A domain name is a unique address that you are able to get through a registrar company. All units that are linked to the Web, including web servers, feature numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are pretty difficult to remember, for that reason the domain name platform was created as an easy way to recognize a particular web site on the World Wide Web. By result of this, your website is available at www.domain.com rather than 123.123.123.123, for example. Your domain name includes two parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual web site name that you are able to choose, and the Top-Level Domain, that's the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You are able to register your new domain name via any type of registrar or migrate an existing domain name between registrars in just a few easy steps. Whenever you choose to do the latter, your domain will be renewed instantly by the gaining registrar the moment the transfer process has been finalized. Along with the generic Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones as well. Many of them can be registered by anybody, while others will require local presence or a business license.
