1. What is a domain name?

A simplified explanation of a domain name is when you consider a website name say www.bestcompany.com or a mail address like efficientguy@bestcompany.com .The part BESTCOMPANY.COM is what is referred to as the domain name.

A domain name is a name structure that uniquely identifies a collection of computers on a network on the Internet. You need not have a computer to have a domain name. But you will need a domain name to host a website or receive e-mail.

2. Why do I need a domain name?

If you are thinking of hosting your company’s website or sending/receiving e-mail with your company name, you’ll need to register a domain name for yourself or your company.
