Domain Registration by findingphysics.com

Domain names are the internet addresses that point people to your website. "Just as postcodes are used for particular street names, computers connected to the internet have unique numerical addresses so that electronic information is delivered to the right place.

"The Domain Name System [DNS] translates the numerical IP addresses of computers into more user friendly names. Domain names are easier to recall than IP addresses and help people to find information on the internet." Most domain names start with www. followed by your chosen name, and have a variety of endings, but the most common are .com, .net, .org and .biz

However, it's possible that the standard address provided by your ISP might be a little longwinded and complicated. If you want a catchy, easy to remember or personalised address for your website, then purchasing your own domain name is the answer. Click here to purchase your domain. You can also set up email accounts for your domain name for personalised email addresses and mail that pertains to your website. Registration of a domain name generally lasts for one or two years. Prices vary depending on which company you register the domain name with and the type of domain name you choose. A .com domain name, for example, is usually more expensive than a .co.us address because of its worldwide status.
