What is a Domain Name &
Why Do I Need Domain Names?
A domain name is a company's unique identifier on the Internet.
Internet computers know how to transmit information with Internet
protocol (IP) numbers. However IP numbers are rather long and
do not make sense to individuals surfing the Web. Domain name
service (DNS) that Internet providers offer invisibly turn these
long and difficult to remember IP numbers into easy to remember,
brandable domain names. This same unique domain name can be
used with a company's Web address and their email addresses.
 The format for a Web address
is usually "www.yoursitename.com" while an email
address is generally myname@yoursitename.com.
The portion of a domain name that is to the left of the dot
is called the second level name. The word "company"
in company.com is the second level domain. Top level domain
(TLD) is the portion of a domain name that is to the right
of the dot. In this example, ".com" is the TLD.
