WHAT IS A DOMAIN NAME?

domain name

A domain name tells people how to find your Web site on the Internet.

A domain name (e.g., www.your-name.com, also called a URL and a Web address) is an addressing construct used for identifying and locating computers on the Internet. While computers use Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate each other on the Internet, people find them hard to remember. Therefore, domain names were developed to permit the use of easily remembered words and phrases to identify Internet addresses.

Our hosting packages allow you to use your own domain name for your website. Don't have a domain name? We also offer domain name registration and management.
