What a domain is
A domain is the memorable address people use to reach a website. It points visitors to technical infrastructure without requiring them to remember an IP address.
How it connects
DNS translates the domain into the server that hosts the site. The domain, DNS and hosting are separate services, even when one provider sells all three.
Before you register
Choose a short, pronounceable name, review trademarks and social profiles, and check renewal pricing, WHOIS privacy, transfer lock and DNS access.
