Do Not Be Fooled

Domain name is a fast and easy way to get yourself and you business on track in the vast world of the Internet. With stiff competition, many people grab the opportunity to earn cash by piling up ads on domain sites that don't intend to be what they are. A good example is the .tv, although some may have gotten the misconception that the site is a TLD (Top-level Domain) for "television", they are actually mistaken big time. Dot-tv is the Internet country code for the island nation of Tuvalu.

As what it appears, when you register a domain names with a dot-tv at the end, your assumption is it is related to the television or entertainment industry. If dot-com is for commercial and dot-gov is a government site, then you would probably be fooled at believing that dot-tv has something to do with television. And all the income goes to the government of Tuvalu. But with .nz for example, it doesn't have the same bearing. This is what they call as domain hacking.

Domain hacks are unconventional domain names that make use of parts other than the SLD (second level domain) or third level domain to create the full title of the domain name. Domain names follow structure of "title.tld" or "title.sld.tld",where "title" is the title of the domain name, and "tld" and "sld" are the top level domain and second level domain, respectively. While a domain hack may use various structures such as "tit.le", "ti.tle", etc.
