A domain name is a distinctive address that you're able to buy via a registrar company. All of the devices that are linked to the Internet, including web servers, have numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are pretty difficult to remember, for that reason the domain name system was created as an easy means to recognize a particular web site on the World Wide Web. As a result, your site can be reached at www.domain.com in place of 123.123.123.123, for example. Your domain name possesses 2 parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual website name that you're able to pick, as well as the Top-Level Domain, which is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You'll be able to register your new domain through any sort of registrar or transfer an existing domain between registrars in a few simple steps. When you decide to do the latter, your domain will be renewed instantly by the gaining registrar as soon as the transfer process has been completed. In addition to the universal Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones as well. Some of them can be registered by anyone, while others require regional presence or a business license.
