A Domain name is a unique method for identifying yourself or your company to the world on the Internet. It can be accessed from all over the world.
An example would be http://www.yournameorcompany.com. In this instance http, the protocol, means to load or access a HyperText Markup Language, HTML, document. Http could be substituted by ftp, File Transfer Protocol, which is used to transfer files between computers on the Internet. It could also be substituted by Gopher which is used to point to a Gopher server, or telnet, which is used to remotely log-in to other computers.
Yournameorcompany is a uniquely registered name with Internic. We can accomplish the registration for you once we know your desired name. Since all names are unique, there can only be one yournameorcompany.
Com stands for typically a commercial company. Com could be replaced by
Net typically representing Internet Service Providers, Org which is used to
represent non-profit organizations, or Gov which represents government sites. Others
are too numerous to go into here, but typically a .us means inside the US domain, .uk means
inside the United Kingdom domain etc.
