A domain name is a unique address that you can buy via a registrar company. All devices which are connected to the World-Wide Web, such as web servers, have numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are rather difficult to remember, for this reason the domain platform was introduced as an easy means to distinguish a particular web site on the World Wide Web. Thus, your website can be reached at www.domain.com as an alternative to 123.123.123.123, for example. A domain name includes two separate parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual web site name that you can choose, plus 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 migrate an active domain between registrars in a few simple steps. When you decide to do the latter, your domain name will be renewed instantly by the gaining registrar right after the transfer process has been finalized. Along with the universal Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones as well. Some of them can be registered by anyone, while some others require regional presence or even a business license.
