So what is a Domain name and why would I want one?

A domain name defines an organisation's/individual's online presence. It is usually derived from an organisation's/individual's real world name or from a product or service they provide. This way it is possible to preserve and extend an existing real world identity into the virtual world of the Internet. Statistics show that most Internet users search by a real world name/identity to find its equivalent online services. So if you want to be found on the Internet, choosing your domain names should be done carefully.

Domain names are unique and can only be issued on a first come, first served basis. Even if you are not planning to organise your Internet services for a while it may be wise to decide, register and host your domain names without any services (a dormant domain) right now. Dormant domains cost very little to host and secure your online presence until you are ready to make use of it.
