The World Wide Web uses unique numbers known as IP addresses and every unit or site that is a part of the Web has this type of an address. It would be very difficult to remember to visit 123.123.123.123 to see a website though, so a significantly quicker structure was launched in the 80s - domain names. Each domain features a main part and an extension, to give an example domain.com or domain.co.uk. Various extensions exist worldwide - part of them are assigned to countries, such as .co.uk in the aforementioned example, which is given to the United Kingdom, while various others are generic, like .com or .net. Many extensions are available for registration by every entity and others have particular requirements - business registration, local presence, and so on. You can acquire a brand new domain name from a registrar company such as ours and if the extension supports transfers, you're able to transfer an existing domain name between registrars too.
