A domain name is an easy-to-use and unique web address which you're able to get for your site. It maps a numeric IP address that is applied to distinguish web sites and / or devices on the Internet yet it's quite easy to remember or share. Every domain name contains 2 parts - the actual name that you choose as well as the extension. For instance, in domain.com, “domain” is called Second-Level Domain and it is the part you'll be able to select, while “.com” is the extension, which is also referred to as Top-Level Domain (TLD). You will be able to obtain a brand new domain via any licensed registrar organization or relocate an existing one between registrars when the extension allows this function. Such a transfer doesn't change the possession of your domain; the only thing that changes is where you're able to manage the domain. Most domain extensions are available for registration by all entities, however various country-code extensions have particular conditions like local presence or an active business registration.
