A
domain name is made up of two parts, typically preceded by
www. Let's use aptwebcreations.com as an example: The first
part, aptwebcreations, is a unique name that represents the
web site. The second part, com, is the extension, and stands
for "commercial." There are many extensions available,
though .com, .net, .biz, .info, and .in are the most popular
extensions.
Why is a good domain name important?A good domain name helps
you in numerous ways.
Build credibility: Show your customers that you have an established
business.
Improve your marketing: Provide customers an easy way to remember
and contact you.
Protect your brand: Secure the domain name that best represents
your business name and keep it out of the hands of your competitors.
For Consumers
Describe your site as best you can with your domain name.
For example, a pair of amateur magicians might use their stage
names, some combination of words including magic, or the name
of their most famous trick.
