A Static URL connects to a destination without calling a script. No programming scripts are generated when a static URL is selected. Therefore the destination URL is identical to the starting point URL. A static URL is always a starting point URL. A static URL would read like http://www.mydomain.com/products/productname/

A Dynamic URL processes a script to connect to a destination. Dynamic URLs are becoming increasingly common with vendors and should be analyzed carefully. A dynamic URl would read like http://www.mydomain.com/link.asp?id=100408. Most dynamic URLs become transformed at the destination.
For eg. http://www.mydomain.com/link.asp?id=100408
becomes transformed to this
http://www.mydomain.com/app/home/journal.asp?wasp=3d1xhxwvup7tng64qwtm&referrer=parent&backto=linkingpublicationresults,1,1

In this case, the destination URL is not persistent and therefore should not be used as a starting point URL.

It is believed that the search engines do not like dynamic URLs because of the difficulties they have had indexing and reading them in the past and the users are also not in love with URLs like http://domain.com/product.php?cid=1&pid=5  because such URLs do not tell much about the contents of the page.

Static URLs score better than dynamic URLs for a few other reasons too. Dynamic URLs are not always there i.e. the page is generated on request after the user performs a specific action like filling a form and submit it or performing a search using the site’s search engine. Which indirectly means that such pages are nonexistent for search engines, because they index the Web by crawling it, not by filling in forms.

Even if a dynamic page has already been generated by a previous user request and is stored on the server, search engines might just skip it if it has too many question marks and other special symbols in it. Earlier the search engines did not index dynamic pages at all, while today they do index them but generally slower than they index static pages.

One of the solutions of the dynamic URLs problem is called URL rewrite. There are various tools which are different for different platforms and servers that rewrite URLs in a friendlier format, so they appear in the browser like normal HTML pages.

When you are selecting a domain names for your business website it makes sense to consider the future of your site. There is a possiblility that the site may be split in the future to concentrate on a specific product line or products that meet a specific need.

If in the planning phase of your site, you have pre-determined that there may be a multiplication in the range of website’s products in the future, you may want to purchase a suitable domain name now. The cost of a domain name is not very high and this strategy may provide the assurance you need the site name will be available for you when you are ready to implement the next phase of your marketing plan.

If you do decide to go with a unique domain name you should consider purchasing the domain name with your actual business name in it. This will ensure that when you expand your product range on your website, you can use subdomains for different categories. Subdomains would separate different categories and at the same time you have your actual business name as your main domain.

There are many people you may have come accross that simply guess that your domain name is simply the name of the company. So it becomes frustrating for such people when they go ahead and type in your company name in the browser to find no site of yours.

A good domain name brings a good amount of type-in traffic while a bad domain name keeps people away. So work at keeping your domain short, on target and easy to remember.

There are many domain extensions available but .com and .net are the most popular extensions. Other extensions were added to provide the opportunity for flexibility in domain name choices.

From search engine optimization standpoint of a website, there are a lot of factors involved. Selecting a proper, relevant domain name for your website is one of them.

Search engine optimization process is an effort to get pages of your site to rank high in the natural or organic listings on top search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. This process requires a lot of planning, patience and work. Picking the right domain fo your site is the first step in that direction.

Selecting a domain name is often viewed as a simple process. Most businesses simply use their offline business name or something which is brandable but not relevant to the theme of the site. Others try to pick something that is short and catchy, so visitors will hopefully remember the name and come back to the site later. From the search engine optimization point of view, this approach will not harm you but there is a better way to pick your domain.

One of the interesting things about many search engines is that they give a significant amount of value to the words in the root of a domain name i.e the words between www and the domain extension like .com, .net etc. A good optimization effort might lead to the site appearing high under the phrase in the domain name. So it is important to think long and hard about the domain you use.

One approach used by many people doing search engine optimization is to match keyword phrases and domains. The idea is to research the most popular keyword phrases being used by people in your particular field and then buy domains matching those phrases. For example, many people search for “Web Hosting” when looking for a web hosting service. So if you want to build a site about web hosting, you would ideally want to buy the domain with the keywords web hosting in it. Such a site could be optimized well and obtain high rankings in major search engines.

Obviously, keyword phrases with tons of traffic have already been taken. So work your way down the phrases shortlisted and you will be surprised to find that many of the key phrases are still available. Build a site on one of the domains and you should find your optimization efforts leading to successful results.

However, this would only be owned if the same user owns a domain in another TLD which has been in use for a period of six months.

This mail consists of existing domain names with new TLD appended,
For e.g. – For a website - http://www.eukhost.com, this is a possibility -
www.eukhost.com.mail ,
and if the mail server is at server1.eukhost.com, the .mail address would be located at server1.eukhost.com.mail.

This domain does not have complete access from the registrant; however it would go to a publicly-accessible server where the relevant information of the domain name could be seen. Complaints of spam processes would be accessed at abuse@server1.eukhost.com.mail
