What Is a Domain on the Internet and What Is It For?

You can’t imagine the millions of people WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT A DOMAIN IS — and that’s normal, don’t worry. Here I’ll explain why, but not only that — I’ll also tell you:

• What types of domains are there?
• What is a domain for?
• How much does it cost? How or where do you buy a domain?
• How do I create a free domain?
• What does it mean to buy a domain? (rental)
• What do you need to buy a domain? Can anyone buy a domain?
• How do I buy the perfect domain?
• I already have a domain — how do I make it work?
• Can I sell my domain?
• How do I connect my domain with my hosting company?

Very quickly… we could say that a domain is a NAME. Just like John, Anne, or Louis — but a name on the internet.

There are millions of people who don’t know what a domain is, even though they use them every day. Do you know why? Very simple: it’s because we’re used to entering websites through Google. What we all do when we search for something is look it up on Google, and that’s it! Google finds the domains for us. Everything Google shows us is “domains” — the names of companies and people on the internet.

So if you want to appear in GOOGLE’s search results, YOU NEED A DOMAIN.

FINDING AN AVAILABLE DOMAIN IS HARD

The difficult part right now is finding an available domain. That is, finding a name that fits your business well and is still available.

Imagine your business is car rental, and you’ve had the happy idea of registering the domain carrental.com… What a great idea… you’re probably thinking. But unfortunately, that domain already belongs to another company, and has for many years.
