What is a domain name?

Domain names are simply addresses on the Internet. A domain name is a series of letters, numbers, and characters which determines the location of a website. For example our domain name is 'robertmaxim.com'. A word 'phrase' domain name is easier for users to remember than just a number.

You will need a domain name before your website can be placed online. Please see How to choose a Domain Name for tips on selecting a domain name.
