What
is Domain:
The
Internet is a bigger organization of PCs associated with one another through a
worldwide organization of links. Every PC on this organization can speak with
different PCs.
A
domain name is an online address that offers a user-friendly way to access a
website’s true online locator: its Internet Protocol (IP address). The IP
address is a unique string of numbers and other characters that are used across
the Internet to access websites from any device or location. But the IP address
is hard to remember and type correctly, so the domain name represents it with a
word-based format that is much easier for users to handle. When a user types a
domain name into a browser search bar, the browser uses the IP address it
represents to access the site.
Domain
names consist of a unique name chosen by the user and an extension, such as
.com, .net, or .org, that designates the site’s Top-Level Domain. Each domain
name must be unique, one can’t use a name that’s already taken.
Why
should you get a Domain name?
-The
online world is rich with opportunities to create a business or blog on free or
paid hosting sites, or even on social media. And people are also grabbing this
opportunity to grow their business or blogs in social media or other free/paid
hosting sites. These sites demonstrate that it’s
possible to have an online presence without owning your own domain.
But
if your aim is to be widely visible, if you want to give your business a bigger
platform and build authority for your own brand then you should purchase your
very own Domain name
.
There are a couple ways to see if a domain you want is available.
First,
simply type the URL into Name.com’s search—we’ll tell you if the domain
can be registered or not. Or, search for the domain in Whois Lookup.
