Domain Names Explained
Your domain name is a small but important consideration when setting up a website. A domain name is the address of your website allowing people and search engines to find and view your web pages. A domain name is also often referred to as a URL.
When choosing a domain name it is important to choose a memorable, descriptive name. The availability of the name can be checked using the various online domain name lookup tools found in the right hand column of this page.
Once an available name has been decided upon it must be registered through a reliable provider. It is helpful if this providers contract allows you to move the domain name if necessary and that they provide a comprehensive online domain management control panel. This control panel allows configuration of your domain name settings to ensure that it constantly directs traffic to your website.
