What is a domain name, and how do I register one?

A domain name is your website’s address (e.g., example.com). To register a domain:

1. Choose a Unique Name: Keep it short, memorable, and relevant to your brand.
2. Check Availability: Use a domain registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap to search for availability.
3. Select an Extension: .com is the most common, but .net, .org, or niche TLDs can also work.
4. Register & Secure It: Purchase the domain and enable domain privacy protection if needed.
Domains must be renewed periodically to maintain ownership.
