A domain name is a special address that you're able to get from a registrar company. All devices that are linked to the Web, such as web servers, possess numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are quite difficult to remember, for this reason the domain platform was launched as an easy way to recognize a certain site on the World Wide Web. By result of this, your site is available at www.domain.com in place of 123.123.123.123, for example. Your domain name includes 2 different parts - the Second-Level Domain, which is the actual website name that you are able to pick, as well as the Top-Level Domain, which is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You'll be able to register a new domain via any kind of registrar or migrate an existing domain name between registrars in a few easy steps. In the event that you decide to do the latter, your domain name shall be renewed automatically by the gaining registrar as soon as the transfer process is carried out. In addition to the universal Top-Level Domains, there are country-code ones too. A number of them can be registered by anyone, while others will need regional presence or a business license.
