Domain Names
What is a domain name?
* A name that identifies a computer or computers on the internet. These names appear as a component of a Web site's URL, e.g. wikipedia.org. This type of domain name is also called a hostname.
* The product that domain name registrars provide to their customers. These names are often called registered domain names.
* Names used for other purposes in the Domain Name System (DNS), for example the special name which follows the @ sign in an email address, or the Top-level domain names like .com, or the names used by the Session Initiation Protocol (VoIP), or DomainKeys.
* They are sometimes colloquially (and incorrectly) referred to by marketers as "web addresses".
Aquiring a domain name is the first step towards creating a web presence. Your domain name is controlled by Name Servers which point to your hosting account.

Even if you have a domain name and would like me to design your website, I can arrange that with ease. |
