What Is A Domain Name?

When setting up your first website, it’s not uncommon to get confused between domain name registration and web hosting. Your domain name is the name of your site or your “URL” (www.mynewcompany.com) and can be purchased by going to a domain name registrar. Basically, it’s the name by which your website will be known online and the way people can find it. Domain names usually range from about $10 to $50/year depending on the extension. Getting the right domain name is very important. Just like the name of your business is one of the most recognizable parts of your brand identity in the real world, your domain name will be one of the most important parts of your online identity. It is the first thing that your customers will type into their browser to get to your website or discover it through search engines such as Google or Bing.
Different Types Of Domains
There are many different types of domain names also known as TLD’s (top level domains). We all see a few letters added at the end of your website name, for example, .com, .net, .org. There are also Country Code TLD’s that represent code for each country, for example, .uk (United Kingdom), .us (United States) and so on. You might also notice some websites have prefix “www” and you might wonder if your website needs one. The prefix is simply a personal choice and it won’t make any difference if your website has one or not. You can select your preference when installing your software to build the website.
What Is A Domain Host?

A domain hosting service provider is a business that will provide domain name registration services for you so you can link it to your web host (you can find out more information about web hosting here).

 

Most hosting companies require that you own your domain in order to host with them. These web hosting companies also provide free domain registration if you sign up for one of their hosting packages. If you do not have a domain, we can provide assistance and guidance on how to get a domain and get your site up and running on the internet.
