The World Wide Web is based on unique numbers known as IP addresses and every unit or website that is part of the Web features this kind of an address. It really is pretty hard to remember to visit 123.123.123.123 to load a website though, because of this a much quicker system was made in the eighties - domains. Every single domain is made of a main part as well as an extension, for example domain.com or domain.co.uk. Plenty of extensions exist worldwide - some of them are given to countries, like .co.uk in the abovementioned example, which is given to the United Kingdom, while various others are generic, such as .com or .net. Many extensions are available for registration by any entity and others have specific requirements - company registration, regional presence, etc. You're able to get a new domain name from a registrar firm like ours and when the extension supports domain transfers, you're able to transfer an existing domain between registrars too.
