ABOUT THE .CAT DOMAIN
What is an Internet domain?
What is an Internet domain?
A domain is the unique name that identifies a website on the Internet. It is the address you type into your browser to access a website.
Regardless of the website's content, domains are mainly used to translate IP addresses into simple, memorable names. Without Internet domains, you would have to remember IP addresses (http://176.45.89.0) instead of the domain address (https://accentobert.cat).
Domains also allow you to have a personalised email address, such as [email protected].
How do I choose a name for your .cat domain?
How do I choose a name for your .cat domain?
Your domain is your address on the Internet, so the best option for choosing the name of your domain will depend on the use you want to give it. Here are some recommendations for each case:
To protect your brand: register the commercial name in question.
For a company or a business: choose an attractive name, related to the activity of your business and easy to remember.
For personal use or to protect your name: you can register your name and surname, or your two surnames; this will allow you to create a personalised email address associated with your domain.
For a non-profit organisation: choose the name that best represents you and is easy to identify you with.
For an entrepreneurial project: choose a name that conveys the essence of your project, that is original and easy to remember. Avoid overly generic names and go for what makes you stand out.
For the .cat Grant: choose the name that best represents your classroom project and that is original and creative.
If you are not sure which name to choose or you need inspiration, Mixu with the domain generator will help you find the ideal name.
