What's a Domain Name?

Want a website? Personalized email? How about an easy, affordable way to promote your business, class reunion or favorite hobby?

A unique, memorable ".com" domain name is the first step to doing all this and more. It's your 'address' on the World Wide Web, and along with your website, serves as your online identity reflecting your purpose and/or personality. Friends, family, customers–anyone in the world with internet access–can type your domain name into their web browser and visit your website.

Today, there are many options in choosing a domain name depending on your business type or purpose. The most popular and well-known are the ".com" domains; however, domain extensions have become more specialized over the past few years to reflect the nature of your site. For example, a ".org" site is typically associated with a non-profit organization or charity; a ".net" is usually associated with an internet-only organization, and a ".tv" site is associated with a site relating to a TV show, series, station or network. Although you can choose whichever domain extension you like, it's smart, and good web etiquette, to choose the one that most accurately reflects your business purpose. This will ensure maximum exposure for your business over time.
