Domain Name

Q: What is a Web Address (domain name)?

A: Your Web address is an important element of your online identity. It sets the tone for your online brand and provides a name your customers will remember to find your Web site on the Internet. And since no two parties can ever hold the same Web Address simultaneously, your Web Address is totally unique.

Without a Web address, people can't find you on the Web. Your Web address is the first step to being online - it's what visitors type into their computers to find your Web site. A Web address is also known as a "domain name" or a "URL." The simpler your address the better - and we can help by providing your business its own domain name to make your Web address memorable.

Technically, a Web Address is a naming convention used for identifying and locating computers on the Internet. Computers use Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate each other on the Internet, but IP addresses are difficult to remember (not to mention they have no personality!). Therefore, Web addresses were developed so that easily remembered words and phrases could be used to identify Internet addresses.
