What does the word "Domain" bring to mind?

[jlc]

Hi,

Just curious. What do you think of when you think of your "domain"?

Your domain name, website, home, office, other?

Hi and welcome to the forum - an interesting question!
To the serious resellers here I guess there is only one answer, a domain name.
Maybe for me my "domain" is that little area of the lounge where my recliner is situated and around which "she who must be obeyed" allows me to have a measure of freedom! :-D

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I like it. I think for me a couple come to mind. Home, work, then my domain names that I'm tring to profit from.

Thanks Again for the welcome.

Investment, development......in some cases (from years ago) 7.95 that could've been better spent on a biggie sized Big Mac combo.
BTW welcome calandrajl.

an interesting question indeed.
I think the majority here would probably respond domain names (myself included). this being a dn forum and all.
I know that If I ask friends what comes to mind just from the word 'domain'and not domain name, the answer is usually an area of control. Wether it is at home, office,bathroom, or on a larger scale, an empire, and area of interest etc...
On the net however, it looks like it is synonymous with domin names.

I am impressed with your empire.

I wish I had that "domain".

(Nothing worse than "Domain" envy!) :-D

To anyone in networing, it isn't just a name, but a group of networked computers that can communicate with each other (normally a Windows domain). In the latest version of Windows server software, a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) would be a named computer domain using an internet resolvable domain name that is named in intenet DNS.

And in the latest overture (July), the keyword "domain" (by itself) has finally eclipsed all the others ("domain" registration, "domain" names, etc.) Never seen that before!!

If you're asking if when you hear the word "domain", if it still relates to your home, or territory. The answer is yes. Perhaps this would not be the case if I actually owned a good domain name

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome.
Sorry for the late reply, I don't have as much time as I would like for dnforum.
Doing more reading here than typing.

I'm glad to see your domain still relates to your home.

I own DomainEssentials.com and right now it's a reseller for wwd, but I see it as more than that. So the more people that think of "domain" as something other than a domain name the better.

I think of my home town where I hang out and all of that.

Wow!

That is great news for domain resellers!

Good thing I'm not in networking. I'd be lost.

Good, so "domain" to you isn't limited to your computer.

When I hear "domain" I think of an area that is controlled by a group/person.

 

[seeker]

you people seriously think of all these areas when you hear the word 'domain'???
I mean, 'us' 'we' people in the business?
My domain is the bathroom, were I can read whatever I want, do what I want, in the way I want to do it, without worrying about invading *any* of the senses of other people, including vision, hearing and smelling...
Yet the *first* thought is domain names.
Then again, I (and I am revelealing a great secret here) watch the discovery channel and then run to my computer for the right 'domain', so I guess methods are different for each person.

I first heard of the term "domain" in a more philosophical context (just like many others here have mentioned): yes, the sphere of your control is very often a mental conception than a physical/geograpgical area. Then I came across it as in "policy domain"; and I guess even though domain speculators are using it to refer to domain names on a daily basis, most ordinary people (yes, you are all weird ... or special, LOL!) tend to associate it with something else. Actually it would make a very good domain name using a 2-word combo like whateverdomain.com!

Hi,

A 2-word combo like DomainEssentials.com?

JC

How about domaindomain.com? That would be a great combo, indeed.

In this (DNF) context, the word 'domain' to me means a parcel of internet real estate. Some domains are out in the boondocks, and some are on 5th Avenue, so to speak. Translated to English, I'm saying it's like a plot of land. Some are in the remote Scottish highlands, and some are on Regent Street.

This analogy relates to both price, value and traffic.

Owzat?

Hi,

So to you what would be some examples of internet real estate that I would find in the boondocks, and what I would find on 5th Avenue? How much would I expect to pay at the different locations?

It's called an "analogy" JC.

Compare for example:

OutInTheBoondocksMilesFromAnywhere.com

with

FifthAvenue.com
