Domain name and website can be confusing for internet users in general. Although these two seem to provide different functions, they are interrelated. Read on to learn what a domain name is, how it works, and where to register one.
Website: A website is a collection of web pages used to deliver specific and helpful information to specific users. A website is usually developed by an individual or organization, dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, such as news, education, commerce, entertainment or social networking. Websites are also used to increase business, reach more customers, generate more qualified leads, etc.
Domain Name: A domain name is an address where one can find a website by typing the web address in the URL bar of the browser to visit the website. When we enter a website domain name in the search box, a powerful engine searches the largest pool of web names and directs us to the website. A domain name serves as primary location of your website on the World Wide Web. People find your products and services by visiting your website through your domain name.
Websites cannot be accessed if you do not have a domain name. Your domain name is the address where your business is hosted online. Each website then works the way you have integrated it into your hosting plan.
Domain names also provide many great options when it comes to branding and marketing your products and services. Visitors have a better connection with your brand when you are using your own domain name.
Online Presence
A domain name gives an online identity to your ideas and business. People search using your brand name on search engines like Google, Bing, Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Pinterest etc. Your brand name should be a reflection of your values, goals, mission, products and services and the overall industry domain that your brand provides solutions to. If your domain name is not search engine optimized, your branding and online presence suffer.
Brand Reliability
Websites with proper branding and the right domain name give your business a sense of reliability. A great domain name is must for startups and all types of business owners. A great brand name increases the level of interest around your products and services. A branded website address increases the trust of your existing and potential customers apart from your organizational business partners.
Brand Impression
Domain name of your branded website address is what initially attracts people to your business. If your brand and domain address are great and catchy, visitors are more likely to click and visit your web page. That page could be an inbound lead generation page for one of your products. It can play a great role in making customers decide to buy your products or services.
Brand Security and Stability
Maybe you started out as a business owner and signed up for a free hosting plan to save some money on hosting. We strongly recommend against doing this as your business will continue to grow and as more visitors log on to your website, your hosting needs will continue to change. If you have thousands of customers, you may find it necessary to get dedicated hosting. Switching from one provider to another is not as easy as it sounds if you do not own the brand name. Having a separate domain name ensures better brand security and provider highest stability.
User Engagement
The perfect domain name increases customer engagement, daily traffic and helps in getting more customers. Suppose you own a website that reviews shopping platforms, for example, the domain name "shopping.review" will help you attract more visitors who are interested in finding out reviews from real buyers. If your pages are search engine and content optimized for your target audience, Google and Bing will start showing your results better than they did in the past.
Professional Email addresses
Professional email addresses help you close deals faster than public email addresses. Having a professional email address for yourself and your employees helps you build better relationships with your customers and business partners. Customers are more likely to do business with companies that have own professional email address in the product and service industry.
