Domains - Frequently asked questions and answers

What is a domain, a domain name?

A domain name is a unique web address on the Internet that users use to access your website. Just like your building, apartment or house has an address, a website has a domain or web address. For example, "wmd.hr", "wmd.hosting", "google.com" is a domain name.

Why is it necessary to register a domain?

The purpose of a domain name is to make it easier for people to find and access your website. Instead of having to remember a website's IP address, which is a series of hard-to-remember numbers, people can simply type in the website's domain name.

We cannot stress enough how important it is to register your own domain name. If you are still not convinced about the benefits of domain name registration? No problem; below are some of the key benefits of owning your own domain name.

Branding and credibility

Registering your own domain name gives your brand, company or product a more professional look. This shows that you are serious about your online presence and are investing in building your business. This is an advantage that would be impossible to achieve using a free address provided by your ISP or obtained in any other way. These domain names generally consist of long combinations of words that are not really suitable for professional use. A good domain name, on the other hand, will certainly help you attract additional visitors and customers.

Online presence and search engine optimization (SEO)

A domain name is crucial to building your online presence and improving your search engine rankings. It helps search engines identify and index your website, making it easier for internet users to find you. A domain name that contains targeted keywords can also improve position and increase a website's visibility in search results.

Create professional email addresses

When you register a domain name, you can also create email addresses with that domain name. Which will provide you with a more professional approach in communication with potential users. info@tvrka.com looks much better than company@internetprovideraddress.com, right? Also note that you will always be able to keep your email address. So even if you change service providers, you won't lose your email address.

Protect your idea or name

Have you come up with a great name for your idea, business or product? If so, don't wait too long to register your domain name. That way, you won't risk someone else (or a competitor) registering your domain name.

How to choose a domain name?

A few simple tips for choosing a domain:

Length - It is important that it be memorable and as short as possible.

Simplicity - Don't use long words or words that are difficult to spell.

Brand/Company Name - Choose a domain with your brand/company name for maximum recognition.

Keywords - If you are not using a company name, use keywords related to services or products.

If you can, don't use numbers and hyphens and check if similar domain names already exist to avoid legal and marketing costs.

When I register a domain, can I change the name later?

No, once you register a domain, you cannot change the domain name. You can just register another domain name.

How long does domain registration take?

The minimum duration of domain name registration is determined by the domain registry that manages the type of individual domain. It is usually a one-year registration.

With WMD, you can register domains immediately for several years if you wish.

Why should I register multiple domain names?

Registering multiple domain names has many advantages.

When starting your business, you should always look to the future and consider opportunities for growth. If you plan to expand your business, which is now limited to one specific product or service, to other products and services in the same category later, then it is best to register other suitable domain names first. Because competitors who notice that your business is becoming successful could otherwise register them for you!

Also consider registering variations of your domain name. In addition to the .hr domain name, be sure to register the .com and .net variants, for example. In this way, you will have an advantage over domain squatters who would register a domain of your name and then ask you for a large amount of money to resell it to you.

But also consider typosquatters, i.e. people who register a domain name with typosquatters in the name, thus luring Internet users to their website when they actually wanted to visit yours.

How can I check domain availability?

What are TLDs, ccTLDs, gTLDs, SLDs and 3LDs?

A TLD is a top-level domain in the domain name system. It is the part of a domain name that comes after the last period, such as .com, .org, .net, .edu, and .gov. TLDs are managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and are divided into two categories: generic TLDs (gTLDs) and country code TLDs (ccTLDs).

ccTLD is an abbreviation for designated country top level domain. It is a subcategory of TLDs used to identify a specific country – For example, .hr for Croatia, .ca for Canada and .cn for China. ccTLDs are administered by the respective countries or territories and are often used by companies and organizations that want to target business to a specific geographic region.

A generic top-level domain (gTLD) is a TLD that is not specific to a specific country or territory. There are several types of gTLDs for example
.com: for commercial entities
.org: for non-profit organizations
.net: for network infrastructure providers
.edu: for educational institutions
.gov: for government bodies

A second level domain (SLD) is the part of a domain name that comes before the TLD. For example, in the domain name example.com, "example" is the SLD.

The third level domain (3LD) is the subdomain that comes before the SLD. For example, in the domain name blog.example.com, "blog" is 3LD. 3LDs are often used to create subdomains for specific purposes, such as a blog or online store.

In general, understanding the different types of domain names is important when choosing a domain name for your website. Consider your goals and target audience when choosing a domain name and TLD.

What is the difference between a domain and web hosting?

A domain name is like the address of your house or apartment, and web hosting is like the apartment or house where you live. If you want to start a website, you will need both: a domain that Internet users can use to find your website and hosting, which stores all the data essential for the proper functioning of the website as well as emails.

What happens when the .eu domain expires?

.EU domains do not have a GRACE PERIOD, i.e. a period of delay for domain renewal.
If .eu domains are not renewed on time, by the expiration date, .eu domains are quarantined for 40 days.

In the period when the .eu domain is in quarantine, it is no longer possible to renew the domain at the regular price, that is, the domain can only be restored/returned from quarantine during that period.

Restore .eu domain from quarantine is 119 EUR + VAT.
