Generic Top Level Domains (gTLD)
For example .com .gov these are typically used for organisations
Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLD)< /br>
For example .uk for the United Kingdom, .in for India, .us for the United States.
Unsponsored Top Level Domains (uTLD)

Registering several types of domain name can be a good idea though, as it stops other people from registering your name and leaves it ready for you to use either right away or in the future.
When you register a domain it is usually registered for an initial period of either 1 or 2 years. At CompitentHosting we operate an auto renewal policy designed to ensure continuity of service, which means that at the end of the initial registration period we will renew automatically for a further registration period. However, if you no longer need the domain name you can of course cancel before this happens.
You may also if you wish register most domains with us for a maximum of 10 years at one time.
Once you have chosen a domain name and registered it successfully, it usually takes up to 12-36 hours for all the DNS servers across the internet to know about your new domain name. This means that while you might be able to access your domain, your next door neighbour might not if he is using a different DNS server.This period is known as domain propagation.
If a company is paying you to register the name it should normally be registered at our cheap domain names service under their name as transferring at a later stage is a time consuming process and may incur extra cost.
