first-level registrar, the first item is registrar, that is, the domain name Registrant and the domain name owner. The second item is domain name management contact, followed by domain name technology and paying contact. When registering, the domain name owner can ask these contacts to fill in their own names and leave their own e-mail addresses. However, this has left a hidden danger for security, for example, the domain name owner can apply to modify the registration information except the domain name itself and the domain name owner through the domain name management contact or technical contact. On what basis can a first-level domain name registrar judge whether a modification application is true or whether it comes from the domain name owner? The criterion for judging is whether the email address sent by the request is consistent with the domain name management contact mailbox in the registration information. This method is the least reliable because of forgery. In order to improve security, NSI and others advocate users to adopt PGP encryption, that is, it requires the relevant contacts to send their public key to NSI in advance, and then electronically sign each message to show authenticity. In view of the fact that most domain name registrants in China are not familiar with PGP or other password encryption, the first host acts as a domain name management contact and technical contact on its own to complete all the above requests on behalf of customers. As a payment contact, internet companies have solved many troubles of currency conversion and bank remittance for domain name consumers. In addition, most China domain name consumers are not good at foreign languages, and they are contacted by network companies, which saves them communication barriers. If you want to change the domain name management contact to yourself, you can, but we will no longer be responsible for the security of this domain name. If you have any questions about this matter, you can contact us directly. In a word, the domain name you registered will belong to you completely, which is no problem. The contact person for domain name management of this domain name is our company, and we only manage the domain name for you.
5. What characters can I use to register international domain?
a: English 26 letters, 1 Arabic numerals and a "-"(minus sign) can be used as domain names. There is no difference in the case of letters. However, the longest domain name cannot exceed 63 characters, and "-"(minus sign) cannot appear at the beginning or end of the string.
VI. When will the domain name become effective after registration?
A: Your online pre-registered international domain will take effect after we receive your registration fee or fax payment confirmation. However, the domain name you choose may be registered successfully by other registration agencies before you pay the fee, so we suggest that you pay the fee as soon as possible to avoid losing your precious domain name.
7. when can the registered domain name take effect?
Every computer has one or more digital addresses, called IP addresses, used to mark the computer's location on the Internet. Examples of IP addresses are: 24.234.212.1. This kind of positioning system is boring and difficult for human beings to remember. If you have a domain name, you don't have to remember the IP address.
VIII. Who is the management organization of international domain
ICANN is a non-profit organization established in recent years to replace NSI company, and its main functions include managing the Internet domain name and address system. Information about ICANN can be found in the website: ICANN.
IX. What is a domain name address server (DNS)
Domain name servers are used to translate domain names into IP addresses that computers can recognize. For example, if someone wants to visit the website of the "first host" (www1.com.cn),DNS translates the domain name into the IP address of 61.145.118.2. This makes it easier for the computer to find the website server of the domain name owner. Therefore, you can also tie the domain name to the virtual host you applied for, and you can access your website normally.
X. Structure of domain name
Top-level domain name
A domain name consists of two or more words separated by a period. The word on the far right is called the top-level domain name. The following are some common top-level domains and their usage:
*. com-for commercial organizations. It is the most common top-level domain name. Anyone can register a. COM domain name.
*. net-originally used for network organizations, such as Internet service providers and repairers. Now anyone can register a domain name ending in. NET.
*. org-It is for all kinds of organizations, including non-profit organizations. Now, anyone can register a domain name ending in. ORG.
country code
Top-level domain names consisting of two letters, such as. cn, .uk, .de and. jp, are called country code top-level domain names (ccTLDs), in which. cn is a special top-level domain name in China, and its registration is managed by CNNIC. The second-level domain names ending in. cn are simply referred to as domestic domain names. The rules and policies of registering the second-level domain name under the top-level domain name of the country code are related to the policies of different countries. When you register, you should consult the domain name registration agency and ask about the relevant registration conditions and terms related to registration. Some domain name registrars not only provide registration services for domain names ending in. com, .net and. org, but also provide registration of country code top-level domain names. ICANN does not specifically authorize registrars to provide country code top-level domain name registration services.
second-level domain name
the next level of the top-level domain name is what we call the second-level domain name. In domainpeople.com, the domain name registrant provides a second-level domain name in the top-level domain name ending with. com. The form of domain name may also be something.domainpeople.com. In this case, something is called a primary name or a sub-domain name.
