The World Wide Web is based on unique numbers referred to as IP addresses and every single device or web site that is part of the Web features this type of an address. It is pretty hard to remember to visit 123.123.123.123 to open a website though, that's why a significantly quicker structure was introduced in the 1980s - domain names. Each domain consists of a main part and an extension, for example domain.com or domain.co.uk. Various extensions exist globally - part of them are given to countries, just like .co.uk in the aforementioned example, which is given to the United Kingdom, while others are generic, like .com or .net. A number of extensions are available for registration by any kind of entity and some others have certain requirements - business registration, regional presence, and so on. You can get a new domain via a registrar organization such as ours and when the extension supports domain name transfers, you can transfer an existing domain name between registrars as well.
