A Domain name is your online identity. It is a “plain
English” alias that points to the server where your web site resides (actual server
addresses are a series of hard-to-remember numbers).
Your Domain name belongs to you as long as you keep its
registration current. It stays with you if you move your site from one server
(host) to another.
Generally, “.com” denotes a commercial business, “.org” denotes
a non-profit organization, “.net” denotes a network or hosting service,
etc.
There are more than 56,000,000 domain
names currently registered. The one you really want may already be taken! Be prepared
to consider alternatives.
Try to conceive a Domain name related to your business
name using the most appropriate extension (yourcompanyname.com)
You register your Domain name with a registrar. We recommend
Network Solutions: http://www.networksolutions.com. They are not the cheapest but they
are the original and best established of registrars.
