A domain name is a unique address that you can acquire from a registrar company. All of the units which are connected to the Internet, including web servers, feature numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are pretty hard to remember, for this reason the domain platform was introduced as an easy way to recognize a given site on the World Wide Web. Thus, your web site is available at www.domain.com instead of 123.123.123.123, for example. A domain name possesses 2 different parts - the Second-Level Domain, which is the actual site name that you are able to choose, and the Top-Level Domain, that is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You will be able to register your new domain name from any registrar or migrate an active domain name between registrars in a few easy steps. In the event that you choose to do the latter, your domain name shall be renewed immediately by the gaining registrar the moment the transfer process is carried out. In addition to the universal Top-Level Domains, there are country-code ones too. Many of them can be registered by anyone, while others require local presence or even a business license.
