A domain name is an easy-to-remember and unique website address which you'll be able to obtain for your site. It routes a numeric IP address that is employed to identify sites and / or units on the Internet and it's much simpler to remember or distribute. Every domain name incorporates two separate parts - the specific name that you select as well as the extension. For instance, in domain.com, “domain” is called Second-Level Domain and it is the element you'll be able to select, whereas “.com” is the extension, which is called Top-Level Domain (TLD). You can acquire your domain via any accredited registrar organization or transfer an existing one between registrars when the extension allows this option. Such a transfer does not change the ownership of your domain name; the sole thing that changes is the place where you'll be able to control the domain name. The majority of the domain name extensions are available for registration by any kind of entity, but numerous country-code extensions have particular requirements such as local presence or an active company registration.
