What is a Web Address (domain name)?

A domain name is an Internet address (example simplywebservices.com): it is similar to a customized license plate or a permanent phone number or address. A domain name also allows you to receive e-mail at a customized e-mail address. If your organization's name is Tom's Hardware, you could register the domain name tomshardware.com and your e-mail address could be something like tom@tomshardware.com. Basically speaking, your domain name is the core of your Internet identity, your online brand. Your customers will remember this name and use it to find out about your products and services. And since no two parties can ever hold the same Web Address simultaneously, your Internet identity is totally unique. Please keep in mind that you own the domain name for 2 years initially then annually there after.

Why domain names and what is a URL then?

Domain names are an easy way to remember where a web site is at. If we did not use domain names, then we would have to use numbers. Each computer on the Internet has it's assigned an address, this address known as an IP address is unique to that computer during that connection to the Internet. Remembering www.name.com is easier than trying to remember 199.55.182.10. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is really nothing more that the domain name or location of the web site. http://www.tomshardware.com would be a URL. It much like your address for your house, 123 There Street is easy to find than lot 314, plot 12, zone D.
