A domain name is a user-friendly and unique website address that you can acquire for your website. It maps a numeric IP address that is applied to distinguish sites and devices on the Web and it's rather easy to remember or share. Every single domain includes two different parts - the actual name that you select and the extension. To give an example, in domain.com, “domain” is called Second-Level Domain and it is the part you're able to select, while “.com” is the extension, that is referred to as Top-Level Domain (TLD). You're able to obtain your domain via any certified registrar company or transfer an active one between registrars in case the extension can support this option. This type of a transfer does not change the possession of your domain; the sole thing that changes is the place where you are able to control the domain. Most domain name extensions are open for registration by every entity, but a variety of country-code extensions have particular requirements such as local presence or an active company registration.
