A domain is an essential part of a unique web address that enables access to a website. It is made up of an individual domain name and a domain extension such as . .com or ..at and acts as an unmistakable identifier on the Internet.

Is it worth owning several domains?

Buying several domains can make sense in certain cases, for example to protect your own brand name or to secure alternative spellings . Even though search engines nowadays ensure that websites are found without specific domain knowledge, it can still be advantageous to secure internet addresses before they are used by competitors . An example of this is the purchase of domains with potentially negative endings or domains that may be needed in the future for expansion plans. In addition, it is advisable to register domains for different projects or spellings to ensure that users do not end up on the wrong pages in the event of input errors. Furthermore, short and memorable domains also offer the opportunity to make a profit through resale, as they can increase in value over time. Domain marketplaces , such as that of world4you, offer a suitable platform for this.

SSL and HTTPS: Why is a secure connection crucial?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security protocol that encrypts the data transfer between a web server and a browser to protect sensitive information such as passwords or payment data. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) uses SSL to establish an encrypted and secure connection between the browser and the website. HTTPS is important for a domain as it not only improves security but also increases user trust. In addition, search engines such as Google prefer sites with HTTPS, which leads to a better ranking in the search results.

How much does a domain cost?

The price of a domain depends on various factors, in particular the domain extension (TLD) chosen. Older and better-known top-level domains such as .com are often cheaper, but also more popular and more quickly taken, while newer TLDs such as .online tend to have a higher chance of still being available. Premium domains , which are particularly attractive, can be more expensive and their prices vary depending on demand. To find out the cost of a desired domain, you can run a domain check , which shows the availability and price in real time.

Can I buy a domain forever?

No, a domain is only ever registered for a limited period , usually one year, after which it must be renewed. With world4you, however, you don't have to worry, as automatic renewal (auto-renewal) applies. Your contract is automatically renewed every year as long as you do not actively change it. This keeps your domain safe and you don't have to worry about it being taken over by someone else.
