A domain name is essentially a signpost on the Internet. Every website you've ever been to,
and every email you've ever composed, has used a domain name in its address.
People register domain names in order to 'stake a claim' to a particular name -- whether for
business or personal reasons. Once a domain name is registered to a person or company, it is
that person's to use exclusively as long as they continue to pay the yearly renewal fee.
Some things to consider when creating that domain name that works
well for you and or your business.
- Create a name as short as practical.
- Letters and numbers are always valid characters in a domain name.
- Hyphens may also be used, but may not begin nor end your domain name.
- Spaces and and special characters, such as exclamation points (!) and
underscores (_), are never permitted in domain names.
- A domain name can be can be up to 67 characters long
including the four characters used to identify the top-level
domain .COM, .NET, .ORG.
