When you want to build a website for yourself or your business, there are two basic terms you need to know: Domain and hostingThese two important stages, which we can define as the technical structures of a website; includes specifying the name/address of your site, registering it, and renting the space where your site will be stored. After these processes, which take about 10 minutes in total, you need to install the platform called CMS, which you will use to add your content to your siteFinally, with the help of themes and plugins, it remains to give your site the functionality and appearance you want.

In summary, three basic components are enough to build a website:

1:Domain

2:Hosting

3:CMS

Domain Name (Domain)

The domain name is the name and address of your website. This address, which is used by those trying to find your site to enter your site, is also called a domainThe annual cost of a domain name is around 100 TL on average.

If you want to open a website for your business, it is recommended that your domain name be the same as your company's name.

If you are planning to set up a personal website for yourself, you can use your first and last name as a domain name.

When registering a domain name, it's not enough to just specify a name for your website. You also need to decide on the section called the extension, such as .com / .gov / .net, which completes the address of your site.

If your target is international visitors, a “public” domain extension such as .com, .net, or .org will be appropriate. If your target is visitors living in a specific country, you should use a “local” domain extension such as .tr .de, .fr, or .ru.

So, how do you find out if the domain name you have specified has already been taken, that is, registered? For this process called domain inquiry, you can use our Domain Inquiry tool, which shows whether the domain name you want to buy is also suitable for social media accounts.

If your preferred domain name is already taken, you can try to find different combinations with new generation extensions such as .pizza, .tech, .ist, .istanbul, .cafe.
