A domain is a distinctive address that you're able to obtain from a registrar company. All devices that are linked to the World-Wide Web, including web servers, have numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are rather difficult to remember, so the domain platform was created as an easy means to distinguish a particular site on the Internet. As a result, your website is available at www.domain.com as an alternative to 123.123.123.123, for instance. A domain name has 2 parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual web site name that you'll be able to choose, as well as the Top-Level Domain, that is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You're able to register a new domain via any kind of registrar or migrate an existing domain name between registrars in just a few simple steps. When you decide to do the latter, your domain name will be renewed automatically by the gaining registrar when the transfer process has been carried out. In addition to the generic Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones as well. Some of them can be registered by anyone, while some others demand regional presence or even a business license.
