What is a Domain Name and Where to Register?

A domain name is an alias for an IP address. Now, what is an IP address? An IP address is a numeric code that represents where to find the content via the Internet. An example of an IP address is 22.226.141.25. Instead of typing in a long IP address easy to forget, a domain name helps you write a memorable name to access the site.

For example, www.alojate.com is a domain name that points to a specific IP address. People can remember a domain name as www.alojate.com much easier than a long numeric code.

Domain names are everywhere as they are used daily. Think of search sites Google and Yahoo both have corresponding domain names google.com and yahoo.com. If you have ever sent an email then you have used a domain name. For example when sending an email to user@hotmail.com, hotmail.com is the domain name.
