The right Internet address

Choosing the right domain name is a key success factor on the Internet. To be found on the Internet, you need a memorable, logical website address. The simpler and more obvious the name, the faster you will be found and the easier it will be for people to remember the address.

Three important principles

1. Choose a domain name that is relevant to the content of your website or choose the name of an existing company or club/association.
2. The name should be short and succinct so it is easy to remember.
3. Avoid using numbers, these often lead to misunderstanding.

Rules for domain names

• Capitalization is ignored (www.MySite.ch is identical to www.mysite.ch)
• The minimum length depends on the selected top-level domain. For a .ch domain, the minimum length is 3 characters and the maximum length is 63 characters.
• The only allowed special character is a hyphen "-". The domain name is not allowed to start or end with "-". beginnen, noch enden.

Reserving name variants

For domain names that can be written in different ways (for example with or without a hyphen) or that are often written incorrectly, we recommend reserving all possible variants. This also applies to abbreviations of the domain name. Simply redirect these name variants to your main domain name.

Choosing a domain extension

Top-level domain is often abbreviated to TLD or is simply referred to as the domain extension. This is the part of the domain name to the right of the last dot. The .ch in www.green.ch for example. There are two different types of extensions.

Generic top-level domains (gTLD): general domains such as .com, .biz, .info, .net, and .org, as well as all new top-level domains such as .restaurant, .realestate, and .cool.

Country-code top-level domains (ccTLD): all domains that are assigned to a specific country, such as .ch, .li, .fr, .at, and .de.

What is a domain name?

A domain name (website address) is where your website can be called up on the Internet. Benefits of an own domain: Your website can be reached with your personal domain. Own e-mail addresses with your domain name. Users remember distinctive names better and visit your website more often.. An own domain is a professional way of presenting your business to potential customers and website visitors. You alone can use your domain name.

Can I register and use a domain name with umlauts?

Yes, domain names containing umlauts and other accented characters (also known as internationalized domain names, IDN) are possible, i.e., www.müller.ch or www.café.ch. To allow accented characters to be used, they are translated into an ASCII text representation. ASCII-compatible encoding (ACE) is such a convention and this procedure must be supported by the software used (e-mail programs, browsers, FTP programs). We recommend not using umlauts in the main domain name. It is better to cover the different ways of writing the name with alias domains.
