I believe you have heard about domain names several times. Today let’s get to know what is a domain name, its component and how the registration process is done.

What is a domain name?

A domain name is your website name. A domain name is an address where Internet users can access your website. A domain name is used for finding and identifying computers on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of numbers. However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses.

A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, and it can be used in combination with various domain name extensions, such as .com, .co.ke, .net, and more.

The domain name must be registered before you can use it. Every domain name is unique. No two websites can have the same domain name. If someone types in www.yourdomain.com, it will go to your website and no one else’s.

The price of a domain name typically runs between $12.95  – $15.95 per year.

A domain name is an essential part of having a website, but it’s only part of the equation. In order to launch a website, you’ll also need content and a hosting service to store your files so they can be accessed on the internet. Remember that owning a domain does not mean hosting is also included.

With yak cloud, a professional domain name is included for free with the Platinum Hosting plan.

Professional emails at your domain name can also help you boost your credibility and build your brand. For example, [email protected] can make your website seem more trustworthy and legitimate.
