Six Steps to Domain Hosting
1. What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is used to locate a website, similar to address that tells people where you live. One types the domain name in the following format - www.domain.com - in the web browser to access the website.
1. What is a Domain Name?
The domain name follows the letters "www" (e.g. www.bbc.co.uk). It consists of two parts: the first part (bbc) is classed as the second level domain (SLD) and the latter part (co.uk) is known as the Top Level Domain (TLD).
2. Types of Domain Name
Before selecting the Second Level Domain Name one should choose the appropriate top-level domain name, like .com or .co.uk.
2. Types of Domain Name
The top level domain is coined to be used for a specific purpose. For example, a UK based company would use the co.uk domain, a non-profit making organisation would choose the .org. domain.
3. Availability of Domain Name
Once the TLDs are selected, we will check for the availability of the complete domain name, e.g mycompany.co.uk or mycompany.com or mycompany.biz
