A domain name is a user-friendly and unique web address which you're able to obtain for your site. It maps a numeric IP address that is applied to identify websites as well as units on the World Wide Web but it is quite easy to remember or distribute. Each and every domain features two separate parts - the name that you select plus the extension. To give an example, in domain.com, “domain” is known as Second-Level Domain and it's the part you are able to select, whereas “.com” is the extension, which is also called Top-Level Domain (TLD). You are able to buy your domain name through any accredited registrar company or transfer an active one between registrars when the extension can support this option. This type of a transfer does not change the ownership of a domain name; the one thing that changes is where you'll be able to control that domain name. Most domain name extensions are free for registration by all entities, but numerous country-code extensions have specific requirements for instance regional presence or an active business registration.
