Are you confused about registering a domain name, or even what a domain
name is?
Well never fear, this page will help you understand, in layman's terms: What a
domain name is.
Why you should register a domain name? How easy domain registration is. Who Owns the domain name.
What is a domain name?
A domain name, such as yahoo.com or vehix.com is simply a way
to identify your web site from everyone else's. Just as your mailing address is
unique in the world, so is every domain name, if they were not unique it would
be impossible to accurately deliver anything to its proper location. All the
millions of computers that make up the Internet don't really talk to each other
the way we do, they talk to each other with combinations of numbers but because
remembering a long string of numbers is much more difficult than remembering a
word or phrase, we use what we call domain names - e.g., ebay.com!
There are two things you must choose when registering your domain name:
The name itself, such as joesplumbing, mikeshoes, or in
our case ACTIONpage. The extension - the .com, .net, .org etc. Example:
joesplumbing.com
Why should I register a domain name?
The facts are clear, if you are not using the internet in your business or
for personal endeavors, you will at some point. Each day tens of thousands of
domain names are being registered and when the time comes that you want to
register your domain name of choice, it may very likely be taken by someone
else, and in most cases there is little you can do to acquire it. A word to the wise..."Register now!"
