What Is Domain Name
what is a domain name
A domain name is the name of a computer or a group of computers on the Internet consisting of a string of names separated by dots, which is used to locate and identify computers (sometimes also refer to geographic locations) during data transmission.
The emergence of domain names aims to solve the shortcomings of IP addresses, which are inconvenient to remember and cannot display the name and nature of the address organization. Common domain name suffixes are: .com, .net, .cn, .edu, .top, .xyz, etc.

Features of Domain Names
Features of Domain Names
1. Easy to remember
The IP address is the digital identification of the Internet host used for routing, but it is not easy to remember, so a character identification of the domain name is generated, which is easier to remember than the IP address. This is also an important function of domain names—providing easy-to-remember names for digitized Internet resources.
2. Uniqueness
The domain name is unique. When the IP address of the resource is changed, it is only necessary to update the mapping relationship between the IP address and the constant domain name, which is imperceptible to the user. The new IP address can also be accessed using the original domain name.
3. Scarcity
Due to the uniqueness of the domain name, each domain name is unique on the Internet. Therefore, after a good domain name is registered, there will be no second one. Therefore, the characteristic of scarcity also makes the domain name worth buying and selling.

Can The Domain Name Renewal
Can I get my website domain name back if it has not been renewed?
After the domain name expires, it will go through three stages, namely retention period, redemption period and deletion period.
If the domain name expires and does not renew, it will not be able to access it normally and will enter the domain name retention period. The domain name retention period is generally about 30 days. The account that needs to register a domain name can renew the fee, and others cannot renew the fee.
The domain name redemption period is generally 30 days. If the domain name is to be redeemed during this period, it needs to be redeemed at a high price, and the price is estimated to be at least 1,000 yuan. Accounts that need to register a domain name can only be redeemed, others cannot.
If the domain name is not renewed in the first two periods, it will enter the deletion period, usually about 5 working days. After the domain name is deleted, it can be reopened to everyone for registration, on a first-come, first-served basis.
According to the above process, after the domain name goes through the deletion period, everyone can register, it depends on who is quicker. According to our experience, if the domain name is valuable, it will usually be grabbed by space dealers or other cybersquatting agencies, and it is difficult for ordinary people to grab it.
