A domain is a special address that you're able to obtain from a registrar company. All the units which are connected to the Web, such as web servers, feature numeric addresses, or IP addresses, which are very hard to remember, for this reason the domain name system was created as an easy means to distinguish a certain site on the Web. As a result, your site is available at www.domain.com rather than 123.123.123.123, for instance. Your domain name features two different parts - the Second-Level Domain, that is the actual web site name that you're able to select, plus the Top-Level Domain, that is the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You are able to register a new domain name via any sort of registrar or move an active domain name between registrars in a few easy steps. Whenever you choose to do the latter, your domain shall be renewed immediately by the gaining registrar right after the transfer process is finalized. In addition to the generic Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones too. A number of them can be registered by anybody, while some others demand regional presence or even a business license.
