A domain is a special address that you're able to get through a registrar company. All of the units that are linked to the Web, such as web servers, possess numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are pretty difficult to remember, for that reason the domain name platform was launched as an easy way to distinguish some web site on the World Wide Web. By result of this, your website is available at www.domain.com in place of 123.123.123.123, for example. A domain name includes two separate parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual website name that you are able to choose, and the Top-Level Domain, that's the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You are able to register a new domain name via any type of registrar or move a current domain between registrars in a couple of simple steps. Whenever you decide to do the latter, your domain name shall be renewed instantly by the gaining registrar the moment the transfer process has been completed. In addition to the universal Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones too. Many of them can be registered by anyone, while some others require regional presence or a business license.
