Domain names: search for your unique web address
Purchasing a domain name is very important so that people can find your business website on the internet.
What are domain names?
A domain name is similar to a postal address. Computers and devices that are connected to the Internet are allocated ‘addresses’ that are made up of numbers called IP addresses. These numbers are hard for people to remember so instead, unique names are created to represent these addresses, E.G. www.smeweb-solutions.com – which is of course, much easier to remember!
When you register a domain name, it’s unique to you. When a user enters it into a web browser they are taken directly to your website homepage, which is like an entrance or ‘shop front’ to your business. You’ll also be able to have multiple email addresses that use the same domain name, so you can assign email addresses to each of your staff member or to general mailboxes such as info@smeweb-solutions.com
