How to register a domain name

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is an essential aspect of internet identity for a business. It is used in the website address, server address or as the handle of the business email addresses.

An example of a domain name is web4africa.com

Choosing a Domain extension

Some of the most popular domain extensions are .com, .net, .org, .africa and the like. The type of domain you choose would depend on your use case.

Some domain extensions are listed below:

.com - ideal for companies and business use
.net - intended for internet networks but popular as an alternative where .com is unavailable
.org - used by non-profits and non-governmental organisations
.info - intended for informational websites
.biz - designed specifically for businesses
.africa - intended for any entity that intends to identify with the continent of Africa. Perfect for Ghanaian businesses who wish to sell beyond Ghana.

All of these domain extensions and hundreds more are available from Web4Africa.

Domain Value-Added Services

Other Value-Added Services are typically offered along with domain name registration.

Privacy Protection: where a domain name owner/registrant wishes to hide their contact information from the domain's public record, this service allows the contact details to be hidden.
DNS Management: this service enables advanced configurations for a domain name to be pointed to multiple servers or services.
Domain Forwarding: This service comes in handy when a domain owner wishes to redirect traffic to another web address. For example, it can be redirected to a social media page.
Email Forwarding: where email accounts is not an option, all email traffic intended for a domain can be forwarded to whatever email is specified by a domain owner.

The listed valued-adds are available from Web4Africa.
