: Domain name purchasing I am about to make a site regarding programming and technology.Being very new to the webmasters field I don't know much about what features does the .com,.info,.org etc

@Nickens628

To put it into reality:


A domain name is just like the "name of your business" (e.g. McDonald, Hungry Jacks, etc). Does it mean something to you? Maybe yes, maybe no. But it is always recommended to choose a good domain name so that no one can leave a bad impressions about it. Just imagine that you have a business name, e.g. BankruptFast, what do people think about it?
A hosting service is just like a "place/premise to do your business". Obviously, once you think of a business name, you may have to consider renting/buying your own business space.


Therefore, a domain name will be non-functional without a valid hosting service. Hope this helps

Sometimes TLDs may affect traffic since .COM is most popular. And most of the people, if they are not aware with TLD of your site, try .COM first. But most important is domain name not TLD.
Moreover i would suggest you to use wordpress 3.0. It'll help you to build a site easily as per your need. You just need to pay for domain name and webspace.
