What
is a Domain Name?
A domain name is unique name (www.yourcompany name.com) which people use
to access your website. Having your own domain name is highly recommended
as it helps to raise your organization's profile. You can use it for your
website and email (e.g. john@yourcompanyname.com), regardless of who your
Internet Service Provider or website hosting company is, either now or
in the future. A domain name is portable and in most cases has to be renewed
yearly for a fee.

website, type in the domain name you are interested in purchasing for your
business and see if it's available. Always have a few options ready incase
your desired name is already taken.
