What is a “Domain Name”?

The domain name is what iden­ti­fies your web site from all of the oth­ers. It is what allows vis­i­tors to find your site. It basi­cally serves the same func­tion as your mail­ing address. Peo­ple enter your domain name into a search engine or browser address win­dow and the com­put­ers use that infor­ma­tion to deter­mine where your web site is on the inter­net and allows vis­i­tors to see it in their web browsers.

If you have never reg­is­tered a domain name before it may seem a lit­tle con­fus­ing. Some are lured by the very low cost of reg­is­tra­tion only to find that they are on their own when it comes to mak­ing sure its prop­erly set up or when they decide they would like to host their web site with another web site host­ing company.

Solid Host Design can man­age these activ­i­ties for you. Solid Host Design can also reg­is­ter your domain name, assist you in decid­ing what name would best serve your goals. Another ser­vice offered is updat­ing your domain name records when you decide to move your web site to another web site host­ing company.
