A domain
name uniquely identifies a website. Typing a domain name (also called a URL)
into your browser allows you to visit that site.
One unique domain name can be used as a company's web address and for its email
addresses.
Domains are much more than just names typed into a web browser. Your domain
name is how the world will think of you and your business. It's part of your
