A Domain Name is used to identify a computer or computers on the internet. It allows you to select a unique name for you or your business to communicate over the internet. For example, if your business is named Luna Park, you might choose the domain name lunapark.com or lunapark.com.au.
Once you have registered your domain, it can be used to identify your business on the web, for example: http://www.lunapark.com.au, as well as any email addresses you want to have, for example pete@lunapark.com.au or sales@lunapark.com.au. Domain names are usually registered through your Web Hosting provider, and are usually renewed for 1 or 2 years at a time, depending on the domain name you want. The cost to have a domain name is very inexpensive, and is required for anyone wishing to have a web site.
