What is a Domain?

With all the updating technology and terminology for software, it is normal to feel overwhelmed when you are researching web hosting services! An important factor of your website is your domain.

Now, you ask, what is a domain? Don’t worry, it is pretty easy to understand! A domain is the identity of your brand/website. It is the keywords supporters will use when searching for your website. So, just like your house has an address, your website does too.

If you would like to get a bit more technical, you can describe a domain as the credential series outlining a realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control within the Internet. These designations are implemented into networking contexts and for application-specific naming and addressing purposes.

If you have a look at the top of your screen in your browser tab, you will find a URL starting with “http://” in the tab and the second half is your domain name.

If you register your domain, you reserve all rights, meaning that no one else can register under your name, and ensuring all domain names are unique! Registering your domain name also allows you to create a personalised email address, like info@mybusiness.co.za. Having a personalised emailed address is especially beneficial for business, as it encourages clients or potential clients to remember the name of your domain. And, that means an increased opportunity for more traction to your website!
