A domain is a distinctive address that you are able to acquire via a registrar company. All devices that are connected to the Web, including web servers, feature numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are very hard to remember, for this reason the domain name system was introduced as an easy way to recognize some site on the Web. Using this method, your web site is available at www.domain.com instead of 123.123.123.123, for instance. A domain name has two parts - the Second-Level Domain, which is the actual site name that you'll be able to select, as well as the Top-Level Domain, which is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You will be able to register a new domain name through any kind of registrar or migrate a current domain name between registrars in just a few easy steps. In the event that you choose to do the latter, your domain name will be renewed immediately by the gaining registrar as soon as the transfer process has been completed. In addition to the universal Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones as well. Some of them can be registered by anybody, while some others need local presence or a business license.
