The World Wide Web employs unique numbers known as IP addresses and every unit or web site that is a part of the Web features this kind of an address. It is pretty difficult to remember to go to 123.123.123.123 to load a website though, because of this a much quicker system was introduced in the 80s - domains. Every domain is made of a main part plus an extension, for instance domain.com or domain.co.uk. A large number of extensions exist worldwide - some of them are assigned to countries, for example .co.uk in the aforementioned example, which is assigned to the United Kingdom, while others are generic, like .com or .net. Many extensions are available for registration by any kind of entity and some others have certain requirements - company registration, regional presence, and so on. You will be able to acquire a brand new domain from a registrar firm such as ours and if the extension supports domain name transfers, you'll be able to relocate an existing domain between registrars as well.
