What is a domain name and what can it do for you?
A domain name provides an online identity and a contact point for your business, organization, or project. Almost every transaction
on the Internet relies on a domain name to conduct commerce, display Web pages, deliver e-mail, and more.
For example, these Internet addresses depend on the domain amazon.com:
- http://www.amazon.com
- feedback@amazon.com
You can register any domain name ending in .com, .org, or .net (and other top-level domains), provided the name is not in use
by another party. Use the Domain Metasearch to look up potential names, to secure the name you want, and to get additional
hosting.
Prominent businesses often register several domains, one for their primary brand and one for each product. Some companies even
register extras, such as their stock ticker or other names, as a defense against competitors and vocal critics. Guess who owns each
of these domain names:
- windows.com
- dellkorea.com
- intc.com
