What is a domain name
Posted by David Hall on 08 January 2009 01:24 PM
A domain name is your very own "yourcompany.com" Internet identity. You can stamp it in your business cards, brochures, and all your marketing communications.

A domain name is what you type in the browser's address bar to go to a specific website. For example, Google's domain name is: "google.com" (in today's browsers, it is not necessary to type the symbols http:// any more and the www prefix which is not actually part of the domain name can usually be ommitted). A domain name provides an online identity and a contact point for your business. Almost every transaction on the Internet relies on a domain name to conduct commerce, display web pages, deliver e-mail, and more.
