Your Domain Name is your address on the Web. Just like people use your phone number to call you on the phone, your Domain Name allows people to access your site on the Web. Clever, simple, or easy to remember Domain Names are most desirable as they can play a large part in attracting visitors to your site. Five years ago having a Web site was a vanity. Two years ago having a Web site was trendy.
Today having a Web site is a necessity.
People are using the Web for everything from researching schoolwork to buying dinner. Even people who prefer to shop off-line are researching products on the Web. Those might not sound impressive, but don't forget that you'll be able to do those things for people around the world at any time of day or night. You have the potential to become a house-hold name 10,000 miles away. A Web site is simply a collection of files that reside on a computer connected to the Internet.
