In the beginning there were just IP addresses - long,
cumbersome strings of numbers that represented computers on the
Internet. (22.106.123.4, for example) In 1984, a system was
introduced known as DNS which translates easy to remember words
and phrases into IP addresses.
Domain names are used as a form of identification on the Internet.
Domain names are easy to remember, easy to type alternatives to
the obscure IP addresses. That means more hits, more return
visitors, less bounced Emails, and the chance to make a lasting
impression on the Web.
Establishing your own unique identity is crucial for online
businesses. Visitors and potential customers will be much more
likely to purchase your goods and services via the Web if they
perceive you as a legitimate, credible entity.
Another benefit of using your own Domain name is that regardless
of how many times you change your access provider or Web Host,
your Email and Web Site address will always remain the same.
Choosing
a Domain Name
Find a nice short name, which accurately explains your site. If
your domain was written on the side of a bus, would people
remember it? Would people know what the site is about? Some
domains are names of companies (www.yahoo.com), and some are
explanations of what the site is about (www.jokesgalore.com). It's
up to you.
