Domain Name

This is the address or URL of a particular website. For example www.Google.com is the domain name for the Google search engine.

Search-engineers-inc.com is the domain name of this site.

The domain name is the text name that covers up the numeric IP address of a computer that is hooked up to the Internet.

Domain names make the World Wide Web more user-friendly. Instead of having to remember a string of numbers, we can remember the name of the website.

Registering a domain name for an online venture can cost as little as $10. Website domain names are registered to prevent people from using the same name for their website.

There are several different companies that allow you to register a website and many of these companies offer hosting packages as well.

Network solutions is one of the most reliable and has been around for many years. Others will offer hosting and other services; for example, yahoo. Com and hostgator.com offers a full suite of tools, including email editor, easy upload, and ecommerce components.
