Line 8:

Furthermore, a [[TLD]] can be separated into more SLDs; that is, second-level domains are being divided into sub-domains which could represent different computers within an organization or different aliases.

~~In order to choose and determine the right domain name, besides choosing the [[TLD]] it is also important to carefully choose the SLD because this portion is the actual website domain name.~~

~~Having this in mind, when choosing the SLD the following choices are available:~~

* Choosing a brandable name: either as an acronym or a synonym of a famous brand.

* Choosing a domain name based on a well rated keyword: the keywords represent the best description of a specific product or a business.

* Choosing a domain names based on an already existent company or organization: a great solution for businesses which want to achieve and enjoy an Internet presence. Nowadays, a business success also depends on its Internet presence.

==Valid Domain Names and SLDs==

In order to register a domain name, the validity requirements must be met. In this way, a domain name is valid if it contains up to 67 characters including the domain name extension (such as .com). Valid characters are those between 0-9, letters a-z and dashes, but the dash "-" cannot be used at the beginning or at the end of a domain name. <ref>[http://www.build-your-website.co.uk/choosing-domain-name-second-level.htm Choosing the right Domain Name]</ref>
