I am doing a research project for my class and I need to answer this question:
“What is a domain name and how do I go about getting one?”
I read a few articles, but no one gives me, an average computer dummy:), a simple and full answer.
Thanks in advance!
A domain name is a web address like http://www.google.com. It is used in place of an IP address to locate a remote server/computer. To get one, you can either a) purchase it directly from ICANN (costs lots of money, not easy to do) , or b) pay a registrar (such as godaddy.com or 1&1.com) a small fee (mine is like $5.00 /yr) to hold a domain name for you. While you continue to pay that fee, the domain is registered in your name and is yours to use as you wish.
a very nice article about “domain name”is given here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name
you can purchase domain name from domain registrars like Go Daddy, eNom, Network Solution,Tucows,INWW.com , Schlund.de,
. Moniker Online Services ,Register.com , DomainDiscount24 , SafeNames
or just search the keyword domain name on google
