Domain names are the casual and familiar names of computers on the internet. These names match a group of numbers on the internet, called internet protocol, which function as routing addresses. Domain names serve as a convenient means to locate information and interact with others on the internet.

Why a domain name?
When setting up a website or online business, is important to register and purchase domain names. Any organization, company, or individual can register and purchase domain names.

Buying a domain name has many advantages, especially if you maintain an online business. A domain name establishes credibility and gives your website an air of respectability. This is particularly helpful if you want your website to be sponsored by advertisers. When you purchase domain names, you get more exposure and interaction, which in turn increases your sales potential. Should you change your web host, a domain name also goes with you. This enables clients and visitors familiar with your domain name to access your site without having to be informed about a change of URL. By simply typing your domain name, they are brought to your new site immediately. Your site can even reach individuals who try their luck by typing your domain name in their browser.

How to register a domain name
Registering for a domain name is simple and easy. Before buying a domain name, first think of a name to fit your product, service or character. This is harder than it sounds, because a lot of good domain names are already taken. You can check domain name availability by going through the online databases of various domain name registers. If the name you chose is not registered, you can pay for the length of time you intend to use it, and have it entered on a domain name registers site. If you purchase domain names in advance of a few years, you save money and ensure the exclusivity of your domain name. You then give your contact information as either owner, billing, administrative, or technical. Some domain name registers give you the option of a public or private registration. A public registration costs less, but a private registration cuts down the amount of SPAM you receive, and more importantly, protects your identity.

The registration process normally takes a few minutes up to an hour to complete. After registering and buying a domain name, you will receive an email confirmation within 24 hours.
