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 as part of the process of determining 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 of us are lured by the very low cost of registration only to find that we are on own own when it comes to making sure the domain name is properly set up.

Imagine what you would feel if  later on you decide you would like to move your web site to another web site hosting company, you discover you cannot take your domain name with you.
