What Is A Domain Name? | www ... - Online Success Path

Most of you probably already know what a domain name is, but I don?t want to make assumptions as to what everyone knows at this point, so I?m going to assume that we will have some complete beginners here.? And that?s quite all right to be a beginner.? Everyone must start at the beginning.

I?ll share with you information about a domain name ? what it is, how to choose a domain name, and where to get one.? A domain is one of the required elements of a website.

A domain name is the address of a website ? such as yoursite.com ? it?s like a house address and represents the address of your home on the World Wide Web.? Your domain name is the way in which people can find your website.? For example, the domain of the site you are on right now is onlinesuccesspath.com.

The Internet will automatically assume it needs to add http:// in front of a domain name that you type into a browser.? So when you type in www. followed by a domain name, you may notice that your web browser displays it as http://www.yoursite.com.? You don?t have to literally type in the http://, as the browser will insert that by default.

Either way, whether you see this automatically included in your web browser or not, whatever browser you are using (such as Firefox or Internet Explorer) will assume the protocol is http:// followed by the www address you have typed in.? You simply type in www. followed by the site name you want to view.

Http stands for Hypter Text Transfer Protocol, and it is the way in which browsers and web servers exchange data, allowing you to surf the web and find what you are looking for.

Your domain represents the ?home? page of your website, but as you add new pages to your site, the URL structure will change to reflect where to find a particular page on your site within the internet.? For example, a URL could look like this:? www.yoursite.com/articles/gardening.html.

URL stands for ?Uniform Resource Locator.? In the example above, we see the home page of the website as www.yoursitename.com.??The domain is yoursitename.com.? We also see a folder called ?articles? which is being used to house articles for that site.? We see a gardening article from the ?articles? folder called gardening.html.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.? This is simply computer code.? It?s the language used to write content on the Web.? But not to worry ? as we get into web editors, you?ll see how your editor will take care of the special coding for you.? So there won?t be a lot that you?ll have to know about this computer language when you get ready to build your website pages.

A URL consists of various sections (including the domain name) that, when combined, will point to a specific page of a website. Obviously, there will be more than just a home page with the domain name for a website ? unless one is simply using a one-page website, also referred to as a squeeze page.

A website can consist of as many pages as your hosting account will support in terms of the web space that your combined pages utilize.? In today?s times, even a small hosting package will almost always support as many pages as you need.

When choosing a domain name, you?ll also pick an extension to go with that name ? such as .com (the most popular extension).?

Here are just a few types of domain name extensions ? but keep in mind that for business purposes, you can?t go wrong with a .com extension.? The reason is that it?s the first extension that comes to mind when people type in a domain in their web browser.

.com ? Stands for ?commercial? and is the most widely used extension.? Businesses generally prefer a .com domain because it?s the most highly recognized symbol for an online presence.

.net ? Stands for ?network? and is commonly used by Internet service providers, web hosting companies, or other businesses that are involved in the infrastructure of the Internet.? Some businesses may choose this extension for intranet websites.

.org ? Stands for ?organization? and is primary used by non-profit organizations.

.biz ? Stands for ?business? and is used for small business sites in some cases (However, the .com choice is still the preferred option for a business, regardless of the size of that business.)

.info ? Stands for ?information? and is used for credible resources on the web which provide information.

.tv ? Stands for ?television? and is used in the entertainment or media industries.

.edu ? Stands for ?education? and is limited to educational institutions such as colleges and universities or other accredited schools.

.gov ? Stands for ?government? and is limited to government agencies in the U.S.

You can explore other domain extensions at Wikipedia.

In the next post, I?ll cover tips for choosing a domain name . . . followed by where to purchase your domain.

Supreme Court rejects 'Stolen Valor' law, says lying about military honors isn't a crime

By McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON ? The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a federal law that makes it a crime to lie about being a military hero. In fact, the justices ruled that many lies are protected by the First Amendment.

The 6-3 ruling came in a case involving Xavier Alvarez, a former local elected official who at a 2007 water board meeting in Southern California falsely claimed that he had served as a Marine and received a Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration. As Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority, ?Lying was his habit.?

The ruling is one of several recent Supreme Court rulings dealing with the First Amendment that would seem to go against public sentiment. As Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the dissenting opinion, the law was ?enacted to stem an epidemic of false claims about military decorations? that ?were undermining our country's system of military honors and inflicting real harm on actual medal recipients and their families.?

The court's majority opinion was that the law punishing the liars was more damaging than the lies.

?Permitting the government to decree this speech to be a criminal offense, whether shouted from the rooftops or made in a barely audible whisper, would endorse government authority to compile a list of subjects about which false statements are punishable,? Kennedy wrote. ?That governmental power has no clear limiting principle.?

The ruling went on to suggest a less severe way to deal with those who lie about military glory: create a database that could be used to verify claims. A government database of all medal winners doesn't exist, though there is a Medal of Honor database.

?Only a weak society needs government protection or intervention before it pursues its resolve to preserve the truth,? Kennedy wrote. ?Truth needs neither handcuffs nor a badge for its vindication.?

Doug Sterner, a military historian from Alexandria, Va., was instrumental in getting Congress to pass the Stolen Valor Act, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2006. Still, Sterner said he agreed with the court's reasoning on creating a digital database. The Department of Defense has rejected the idea in the past, in part noting that a 1973 fire in St. Louis destroyed 18 million records, so such a database would be incomplete.

?I set out to record the efforts of the heroic, and only focused on stolen valor because I was coming across two or three cases a day,? he said Thursday. ?There's nothing I'd like to see more than a database, and (the Pentagon) knows all the records are in 500 boxes on paper cards. They could create a database in less than a year, and it wouldn't cost that much to do it.?

The law imposed prison sentences of up to six months on those who ?falsely represent? that they have received any military ?decoration or medal.? For certain elite medals, the penalty increased to a year in prison.

In this case, Alvarez pleaded guilty but reserved the opportunity to challenge the law as an infringement on First Amendment rights to free speech.

Roy Gutterman, who heads Syracuse University's Tully Center for Free Speech, said the ruling was in line with other recent First Amendment rulings by the court, such as one protecting the right of a Topeka, Kan., pastor to protest near military funerals. Gutterman said that the ruling was poetic at points, and called a reference to George Orwell's Ministry of Truth ? in which the truth was altered to fit government needs in the novel ?1984? ? particularly poignant.

?What the court was saying is, 'Where's the real harm in the lie?' at least versus sanctions that limit free speech,? Gutterman said. ?There has to be a better way.?

Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., the original sponsor of the law, said he was disappointed by the decision.

?I intend to work with my colleagues in the Senate to construct new legislation that prevents people from inflicting harm upon others through their lies about receiving military awards and decorations,? Conrad said in an email.

Congress passed the legislation in 2006 without hearings, and with an abbreviated debate that only lasted about 20 minutes in the House.

?Recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Award, the Silver Star and Purple Heart have made considerable sacrifices for our country,? Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., said at the time, explaining that ?this legislation represents just one of the many ways of saying thanks for a job well done.?

Alvarez was one of the first individuals tried under the law, which wasn't used in many prosecutions. It drove different appellate courts to different decisions.

In Colorado, a federal judge dismissed charges against Rick G. Strandlof, who had raised funds while falsely claiming to be a wounded Marine. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the judge and deemed the law constitutional.

In California, however, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the case against Alvarez.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) ? Maybe the response just slipped. Or maybe the question completely caught her off guard.

As Allyson Felix sauntered away from the crowd and on to safety, she actually broke her vow of silence.

Only two words ? "Feeling good." ? and then she was off again.

Felix is looking solid on the track even in the midst of controversy, winning her semifinal heat at Olympic trials on Friday.

Same with training partner Jeneba Tarmoh, who moments earlier captured her race convincingly, too.

After the 200 final Saturday, these two sprinters will finally address what everyone is anxious to know: Just how they will break their third-place tie in the 100.

A runoff? A flip of the coin?

Soon, there will be a resolution.
