A domain names is the first part of the address you type in to visit a website – for example google.com.

Owing a domain name allows you to control what that domain name points to. It directs visitors to your website, or any website you wish. You can do this by hosting a website on the domain name, or forwarding the domain name to an existing website/URL.

You can also use the domain name to create email addresses, rather than using public email services such as Gmail. Gain instant credibility with your customers by creating an email address on your own domain name.
