The World Wide Web uses unique numbers referred to as IP addresses and each unit or site that is a part of the Web contains this type of an address. It is pretty difficult to remember to go to 123.123.123.123 to open a website though, that's why a significantly simpler system was made in the 1980s - domains. Every single domain name features a primary part and an extension, to give an example domain.com or domain.co.uk. A wide range of extensions exist worldwide - some of them are assigned to countries, for example .co.uk in the aforementioned example, which is assigned to the United Kingdom, while others are generic, such as .com or .net. A number of extensions are available for registration by every entity and others have certain requirements - business registration, local presence, and so on. You'll be able to obtain a new domain name from a registrar company like ours and when the extension supports domain transfers, you'll be able to move an existing domain between registrars as well.
