A domain name is a special address that you can obtain via a registrar company. All units that are linked to the World-Wide Web, such as web servers, feature numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are quite difficult to remember, so the domain system was introduced as an easy way to distinguish a given website on the Internet. By result of this, your website is available at www.domain.com as an alternative to 123.123.123.123, for instance. A domain name includes 2 separate parts - the Second-Level Domain, which is the actual web site name that you are able to select, and the Top-Level Domain, which is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You'll be able to register your new domain from any type of registrar or move an existing domain name between registrars in a couple of easy steps. Whenever you choose to do the latter, your domain shall be renewed automatically by the gaining registrar when the transfer process has been finalized. Along with the universal Top-Level Domains, there are country-code ones as well. A number of them can be registered by anyone, while some others will need regional presence or even a business license.
