The World Wide Web employs unique numbers known as IP addresses and each device or web site that is part of the Web has this type of an address. It would be very hard to remember to visit 123.123.123.123 to see a website though, because of this a much easier system was introduced in the eighties - domain names. Every domain name is made of a primary part plus an extension, for instance domain.com or domain.co.uk. Many different extensions exist globally - some of them are given to countries, just like .co.uk in the aforementioned example, which is assigned to the United Kingdom, while many others are generic, such as .com or .net. A number of extensions are available for registration by any entity and others have certain requirements - business registration, regional presence, and so on. You will be able to acquire a new domain name from a registrar company like ours and if the extension allows domain transfers, you're able to transfer an existing domain name between registrars too.
