A domain is a unique address that you're able to get through a registrar company. All of the units which are connected to the Internet, including web servers, possess numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are rather difficult to remember, because of this the domain name platform was launched as an easy means to recognize some web site on the World Wide Web. By result of this, your web site can be reached at www.domain.com rather than 123.123.123.123, for instance. Your domain name possesses two separate parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual site name that you will be 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 a new domain from any registrar or transfer an active domain between registrars in a couple of simple steps. When you decide to do the latter, your domain name shall be renewed instantly by the gaining registrar right after the transfer process is finalized. In addition to the generic Top-Level Domains, there are country-code ones too. Many of them can be registered by anyone, while some others demand regional presence or a business license.
