A domain is a special address that you're able to get from a registrar company. All of the units which are linked to the World-Wide Web, such as web servers, feature numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are rather difficult to remember, for this reason the domain system was created as an easy way to identify a given website on the Web. By result of this, your site is available at www.domain.com as an alternative to 123.123.123.123, for example. A domain name features two separate parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual website name that you can select, as well as the Top-Level Domain, which is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You are able to register your new domain through any sort of registrar or migrate an existing domain between registrars in a few easy steps. When you decide to do the latter, your domain name shall be renewed automatically by the gaining registrar when the transfer process has been completed. Along with the generic Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones as well. A number of them can be registered by anyone, while some others will need local presence or a business license.
