Why do I need a domain and how do I register one?

rich · March 21, 2023 ·

Domain name is the address of your website that people type in the browser URL bar to visit your website.

In simple terms, if your website was a house, then your domain name will be its address.

If you want a presence on the Internet you need to register a domain name.

When you enter a domain name in the browser, it will send a request to a domain name system (DNS) server. This can either be hosted by your ISP or by a reputable third-party that relies on a distributed global network of servers for superior performance. 

It is the duty of these servers to look up the name servers associated with the domain name and then forward your request to those name servers. The name servers are computers that are managed by the website’s web hosting company. 

You can buy a domain name from several companies, but for ease of use we can purchase one for you and manage all the settings to ensure it points to our web servers. We will then renew your domain name annually.
