A domain name is the part of your Internet address that comes after the "www". Your domain name is your address on the World Wide Web. It's where people can find you, and it serves as your online identity. Behind the scenes, the domain name is actually pointing to a physical location - a computer server- that holds your website files. It knows where to find your website by using special DNS computers called "name servers".

Businesses typically register domain names with their company name and sometimes also register their product names or a combination of both. Individuals often register family names or names that have a personal interest to them. Domain names have two parts: the label and the extension, or top-level domain, separated by a 'dot.' In GlobalBizHost.com, 'GlobalBizHost' is the label and 'com' is the top-level domain. The entire Web address, http://www.globalbizhost.com, is known as the URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

Popular domain name extensions are available to anyone such as: .COM which was originally intended for use by commercial organizations, .NET which was originally intended for use by sites directly related to the Internet, .ORG which was riginally intended for use by non-profit organizations. Other generic extensions such as .INFO, .NAME and .BIZ have more recently become available as well. You can also register domain names that are specific to a certain country. For example, the extensions .PH, .US, and .UK correspond to the Philippines, United States, and United Kingdom, respectively.

Your domain name can be an important tool in marketing your Web site. Usually your company name or some variation of it works best. Remember this is your Web address. Make it easy for your customers to find you.
