Domain Names

“Domain Name is your identifying name of your business, internationally on the world wide web”

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is your unique identifying website name.  A domain name is the address where Internet users can access your website over the World Wide Web or internet in short.  A domain name is used for finding and recognizing computers on the Internet.  All computers use IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, which are a series of numbers. But, it is challenging for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of this, domain names were established and used to recognize entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses full of numerical data. 

A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, and it can be used in combination of the various domain name extensions, such as .com, .net, .org, .edu and many more.  The domain name has to be registered by an individual or any agency representing that person, before you can use it. Every single domain name is unique. No two websites can have the same domain name with the same extension anywhere in the whole wide world. If someone types in www.yourdomain.com, it will go to your website and no one else's. That’s the power of a single and unique and identifying domain name.
