What is a Domain Name

A domain name is your website name. It is the address that you type into your web browser address bar to get to a website. A domain name is unique to a website. In other words, no two websites can have the same domain name. Your domain is your identity on the internet.

Computers use IP addresses, which are simply a series of numbers. However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses.

The domain name must be registered before you can use it. Here at Webspace we offer domain registration services. Visit our Webspace website to do a domain search and purchase your preferred domain based on its availability.
