What is a domain name ?
Domain name is a unique name that identifies an Internet site. Just like house numbers, every web site has its own number. Since it is hard to remember a number like http://255.154.255.xxx people have invented domain names that are linked to these numbers. The web address for this site is easysiteguide.com.
Each domain name or web address has two parts:
- The label. It can be up to 63 characters long containing letters or numbers.
- The extension is what follows after a .dot. The most common extensions are .com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info.

Domain name has 2 functions: it is the name of your website and it is the name of your email. A lot of people don`t know that when you reserve domain name lets say yourname.com you are also entitled to all the emails with that name.

Choose the best name for your site
For personal/family site: You could register your last name as your domain name. This will give you nice little feature – you could give all your family members an email with unique structure like this: yourname@familyname.com
For business website there are 2 options:
- If you want to be found in major search engines and get lots of traffic than you should choose domain name that has top keywords in it. What search engines do is they first look if there are some websites containing keywords users have searched for. And if you own domain name that consists of that keywords, BAM! you will have free traffic coming in from search engines.
Check for yourself – type any keyword in google and you will see that in top 10 results there is always some website with keywords you have searched for in their domain name.
- If your business is local based and you have no advantage of traffic coming from all over the world you should register a company name. That way you can grow your brand name in specific area.
