NOTE: As you go through this site, you'll come across many items  that seem to basically repeat, or expand on, items covered elsewhere on the site. This repetition is deliberate - the topic of domain names is enormous when covered in depth, and it would be unrealistic to expect a visitor such as yourself to view all the pages of the site in exactly the "right" order to see each concept before the next is introduced. The hope is by introducing an element of informational redundancy, each visitor will be able to derive maximum benefit from this site.
