A domain is a distinctive address that you can buy through a registrar company. All units which are connected to the World-Wide Web, including web servers, possess numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are very difficult to remember, so the domain system was created as an easy means to distinguish some site on the Web. In this way, your site is available at www.domain.com rather than 123.123.123.123, for instance. A domain name possesses 2 parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual web site name that you are able to select, as well as the Top-Level Domain, which is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You'll be able to register your new domain name through any type of registrar or migrate an active domain name between registrars in just a few easy steps. When you decide to do the latter, your domain will be renewed automatically by the gaining registrar once the transfer process has been finalized. Along with the generic Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones as well. Some of them can be registered by anyone, while some others demand regional presence or a business license.
