A domain such as: companyname.com can be used for a homepage address such as: www.myhomepage.com and for email addresses such as: mailname@myhomepage.com. Technically, a domain name is the translation of an IP address. This is a number, which computers need in order to communicate over the Internet. Every domain is unique, otherwise the content could not be uniquely assigned. A complete domain name consists of the following: - Top Level Domain:
.de, .at, .ch, .com, .net, .org or others
- Your desired name:
for example: xyz, myhomepage, firstname-surname, company-shop and many more.
