What about Domain Names?
The first step to establishing your web presence is registering a domain name. Whether your are an individual or a business, with a domain name you can pick a memorable and appropriate name that will make it easier for people to find you on the web.
Registering couldn't be easier with our simple and secure ordering system.
What is a domain name?
Computers connected to the Internet have unique numerical addresses so that electronic information is delivered to the right place. The domain name system (DNS) translates the numerical addresses of computers into more user-friendly names. The resulting domain names are easier to remember and help people to find information on the Internet.
Domain names are used to identify particular web pages. For example, in the web site address "http://www.familyhistoryhosting.uk.com/index.html" the domain name is familyhistoryhosting.uk.com.
Domain names are also used in e-mail addresses, for example, user@http://www.familyhistoryhosting.uk.com, that enables people to send and receive electronic messages.
What is a TLD?
For example, www.hallamfamily.co.uk is in the top-level domain "uk" (for United Kingdom).
Every other country has its own top-level domain - .uk for the United Kingdom, and for example ".us" for the U.S.A.
Within the .uk domain, there is a .ac.uk subdomain for academic sites and a .co.uk domain for commercial ones. Other top-level domains may be divided up in similar ways.
In the US and some other countries, the following top-level domains are used much more widely than the country code:
- .com - commercial bodies
- .edu - educational institutions
- .gov - U. S. government
- .mil - U. S. armed services
- .net - network operators
- .org - other organisations
