A domain is a unique address that you are able to acquire via a registrar company. All devices that are connected to the World-Wide Web, including web servers, possess numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are pretty hard to remember, so the domain name platform was introduced as an easy way to identify some website on the Internet. Using this method, your website can be reached at www.domain.com as an alternative to 123.123.123.123, for instance. Your domain name features 2 different parts - the Second-Level Domain, which is the actual web site name that you will be able to select, and the Top-Level Domain, which is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You will be able to register your new domain via any sort of registrar or transfer a current domain between registrars in a few easy steps. If you choose to do the latter, your domain will be renewed automatically by the gaining registrar as soon as the transfer process has been finalized. Along with the universal Top-Level Domains, there are country-code ones too. Some of them can be registered by anyone, while others require regional presence or even a business license.
