What is Domain?

A domain is a URL or address to your website. For example, if your website is your home, then the domain is your street address to find it. So, now we can say one’s website will not be visible if he does not have a domain name. Now, we will discuss how to choose a domain on Squarespace.

Domain Selection

Before selecting a domain name, you must determine your niche. For example, if you are a skier looking for a domain to write a skiing blog, you must choose a name related to skiing or snowboarding. The domain name can also be your branding name. Now, the question arises: how to search for a domain?

Searching Domain Name

To search for a domain name on Squarespace, go to this page: Squarespace Domain Search.  Now search the name of your business or niche, whatever is in your mind, like the screenshot shown below.

As you see, I searched for skiing, and it showed me that the skiing domain is unavailable. But, it also suggested that a few similar domains that correlate to my term skiing are available. So, now you must choose a name similar to your niche or representing your business. In my case, the flyingskiing.com domain is available, so I will select this TLD domain because it matches my niche or interest. It is also very important to learn what are a TLD domain.

What is TLD Domain?

TLD stands for top-level domains. As I selected the domain name flyingskiing.com, here .com is TLD. There are various kinds of TLDs, for example, .com, .org, .net, and .edu. The TLD intends to classify the purpose of domain names. Some Examples:

“.com” is intended for commercial businesses.

“.org” is intended for organizations.

“.gov” is intended for government entities.

“.us” is intended for the United States.

Here, a question arises: What kind of TLD domain do you have to select? The answer is simple: select ‘.com’ if you will start a business. If you want to run your business in a specific country or provide services in one country, select regional TLD, e.g., ‘.us,’ ‘.uk,’ ‘ca,’ and ‘au.’
