The World Wide Web is based on unique numbers referred to as IP addresses and every unit or web site that is a part of the Web contains this kind of an address. It is pretty hard to remember to go to 123.123.123.123 to see a website though, that's why a significantly quicker system was created in the eighties - domains. Each and every domain features a primary part and an extension, for instance domain.com or domain.co.uk. A number of extensions exist globally - some of them are given to countries, such as .co.uk in the abovementioned example, which is assigned to the United Kingdom, while others are generic, like .com or .net. Some extensions are available for registration by every entity and others have specific requirements - business registration, local presence, etc. You'll be able to get a new domain from a registrar company like ours and when the extension allows domain transfers, you are able to transfer an existing domain between registrars too.
