To get your own website online, you need to get a domain name first.

First, how do domain names work? A domain name works like an address forwarding service.

All of your Web site content sits on a computer with a unique address. This is called an IP address. An IP address is made up of a series of numbers, such as 123.23.234.45. Your domain name directs visitors to your site using this IP address.

We use domain names instead of IP addresses because most people find it easier to remember a name rather than a series of numbers.

A good domain name should be easy to remember, as short as possible, tells people about the website, contains all alphabets, with no hypens or underscores. And .com domains is preferred as it is most commonly used.

A good example of good domain names includes www.payfordomains.com , www.xklworldwide.com , www.buywebbiz.com

After registering a domain, you need to find a hosting for your domain, before you can add the website content and bring it online.
