- In the 21st Century, your Domain Name will be as important as your trademark and is your online identity in the local and global marketplace.

Domain Names correspond to a series of numbers called Internet protocol numbers that serve as routing addresses on the Internet. IP addresses are hard to remember therefore web addresses were developed to permit the use of easily remembered words.
A domain name is a unique alpha-numeric name used to identify a particular computer (i.e. web server or mail server) on the Internet.
Domain names allow Internet users to type in a name, such as myname.com, to identify a numeric address such as 207.228.225.56. The purpose of domain names is to allow ordinary users connected to the Internet to find web sites and send email to addresses with familiar names such as “myname.com” without having to memorize the numerical addresses that actually locate the computers or servers on the Internet.
