The World Wide Web is based on unique numbers identified as IP addresses and every device or website that is part of the Web has this kind of an address. It would be pretty hard to remember to go to 123.123.123.123 to load a website though, because of this a much easier structure was created in the 1980s - domains. Every single domain contains a main part and an extension, for example domain.com or domain.co.uk. A number of extensions exist globally - part of them are given to countries, just like .co.uk in the aforementioned example, which is assigned to the United Kingdom, while others are generic, for instance .com or .net. Many extensions are available for registration by any kind of entity and some others have particular requirements - company registration, regional presence, and so on. You'll be able to acquire a brand new domain from a registrar organization like ours and if the extension allows domain name transfers, you're able to relocate an existing domain name between registrars too.
