What is Your Domain Name, Where does it Live, and When Does it Expire?
Your company’s domain name, or it’s address on the internet, is an important part of your brand, image, and message. It is akin to a piece of property or some other form of capital that you want to protect. That is why it is important to know the vital details about your domain name, including the technical information around expiration dates, Internet Protocaol (IP) and IP location information, domain registrar and Domain Name System (DNS) name servers.
DNS is naming sytems for computers and resources connected to the internet or a private network. With your DNS name server identified, you will have the ability to find the domain name’s IP address, subdomains, and even the phyiscal location of the server that is hosting it, as well as that servers name.
All of this information can get very confusing and difficult to navigate through, but fear not as there is a handy tool that can consolidate all of this information onto one handy online resource. Who.is.
Follow that link the Who.is website and perform a search on your website. Find out where you server is located (if you don’t know) and make sure you are aware of when your domain name is set to expire, so you can make sure you renew your website before someone else has the chance to snag it! Do some research on Alexa to check how your website ranks out of all them in the US! Ever wonder what the #1 website is? Here’s a hint – check with Alexa first before googling it!
