A domain is an easy-to-use and unique website address which you'll be able to acquire for your web site. It maps a numeric IP address that is applied to distinguish web sites as well as devices on the Internet and it's easier to remember or share. Each domain name features two separate parts - the name that you select and its extension. For instance, in domain.com, “domain” is called Second-Level Domain and it is the part you will be able to choose, whereas “.com” is the extension, which is identified as Top-Level Domain (TLD). You're able to get a new domain name through any accredited registrar company or relocate an existing one between registrars when the extension can support this feature. This type of a transfer does not change the ownership of your domain name; the only thing that changes is where you can take care of that domain name. Most domain extensions are open for registration by any entity, but a large number of country-code extensions have particular conditions like local presence or a current business registration.
