What is Domain Name?

A domain name is simply a description of a computer's location on the Internet. For an organization, a domain name is similar to a customized license plate. Registering a domain name on the Internet is the equivalent of registering a company name at Companies House. Once registered, no-one else can use that name. As there are many companies with similar names, it is important to register a suitable domain name for your company as soon as possible. A domain name is a way by which a company can uniquely identify itself on the Internet. If your company name was yourfirm Inc., the domain name would be your firm.com. Your web site would be located at: http://www.yourfirm.com and your email addresses would be in the form of: username@yourfirm.com There are three different types of domain names that you can register. The general purposes for these domains are: .com Commercial, .net Network and .org Miscellaneous Organizations.

At this moment, new Internet Domain Names are being registered at an astronomical rate! If you don\'t reserve your Domain Name now, you risk having it pulled right out from under you...forever. You see, no Domain Name can be registered twice. If you don\'t reserve now, then someone else can.
