A domain name is a link to an Internet Protocol (IP address), an IP is a unique string of numbers and characters of a particular site, with the use of an&nbsp;IP address you can access websites, but it is hard to remember the correct IP because of all the string and character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the domain name is a representation of the IP address in other for the user to quickly and easily remembered the name of a particular website, like&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/techvocast.com\/\">techvocast.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a user inputs a domain name into a web&nbsp;browser, the browser uses the IP address to represent access to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All domain name ends with an extension, a unique one that represents a site, .com which is the most useful and most popular of all domain extension, with others such as .org, .net, .tech, .store .blog, and more. Each of these extensions distinguishes a site with the use of the Top Level Domain (TLD), there is also a country-level domain name such as co.za, co.uk, .in, .ng, .ca, and Governments Level Domain name, like .gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these Top-Level Domain has its respective prices, when you are considering registering a domain it can cost from as low as $1 to $50 depending on the name you&#8217;re choosing. Most domain names cost more, mostly for the new TLD like .bio .store than the commons once like .com .net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why brands are using the new TLDs, they are making a move to offer uniqueness to their businesses. This new extension may be the perfect option for expressing brands&nbsp;most vibrantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>ALSO SEE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvocast.com\/news\/web-hosting-provider-with-free-website-transfer\/\">Web hosting provider with free site migration<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-up-an-available-domain-name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"looking-up-an-available-domain-name\"><\/span>Looking up an available domain name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;you have a unique name in mind, you can register it through an independent domain registrar, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/track\/techvocast\">Bluehost<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/namecheap.pxf.io\/c\/1224467\/487330\/5618\">Namecheap<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.domain.com\/\">Domain.com<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostg.xyz\/aff_c?offer_id=6&amp;aff_id=24768\">Hostinger<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/r.cgi?2449662\">DreamHost<\/a>,&nbsp;or any other company you&#8217;ll be hosting your site with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have a website yet or you&#8217;re planning to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvocast.com\/how-to\/how-to-start-a-blog\/\">create a website<\/a>, you can still claim ownership of that perfect domain name and hold on to it until you are ready to set up your website.
