What is a domain name?
A domain name is an internet address that belongs a person or business. A domain name can point to a web page and be used for email.
Importance of owning your domain name
Your domain name is your identity on the internet. It is how people find your website and contact you via email. For a business it provides a more professional email platform. It allows your name to appear in your email address rather than a generic provider such as hotmail, gmail, or btinternet. Even if you have no need for the domain name at the moment it is important to register it to prevent someone else registering it, see our legal section for more details.
