Domain by Elisa Almeida April 10, 2023 A domain designates your company's identity on the web. This is the name associated with your IP address that redirects visitors to your website (eg ovhcloud.com). This forwarding is transparent to the Internet user. What is it? A domain consists of three elements. For example, the website www.elivretek.com. At the beginning of the domain appears the subdomain, represented by «www». Refer to different sections of the site. Example; contact.elivretek.com, recruitment.elivretek.com. Then comes the second-level domain, or SLD (second-level domain), which corresponds to your business name or brand: it appears immediately before the extension, separated by a dot. Example «elivretek». This part can be customized in order to be as close as possible to your activity. Finally, the top-level domain, or TLD (top-level domain), also known as «extension» completes the domain designation, appears in the final position, after the domain. Example extensions like .pt or .com.However, not all TLDs have the same functionality: there are generic TLDs (gTLDs) and others associated with a country, as in the case of a national domain. These are the most frequently used TLDs. To reserve a domain, you must make a request with the responsible body.

Premium domain A premium domain is a short, optimized, generic name. Thus, it is easily memorable and has an interesting dimension in terms of referencing in search engines. A higher price will be applied to so-called premium domains, in order to differentiate them from less generic domains. The attractiveness of these domains lies in their strong marketing value. They are what generic keywords are for search engines, a powerful advantage that, due to their generic or associative character, allows you to increase the visibility of the site among Internet users.
