Why do I need a domain name?

There are several benefits to having a domain name in Kenya, including the following:

If you want to promote your business online, you need a domain name. This is the first step in building an Internet presence. Once you have a domain name, you can build your website and start promoting your products and services.

If you are looking for investors, it’s essential to have a domain name so that potential investors can reach your site. If they can’t find it, they will look elsewhere.

A domain name gives people an idea of what your business is about. For example, if the company is selling computers and computer accessories online, the company should register a domain name such as www.computers4u.com instead of www.mybusinessonline-xyx.co.ke.

Think of a domain as the house address. Without the address, visitors will get lost.

So, if you’re trying to sell something online, you need a domain name so that potential customers can find you.

What are the different kinds of domain names? 

Domain names can be divided into three categories of domain extensions: 

• Generic top-level domains (gTLDs): These domains are the most common and are listed in the table below. They include .com, .net, .org, .biz and others. gTLDs can be registered by anyone in the world.
  
• Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs): These domains include the two-letter country codes for each country (for example, .ke for Kenya, .ca for Canadian domains, .uk for UK domains, .cn for Chinese domains, and so on). 
  
• Sponsored top-level domains (sTLDs): These are new domain names that are not part of the regular top-level domain system and are commonly sponsored by organizations.
  Examples include .mobi (for mobile devices), .name (for individuals) and .pro (for professionals). Others include .gov (used by the US government), .edu (used by post-secondary institutions.)

Which one should you choose?

Well, the rules are simple.

Before you register a domain name in Kenya, take a minute and think about your target audience.

Who do you want to attract to your website?

• If you want a global audience to read your website, go with a .COM domain.
• If you are targeting only Kenyans, your best bet is a .KE domain.

Now, how about the other domains?

Think about the purpose of your website.

If you are building a non-profit website, for example, you can go with a .ORG domain.
