What is domain name registration?

Many people ask us “What is domain registration?”.  Here is the short answer without getting into any technical jargon. First you need to understand what a domain is.Domain registration

    A domain name on the internet is like your “address” and “phone number” rolled into one.
    Just like an address points to your “place of business”, the domain name points to your website.
    Just like a phone number allows people to call you, your domain name is part of your email address and lets people communicate with you electronically.
    A domain name is also part of your brand – when people think of your domain name they should think of your company and vice versa.
    Once a domain name is registered, no one else can use it – you own it.  You get to control the website that it points to, and what email addresses are associated with it.
    You can register as many domain names as you like and point them all to the same place if you want (i.e. the same website or the same email inbox).
    The yearly registration fee for a domain name is typically to set up and manage the information that says
    what website it points to, and;
    what email addresses are to be used.
    Domain names are also bought and sold – some people register domain names they think other people might want and then sell them at a premium price.  For example someone is trying to sell the domain name “credit-card.com” for $10,000.
    Most people agree that the shorter a domain name the better because it is easier to remember and takes less time to type in.

The most important thing about a domain name registration is that it gives you personality and recognized identity. Once you register a domain name, the information about its owner is publicly available.
