Website Domain?

Question

When you buy a domain what exactly does that mean? Does that give you your own website to conduct your business or what. I am wanting to start my own business online and need a website to do it, is buying a domain what I want to do?

Answer 1

You need a domain and hosting. http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=17282706 here you can get the package deal and it walks you though the process. Starts a $6.99 for six months

Answer 2

It means that you have a unique name on the Internet,

Imagine the Internet as a huge locker, where you have an specified space to put your stuff in, it has the name you have chosen for it. That's your domain name.

If you have a company, I think it's very important to have your own site. Nowadays people have to be able to find you on the web.

I am an independent distributor of domain names at Global Domains International. If you want more info about our product and service tell send me a email and I'll be glad to help.

I would suggest you visit my website http://www.ds32.com

It has been published just for people like yourself. You will see it is not an advertising site just our attempt to impart some of our knowledge and experience to other beginners, as we were 3 years ago.

A domain is a unique website name; as long as someone hasn't already chosen what you want you can buy it. They are a couple of pounds for 2 years or so and you have to remember to renew it! You should really try and buy the .com version and the .co.uk version if you are in UK.

This domain will be in the form www.yourchoiceof name.com

It then needs to be hosted (put up on the world wide web). It then needs to be submitted to the search engines (like Google) It also needs some content.

There are right and wrong ways to do all of these things (as in all aspects of life)

We try to explain why it is important to start the correct way. Like building a house, you need good foundations if it is going to last. Have a look at the site and feel free to contact us with any questions, or even comments.

Answer 4

There are 3 parts:  domain, hosting and a website.

Domain:  this is the name www.yoursite.com

Hosting:  this is where your domain sits(hosted).

Website:  this is your site.

So, to build a website or get your own you'll need to buy a domain name, and find a place to host it and of course build a website.  Ideally, you can find a place that does all three.  

I hope that helps and answers your question.
