A domain represents the unique name assigned to an organization or individual on the Internet.It uniquely identifies where you can be found. Having a straight-forward, easy to remember domain is crucial to your business success.
The domain name is comprised of several parts. The last part of the domain ( e.g., .com ) is referred to as the top-level domain ( TLD ). In theory, the TLD represents a type of entity. For instance, .com stands for "commercial". It was originally meant to be for commercial enterprises ( business ), but that has become something of a misnomer as even people with personal websites use the .com TLD.
Other popular TLDs include: .net - originally meant to signify Network organizations such as Internet Service Providers ( ISP ),
.edu - Education establishments, .org - Non-profit organizations , .gov - Government organizations , .biz - a business , .name - individual/person , .info - information service and many others.
