Frequently Asked Questions

What is a domain name?

A domain name is a way to identify and locate computers and resources connected to the Internet. No two organizations can have the same domain name. Every company or organization or individual that wants to be on the internet will register a domain name for use as their on-line identity or name that clients (customers, all internet users) will use to access on-line services such as the organization's website or email system. Much like a company's name, logo, or 800 telephone number, a domain name has marketing value when customers can easily remember and associate it with the organization.
