What Is a Domain Name?
A domain name (also called an URL, or Uniform Resource Locator) is the name of your website without the leading www. For example, the domain name of a typical company website is something like yourcompany.com, a name registered with a domain registrar at a cost of $70.00 for two years.
Every single domain name on the Internet is unique. Often your first choice is taken, and you might have to be creative to find a name that is available.
You can go to a domain registrar’s whois database page and enter domain names to see who owns them, or if they are available.
You can also have Computer Help USA research domain names for you.
