A domain name is a distinctive address that you can acquire from a registrar company. All units which are connected to the World-Wide Web, including web servers, have numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are very difficult to remember, for that reason the domain system was launched as an easy means to distinguish a given site on the Web. 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 features two different parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual site name that you can choose, as well as the Top-Level Domain, which is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You're able to register a new domain name through any kind of registrar or migrate an existing domain name between registrars in just a few simple steps. If you choose to do the latter, your domain shall be renewed immediately by the gaining registrar once the transfer process has been completed. In addition to the universal Top-Level Domains, there are country-code ones as well. Some of them can be registered by anyone, while some others require regional presence or even a business license.
